Just some random videos I made to entertain myself or perhaps inform others. I promise I'll add a more interesting description but I'm usually pretty busy clicking "like" on photos of sick children on Facebook because from what I understand that somehow translates into making a difference.
Sioux Falls Driving 101 - Lesson 4
Sometimes you just need to predict what another driver will do, but that isn't the skill we learn in this lesson. Instead, this lesson shows you how to totally ignore any other vehicle while you pull out in traffic, because obviously if you can't see on the other side of a gigantic bus it must mean there is nothing to be concerned about over there anyway... so go for it!
Maybe I should have just hit the bus... they probably have great insurance right? This just shows you that predicting the actions of one driver sometimes isn't enough. Everyone is out to kill you. ALL. THE. TIME.

Another lesson on how to drive in Sioux Falls. This is a prime example of the skills learned as new residents acclimate to the proper way to drive within city limits. Clearly this guy is more important than all the other drivers waiting their turn, so I can understand how he had to go around them and cut everyone off as he turned right from a left-turn only lane. He probably wanted to be at the...

I'd say I witness people running red lights several times a day - it seems to be a common trait throughout Sioux Falls. From what I can gather, green light means go, yellow light means go faster, and the first 5 seconds of the red light are a lot like the 5 second rule when you drop food on the floor.... it just doesn't matter. Unless there is a cop parked near the intersection of course. In th...

2003 Chevrolet S10 ZR2 Fuel Pump Replacement 4.3L V6
มุมมอง 150K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows how to diagnose and replace a fuel pump for a 2003 Chevy S10 with the 4.3L V6. Designed for home users who don't have access to a lift using only basic hand tools and a jack / jack stands. This repair at the dealership can cost $800-$900 (the dealer wanted over $600 for a replacement Delco pump assembly not including labor to install) but the total cost to replace the pump via ...
Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much
How many miles were on your truck when the pump went?
Great question - it was so long ago I can't be 100% sure but I believe the truck had around 125,000 miles at the time. I wasn't the first owner so I can't say if it was the original fuel pump although based upon the condition of the pump and rust on the fasteners etc. I believe it was the factory pump. I believe these pumps should last at least 100k, so having 125k on the truck seems about right.
@@Phormify Ok thanks. I bought my 94 s10 new in July of 94 and my truck has 172,000 miles so I guess I am on borrowed time. Not looking forward to that work when it goes bad.
Put this back together mister.
Great video. To the point and without the b.s. that others go off the subject. Thank you!
I PLAN ON CONSTRUCTING A DOOR IN MY BED TO ACCESS THE FUEL PUMP ; HAVE LOOK AND OPERATE LUKE A GAS DOOR ONLY WITH A SEAL.
Can buy the whole unit for about a 100 bucks on eBay
Hate that all these parts come from China now , but it works so hats off , I would replace entire assembly because some of the manufacturers build them here.
On the rear bed bolts if you do not have a hitch there is a hole in the frame for a socket and extension to get through. A breaker bar works well to lossen bolts too. That is what I used.
$160 pump new at Autozone....... Crossing my fingers as well
What sized are the tires and ring? I wish someone could tell me about it
asome i did that way, much easy, thanks!
Got my pump off eBay for $42 I just have to take the pressure sensor off the old pump put on it.
Could you remove all the bolts and slide the bed back a foot or two?
That would require a bit more work to disconnect all of the wiring that is attached to the bed - so in the long run it would take a lot more time to try and do it that way.
really great video bud. as far as diy tutorials go, this is 5 stars. really appreciate the thuroughness
Thanks for the feedback - I hope you have great success with yours!
Who in GM had the great idea to put the fuel pressure port near the ignition wires...?
I've got a 2001 s-10 4.3 engine. Fuel pump went bad and I got a new one on e-bay for 36 bucks with the fuel gauge included. That was about 18 months ago. I took all the bolts out of the bed and lifted the bed up on just one side over the fuel tank. Used a 4x4 to hold the bed up. I had a little trouble clearing the fuel neck as I jacked up the corner but not much. No damage to anything. My biggest problem was trying to install the new o-ring. It was round and the old one was flatter. After about 20 minutes I just reinstalled the old ring. No worries.
i have a 2003 Sonoma ZR2 and got a new pump for $65.00 on Rock Auto
Grinding and welding over a fuel tank .
I bought a lifetime guaranteed pump assembly for 36.00 delivered from ebay
Very nice video. Thank you very much.
