88-98 Chevy/GMC 1500/2500/silverado pickup truck Fuel pump - Tipped bed method 

the reason I liked your video and watched or well listend to most of it was due to the fact you took the time to show every detail of the pump, I was able to see what I would need to do to modify one with a stronger pump out of a 99 model truck to retrofit into a 89 Silverado, reason being I installed a 5.7 vortec and im using its computer and wire harness for the whole truck conversion and the pressures of the two pumps are very different between a tbi and a spider injection I think the tbi needed about 40psi where the vortecs required 55-60. thanks for the video. I hopefully wont even have to do this if I can just swap fuel tanks if it will fit on the Silverado being the tank id like to use comes out of a chevy tahoe

My original fuel pump quit working, so I dropped the tank. Glad I did because it was all rusted on tank,pump ring and lines. I am going new with everything, I tried to look up fuel lines, but the want like$100 for them. I'm just going to cut the compression fittings off the new pump,flair the ends and run rubber fuel line. It only has like 10-13 pounds of pressure so it will be fine!!! I like your video, and I thought of this before I seen your video btw.

I did a bed off fuel pump replacement on an f250 a couple years ago.I raised the bed up enough to get 2 2x6 on either side,with pieces of 1 " pipe in between them.I then put some weight in the front of the bed,and rolled it back out of the way.

Fuels pumps are cheap for the these trucks... Always buy a NEW pump, and a NEW fuel strainer. Work smarter, not harder. Nice vid Mike.

great vid Mike. very thorough, too bad about the bad pump, but i had questions about exactly that and fuel pump replacement installation. Great walk through. Thanks

I guess it all depends on how rusted your bolts, nuts are on your vehicle. I dropped the fuel tank on the ground on my 91 short bed Chevy K1500 in about 30 minutes. Two straps with a bolt in one and a nut to loosen on the other. 4 nuts on a brace supporting the tank and it was on the ground.

You Had A Lot Of Trust In A Used Pump. Especially With Idiots That Run The Tank Down To E Often & Never Change Fuel Filters. All That Work, I Would Just Get New Parts & It Will Last Another 10 Years.

good job fast and safe.

Thanks

Good job good detail u should have used a new pump in the beginning

good job. tu ...but man that is the hardest way to replace pump. i think i will go with the hole in the cab route like most .

Where can I get the front fuel lines for an '89 K2500 w/ 359 and automatic?

Thanks for sharing, new subscriber here.

Neat !

I changed my fuel pump and it went out hours later help

Nice video

is it the same changing the fuel pump from a 1992 Silverado

nice car, subbed

What would happen if you connected the wires backwards to the sending unit? Does it reverse the full when empty and empty when full or might it cause the gauge to go down when the truck is on and up when it goes off? Some dude replaced my fuel pump and now it’s showing about 1/4 tank when it’s off and empty when it’s on.

Nice vid, Ive got a rotten return line between the tank and frame to deal with. How you like those winterforce tires? I put a set on a f-150 a week ago, great so far but no snow in Iowa til december probably.

How did that yellow plug come off

nice vid

Did yours misfire randomly when it had a hole before you replaced?

HELPPPP.... Before I replaced the fuel pump on my 94 silverado c-1500 2wd 5.0 the gauge would go way past the full mark and it would run out as soon as it hit the red for reserve on gauge. Ok now I had to replace the fuel pump and now my gauge isn't working at all and my headlights will go to flashing at times. Any ideas?? Thanks for any help!! Just hitting for any help I can get. Had some guy do the work now with this he seems to have left me high and dry..

Dude I have a 94 I like your video but I replaced my fuel pump once and I replaced the pump and sending unit because they were essentially one piece I don't know why you wouldn't just change the whole sending unit it's affordable

Would this be the same process and parts as a 1991 Chevy 1500 with a 6.2 diesel?

do you happen to know whch line should goto fuel filter? i thinki got lines mixed up.

Wouldnt this bend your other side bolts?

i luved your video was great i just had mine changed (fuel pump) by a butcher mechanic & afterwards told me it was an electrical problem truck didn't start now my gas gauge is stuck on full got the truck to running by another dude but now im still fucked cause i don't know what to do about the gas gauge probably have to change the whole sending unit ,,,, what do think ?? thanks where you from ,im from montreal

Does it bend the box when you jack up the one side and leave the other side still bolted on??

Is this Osha approved lol 😆

Like how much is the cost to do that job

I just subbed:) nice Vids!

I just subbed but great video #pleasereturn

I chose to drop the tank....wasn't that hard....BUT, let me first say this: ....Long story short, RESET your computer before doing any trouble shooting........I think I needlessly changed my pump.

Prob your tbi needs rebuilt

why is every video on doing this job show no one ever just removing the fuel tank?

The wind doesn't like your video either

repission the cam next time , all we see is elbows

I see that lifting the bed is stupid
