I'm in Maine so I feel ya. It used to look worse, but last fall I put it on the lift and cleaned it all up in good shape before spraying the fluid film to it. A wire brush and hose cleaned it up good. That's why it looks nice.
Did you end up ruining the clips trying to get the piece outta the high pressure line? I'm having same problem trying to get that rusted peice out with those clips holding it in there
I just did a fuel pump in my 2010 GMC ext cab. I cant believe my original pump lasted that long up in Michigan. I ended up replacing the gas lines, lock ring and pump. Just so every thing is not going to give me a surprise, should of done that when I had the tank out moment. After getting everything put back in the tank I sprayed the top of the pump with fluid film to hopefully buy it a little time.
Have any trouble w/ the gas tank strap bolts?Mine is seriosul crusty down there, scared to try spinning them out especially the front one which you can't seem to access the thread sides to spray w/ wd-40 or anything.. thanks
I'm in the rust belt in Midwest just finished mine in 2013 silverado. Did the tip the bed method , worked OK. I had to splice main fuel line, put a new quick connector and splice kit. Everything else was OK. And I put a rubber cover over pump and fuel tank when finished. You can run it and actually check everything is good . Then drop bed ɓack down hook wiring back up.
Is the main fuel line the one with 90° metal elbow? If so, that's the one I'm having trouble with too. The fuel pump outlet broke off inside that connector on mine and now I'm trying to hunt down a replacement fuel line but no one has them. How did you go about splicing your line and what did you use? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm desperate and need my truck running again.
@@Street-Shred82 The supply line (fuel pump to engine) is the one that has a single connection, the forward most one. It sounds like the one you are describing. To get by with it for a few days until I could get a new fuel line, I used a piece of rubber fuel line and connected it with hose clamps. 17 minutes in to the video. I mis-stated it as return line.
that line is the high pressure line feeder line NOT a return line .I would wait to replacement line is untanned .These systems are a non return line system .
Imagine how simple the job would be if the engineers knew what an access panel was. I may have to do this soon myself, I'm getting a long crank and everything that could be causing it is pretty much right there on the pump assembly.
Do you know what the difference is with the pumps on rockauto as far as bed lengths?? So many different pumps and for different bed lengths plus some say they may require a wire harness?? '08 Silverado 1500, 5.3L Vin code J, extended cab with the middle bed length, not short box or long box.
2007 Classic Silverado 143.5" wheel base Extended cab (6.5 foot bed aka standard bed) I just bought a Genuine GM OE from Autozone with limited lifetime warranty. P/N: MU1415
Watch the overall height of pump too . Some shorter than others. Match them up at parts store, avoid splicing electrical connections if possible . Make sure correct connections are same as yours.
