messed up truck????

If you have to replace the pump, it's a breeze. I just replaced my fuel level sensor which is nearly the same as replacing the fuel pump. I unbolted the truck bed (8 bolts) and with three other guys moved it aft three feet (don't forget to unhook the brake light wiring harnesses). You get to the top of the tank with access to the fuel tank assembly without having to drain the tank and having to remove the tank as most instructions give you (a pain in the ***). It took me less than 2 hours from start to finish.

update:well i change the fuel pump relay just to see if that was the problem but nothing, i took the bed off the truck and turn the key on and no sound comes from the tank so i'm probably gonna buy me one this week, we'll see what happens.

have someone turn the key to on but dont start it and you take your gas cap off put your ear up to the hole and listen when they do this. If you cant hear anything id say its your fuel pump. If thats it hit the bottom of the take with a rubber mallet or something while someone is trying to start it. then it should run long enogh to get you to the shop.

update: first of all i want to thank everyone for their advice it was helpfull, so finally got the new fuel pump in the mail today, i checked for a pump in autozone, advanced auto, pep boys and the dealer, and let me tell you the were spensive the chepest was 275, the one i needed was 388 and in the dealer was 500 and some change, so i went online and found the one i needed in amazon for 221 including shiping and handling( bosch part#67305) it is the same as the factory one, so i put it in after i change the fuel filter wich was usuless, the fuel tha came out of it was charcoal black nasty, so i put the pump in hooked the wires up and fuel lines, i opend the on switch a couple of times to build pressure and finally turn it on and it ran like a champ, man this has been interesting hahahaha

I had one on a old van I got rid of last year to buy my new silverado. It had a vacuum leak for a year before I found it!! If I had known this it would have been a snap!
Again, great idea..I learn something new every day on this site. Thank you for the great idea.
