Bed removal

ok iv been ther and don that no more than a month ago... take the bed off its a hundred times easier but i had 2 other people helping me. the bed is only held on by 6 bolts, 2 bolts by the cab and 4 by the bumper. 1 person at the tailgate and 2 people at either side of the box at the cab and lift. plus if u take the box off u can change the pump and still test the pump to make sure the truk runs rather than fight the tank bak into place only to find that a cable came undone

heres the thing, if u siphon the fuel then u hav the chance of spilling some gas (no reason wasting perfectly good go juice), if u pull the tank then ull spend som time geting the fuel out then u must climb underneath and unbolt the tank and try to support the tank on top of urself. wen u remove the tank u must lower the tank a few inchs then try and squeeze ur hands betwween the tank and the frame to remove the fuel lines or risk braking them. Plus u cant test the pump wen its siting on the ground with no fuel (if u put fuel bak into the tank wile its on the ground to test then siphon it again to put it bak in the truck well ur just a dumbass wasting time) dont know about you but id kill someone if i spent all that time and here the pump has a factory defect
with removing the bed u hav the 6 bolts, then remove the fuel fill hose which is three screws inside of the fill cover (easy to get at, i think it was a 8 or 10mm wrench) then u have a single ground wire that is on the passenger side that is connected to the bed and the cab (if u cant see this ur just blind because it hangs down a little) that requires a 10mm wrench. now for the lights i could not personaly find the cable disconnect, was told it was by the cab but if u look at the lines they wrap around the frame. so i set to remove the taillights in whole from the bed (2 or 3 screws each on the inside of ur bed were the tailgate latchs), then just lift and seperate
