could someone advise me on the best way to replace the fp? i have searched but came up empty on a write up.

 

Are you aware that it is inside the fuel tank? You will need to drop the tank, or lift the bed, and you will find a large plastic nut. Remove that and the fuel pump and level sensor will pull out the top.

What is the best way? Box off. Or tank drop method?

 

Ado, other note.... I have the large skid plate under the tank.

 

i just replaced my pump several weeks ago...fairly easy...on mine I first removed the skid plate...or I should say first I siphoned all the gas from tank...then disconnect the fuel filler hose...then undo the straps holding up tank...I was able to lower front of tank to ground while disconnecting everything...you`ll need a tool to disconnect fuel lines...on mine a little vent hose or something at rear of tank was hardest to get to...once the tank is out remove the large plastic cap on top there is tool but I used a large pair of channel locks...the pump will lift straight up and out just press the tabs together at top...definitely lower tank rather than removing bed...took me several hours I could probaly do it in a hour now having done it once...hope this helps

 

Ok! Thanks. I appreciate your info. I think im going to try to dive in this weekend and try this job.

 

Can I use the same tool that I use to change the fuel filter to take the lines off the top of the pump. Looks like a coller tool with a slit down side to get on lines. Just checking.

 

since i am not as agile as i once was, i find it easier to remove the bed.
