No but most say it is a lot easier to take the bed off than to try and drop a tank.

If you fix yours before I fix mine, pass on the solution..lol. I plan on checking codes in the a.m.
I first noticed it when the temp dropped below 45 at night, and last night it got down to 38, definately worse. Need to fix it before winter hits, it's a long walk to work.

If you want check to see if the check valves are bad, put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel manifold, turn on the key, ground pin #6 of the test (DLC) connector.
At this point the gauge should read 45 psi for an 8 and 55 psi for a 6 with the engine not running.
Un-ground pin#6 while looking at the gauge and see how long it holds pressure.
It should hold for a moment and then drop very slowly, if it drops fast you have a bad check valve.
