My fuel pump went out a few weeks ago. Early Saturday morning on my way to work. She pulled me to the house in the Jeep.. no big deal. When removing the tank, I had to cut the couplings between the filler neck and tank to get everything apart. Ordered them Monday last week and just got them the other day because the package was "delayed from weather" on the morning of the expected delivery day.. Bought an OE pump, snap ring, and tank hanger from Rock Auto.
The connector for the smaller pipe is a tad too tight and took some work to get it installed. Got everything together under the truck and couldn't align the tank with how it needed to be orientated with the frame rail and tank straps. With all the maneuvering, I was worried about breaking a wire or fuel line too.
I was able to get everything apart and I'll go back to it this weekend. I'm thinking about dropping the spare tire and removing the whole filler neck and then installing the tank. A blessing in disguise is that a wire from my spliced pig tail came undone. Not sure if I just pulled it out or if I did a [censored] job installing it. They went from a 2x2 connector to a 1x4 connector on the newer models I guess.
Anyways, tomorrow is Friday.
Have a good weekend everyone.