Helpful video, thank you. Will have this on standby when doing mine today. I wish I had known about rebuild kits earlier, and had time to wait on shipping, would have saved me a lot of money.
gm 19239667 is the number for the kit you can order from Amazon WATCH OUT FOR SHIPPING TIMES , IT COMES FROM CHINA, If anyone can find the number to order it straight from China you can get it from AliExpress for probably 10 dollars
$22 fuel pump I bought on ebay. Putting it on now and crossing fingers....
Thank you for the video I am Pedro flores I like
Well done video and Thank you. One thought,, if the frame mounted fuel filter is accessable with the bed up wouldn't it make sense to go ahead and change it rather than have to crawl around on your back to change it later?
What type is the AC Delco fuel pump you used? jaduranjr at icloud
I don't recall since it was nearly four years ago. However I just searched for compatible parts and found one on eBay if memory serves correctly.
Didn’t show putting the lock ring back on which is difficult. So thumbs down
sure a lot easier lifting the bed than taking the tank down, gravity kills you when lying under the truck!
Nice work on this video. I'm saving this one for future reference pictures. I did this job on my 03 ZR2 (nice truck BTW) without lifting the bed. Did it all from underneath. My pump hadn't died so I was able to run all but about 1/2 gallon out of the tank. There were difficult moments mostly caused by the fact that this fuel tank assembly is installed into the chassis from the top at the assembly line so some of the clamps were more difficult to get to than that needed to be but it went back together easy. Mine has a plastic tank and had very little fuel it so it was easy to handle. No jacking and no sticking my head and arms in giant mouse trap. If I had to do it again I would still do it that way but it's just personal preference. Plus my clamps and fasteners are all facing easy access directions now.
Parts are getting hard to find. Thanks great vid.
Amazon.......just got the whole replacement fuel pump assembly for my 02 zr2 for $45.
Rock autos got everything
thank you very much for your time and video 👍🏽
You might want to try 1aauto.com. I just got a new fuel pump / sending unit for a 00' Sonoma zr2 for $66.95 front wheel bearings were like $40 ea and free shipping too!
I went into a row of potholes at 25 mph, the road was covered with holes and bumps. all my light in the dash flashed, and my engine stopped working, I pulled over, everything was working battery wise, engine was cranking but no start and I wasn't hearing the fuel pump kicking in. I have all the symptoms of a bad fuel pump but my gas gauge doesn't work like yours. I have checked my fuel pump fuse, its fine. Could it be a bad fuel pump ground then ?
Sounds like an electrical failure of some sort. Could be a bad ground but if all the lights flashed it makes me think you might have other issues. You could hook up a fuel pressure gauge and see if you are getting fuel pressure when you crank the engine. If you aren't... you might be on to something so time to dig deeper. If the pressure ends up reading ok at least you eliminated the pump as the source of the problem.
I done that but no fuel pressure when I'm cranking the engine. its really weird!!! today I also notice that the shifter light in the dash (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1) doesn't work anymore. I see for exemple, the letters and the numbers, but I don't see if I'm in P, R, or N, or D.
Sounds like you may have a larger electrical problem. Could be more complex to troubleshoot but it may be a gamble to replace the pump unless you’re sure.
Did Fargo really happen or was it bullshit
Fiction.... but either way that was North Dakota where they talk funny ya bet.
Please tell me were online you got your fuel pump please .I needed it like yesterday please .I hate Walking
I ordered my pump from a source on eBay... the parts stores were all way, way more expensive.
I did my 2003 ZR2 FP from the bottom but I had almost all gas out. (notice you have 5/8 full). It was at moments difficult but I had large tool box in bed with 2nd battery in it so didn't want to go that way. I bought Delphi pump complete assy from RockAuto.com for $200. They have a few choices even cheaper but Delphi is OEM equivalent. I would never do the rebuild kit because of all the work to get FP in and out but it is a more cost effective choice. Nice looking in white. Mine's silver but paint has held up well. Well done video.
Dropping the tank isn't really anymore work if you have to deal with a tool box or a full box so sounds like you made a wise decision. I also agree buying the full assembly is the way to go for many people and can avoid having to redo the repair in the future so it can be cheap insurance.
Delphi sux. I had to replace mine after 40,000 miles ......
@@sschevmale24 Well, that's disappointing to hear. They are pricey little B*st*rds and a bit of a hassle to get to also.
@@x-man5056 maybe you will have better luck man. Try good gas and fuel treatments. I think I got Borg Warner now I cant remember !!!!!
@@sschevmale24 4 times a year with injector cleaner. Do you have metal tank or plastic?
