wayneflorida 0 #1 April 30, 2012 2002 Silverado quit leaving drop zone Sat evening. Towed to my shop 60 miles Sunday. Thanks KC for your AAA.Changed out fuel pump this morning 5.5 hrs. Drain fuel in tank, raise rear of truck, drop fuel tank, put in new pump, put on new wiring harness, raise fuel tank up, lower rear of truck, pick up tools. 1 hr wasted figuring out why we had no power to new pump. Electrical barrel connectors changed out on new harness and got power. My old 81 chevy p/u change fuel pump 30 mins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 April 30, 2012 It is actually much easier to take the bed off the frame to do a fuel pump replacement on the newer (88 and on EFI) GM trucks. I made the mistake on the first one I replaced of doing it by dropping the tank. Taking the bed off was MUCH easier. The fuel pump on my '73 Superbeetle takes about 10 minutes, even though I'm running an electric pump under the tank instead of the stock mechanical pump. At least on modern cars, the fuel tank is under the rear seat so you can get to it by popping off the rear seat. Super easy!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roostnureye 2 #3 April 30, 2012 got a 98 silverado and a 95 s10, found it easier to remove the tail lights and pull the bed. two hours tops, no draining the fuel , no messing with those straps that are always a pain in the ass.Flock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiver30960 0 #4 April 30, 2012 The way you described it is the way I did my 1999 Wrangler. Took me about the same amount of time. I also changed out the gas tank skid to a sturdier model at the same time. Elvisio "two birds" Rodriguez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
