2017 6.2 Random Long Starts
I have been getting these random long starts on and off for a couple of years. Starting to get a little worse. Thinking about changing the fuel pump.
Has anyone done this job themselves? Seems annoying but doable...?

I have not done it yet. Doesn't seem like it should be difficult. Get the tank as empty as possible (really not that hard to do and doesn't take to much driving either). If you don't have skid plates it should be easier. I have heard that to add the factory skid plate can be a pain, because of fastener access, so I am guessing that adds to the fun. Alternately I guess you could remove the bed (seems like more work).

My buddy just had the same issue on his '19 6.2 powered truck. He was having cranking times in excess of 40 seconds. Dealership replaced the fuel pump, problem solved. I would go for the "drop the tank" method.

No, I have not had a lot of issues with filling. If the spout isn't positioned right it might click off, but that is normal.
I might call around to see what kind of quote I get before buying the part.

Known issue, fuel pumps are on national back-order. My 2019 was on back-order for so long the truck was traded in before the fuel pump ever showed up (it had been on order for 3 months).