Your video sucks so bad you do not explain anything your video says I will show you how to remove the gas pump but you haven't done that in the first 20 minutes that I was watching your stupid video you suck delete your video I Give You 1001 thumbs down
I'm sorry you don't like it, so I'll make you a deal and refund every penny you paid for your ticket to watch it.
Awesome video my man! Quick question for ya. I have same truck but 4 door. Is it still possible to tilt truck bed or do I need to pull tank from bottom? Looks like it’s more under cab than the bed. Thanks!
Will Unmisig - Sorry I really have zero experience with the four door. You might check to see if there is an access panel under the rear seat as that is fairly common in cars - so maybe you would get lucky and find something under the carpet. Otherwise if it looks like the tank is under the cab rather than the bed you might have to do it the old fashioned way and drop the tank. It can take a little longer and requires you to drain the tank before starting but it isn’t that bad.
Red Pushpin thank you for the response. After reading it looks like I’m forced to do the old fashioned way.
THE WHOLE TIME EXPLAINING HOW TO LIFT BED DANGEROUS WAY BY THE WAY
Nothing about lifting the bed is dangerous if you take the proper precautions and take your time. Working on cars - especially the fuel system - can be dangerous but that is why we prepare and learn before ever turning a wrench.
Installed new fuel pump but now gas gage don't work
If it worked before you replaced the pump I have to assume you might have a bad connection that presented itself when you disconnected and reconnected the sending unit. If you just replaced the pump itself and not the entire assembly, I suppose it is possible the sending unit is bad - or when you dropped the unit back into the tank the float might have become stuck. Hopefully you didn't put the bed back on yet so you can try a few things!
Excellent tutorial. Probably one of the best ones I've seen for this procedure. Thank you.
Hi I know this is an old video so I'm not sure if you still respond to these. My husband bought this exact kit for his 2003 Chevy Blazer S10 - just waiting for it to be delivered. How long did your repair end up lasting? We are on a tight budget and couldnt afford the 200+ for the whole new unit. Thanks for the video!
Stephanie Barry - I still have the truck and haven’t had any other problems with the fuel pump so the repair has held up extremely well. Hope it works as well for you and that it gives you years of worry-free use.
thanks for your video. it was very cold evening and after leaving the gym my sonoma didn't start. it cranked but didn't stayed on. I followed your first step and problem solved I guess it was just the relay. after 30 min stranded, found your video. thanks.
That's awesome - much better to have it be a simple relay and not the pump itself. Hope a replacement solves your problem for good.
Did you notice that when you first turned on the ignition key and tried to start the truck the fuel gauge needle slammed all the way to the left to the "E" And after you made the repairs it didn't move at all.
Henry Avery I guess I didn't notice. Not sure that would be a diagnostic test or not... it might have simply been due to a lack of fuel pressure initially. However the fuel level sensor wasn't replaced so not really sure what it would mean either way.
You might have stepper motor issues in your dash cluster.
Great information very helpful I just had to do mine on my s10 and this info. worked great thank you very much for making it a lot easier for me.
Thanks a lot, really good video
Wow! What an awesome video! Thank you so much for doing this... you have no idea how helpful this is. I really appreciate the detail and thoroughness, good camera shots at points of concern, and easy to follow explanations. This video is close to a 5-star polished presentation; hard to believe this is your first post. Although it was only a few seconds, the cameo of your assistant was icing on the cake.. too precious! You made my day... thanks again, Phormify!
what a great video!! thanks for awesome instructional tutorial... it's going to really help me tremendously!
Thanks - I really should do more of these.... people still seem to enjoy keeping these S-10s on the road.
Its so nice to actually have someone explain this clearly and with such detail... Many of the other videos I found have a lot of cussing (which I hate) and unclear information. Thanks again Phormify!!!
You bet! And that is why I made the video in the first place because when I looked I couldn't find one that showed me all the detail I wanted. There are some good videos out there but most only cover a small portion of the project or skip details I wanted to know about. I probably made the video too long and boring - but hopefully it has enough detail that would convince someone who is on the fence about doing the project themselves that they could handle it. After all - I am not a mechanic and don't even bother to change my own oil most of the time. But this was an relatively easy project and saved he hundreds from letting a shop do it. Best of luck on your replacement - hope it goes as smooth for you as it did for me.
Phormify Do you happen to know if that same repair kit will work with a 1996 Chevy S-10?
Danny Herrera I think so, but any kit you buy should give you the year ranges it covers. Better check that to be sure.
AC Delco on ebay; $110.00, no shipping. After watching the entire video and getting mine out, I realized, I didn't really need the whole assembly. Could have done it your way, (with just pump).
I've seen the same, red light runners are really bad in sioux falls
