Inspired by: • Tipped Bed Method! GM... See this youtube video for additional information about this process.
Just dropped the tank for first time myself, Helped a friend that had done the same. I will try this method next and if it's a hellian blaming you
Thanks for your video. It helped a lot. I just changed my pump today. Removing the rear wheel and fender brace made a lot more working room.
Glad it helped!
Sir, you are AWESOME!! This video alone helped SOOOOO much!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. My 2000 Silverado 1500 fuel pump died out on me right after I FILLED it up...no way was I dropping that tank!! This was a success and I thank you for the attention to detail.
Glad I could help, thank you for the comment!
Fantastic video! I wish all DYI videos were as good as this.
I've used this method twice. Tight work space but a lot easier than dropping the tank.
Glad it worked for you!
I'll follow this steps on my pump replacement soon, Thank you.
Placing the cardboard between cabin .....and the truck bed was a fantastic idea. great work. thank you.
Did this to my truck also, 2 welded nuts spun in circles ,so I used 2 - 6 inch long drills 1/8 inch & 1/4 drilled next to the bolt washer on a 30 degree angle, toward center of bolt inside of frame, then I stuck a 1/4 bolt through frame and was able to remove bolt without nut spinning, reverse this procedure to install and nut plate is re - useable. "Spark free procedure"
On the Silverado you do not have to cut any wires or remove the tail light. Behind the bumper under the truck you simply unplug the wires in question from the plugin mounted on the chassis. The same may be true for the Sierra. Check and see or watch the Silverado tilt bed method for an understanding.
Understood, I did unplug the light but had to cut the cap light wires because it was hard wired with no connector. Thank you for the advice about the location of the light connector.
@@mmercier9 yea my 03 i didnt have to cut any wires ,just unplugged them to tilt the bed,,now on my s10 i had to cut all of them
No kidding
Extremely thorough guide, much appreciated
Great video, will be doing my 2002 Silverado as soon as I buy the pump. Thanks for posting!
info was very helpful..
but the soundtrack was even better...
left rear tail light has plug in by frame on my 2001 1500 so i didnt need to remove tail light
Great video. Just might do this my self. Thanks TH-cam!!
Fantastic! Best video on the subject. Great job.
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for the video I just did the same thing to my 2003 GMC Sierra 😃😃
Great job on the video Matt. Very helpful. Thanks.

Glad I could share the experience and you found it helpful!
Cool video thanks...feel alot better about doing mine today
Yellow black is ground to fuel gauge,
purple is fuel gauge +5 volts,
grey is fuel pump +12 volts, only shows the +12 volts for 2 seconds after key its turned on.
Black is grounded to frame. In the same ground spot the fuel cap ground strap is grounded, is a short black wire that exits the Wire harness between cab and box Mine just broke here when I was changing brake line to rear, so if a pump is not pumping check this ground spot.
great info Thanks!
Thank you. This helped so much
Glad it was helpful!
Can you just loosen the fuel filter and see if fuel is leaking if you don't have a fuel pressure gauge?
Maybe not 100% accurate but could try it. Thinking you may have low pressure but fuel would flow with filter line open.

Mine doesn't. I have to assume the fuel pump has failed. Either it died or it's not getting power.
I'm going to take out the relay and see if any pole slot gets power for a few seconds after the key is turned on.
I think that's controlled by the computer.
Then I'll use a jumper wire to keep the pump powered and whack on the tank to see if I can get the pump running.
I'm dreading the job of having to drop this fuel tank. I think I have to find the tool that releases the fuel line connections. Why does every job require some kind on NASA special tool? Argggg
My friend paid $600 to have this done. I was curious what was involved. Do you worry about any sparks, arcs, static electricity, etc setting off the gas fumes? Should you ground the area somehow with a wire to prevent this?
Grounding can't hurt. Probably best to ground yourself before working in the area of the fuel tank opening. Touch see bare metal like the door latch after you approach the vehicle. It is also a good idea to remove the battery leads from the battery before servicing the tank. I live in FL so no too much static in the humid summer :)
was just wondering year your is I have a 99 Chevy Silverado BC 1500 ls try to figure out if it has two wire harnesses on my fuel pump too
Mine is a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab. Should be similar to a '99 because I think '99 was the first year for this model.

Call your local Chevy dealer give them your vin and ask if your truck was evap equipped or not, if it is, it will have the 2 wires.
it does
Great job
Awesome video!!!
Glad you liked it! :)
Thanks, glad the video was helpful... :)
One suggestion; before lowering the bed I would strongly recommend testing the unit.
music sounded like a diarrhea medley but good video. Thanks
and you did this all in under a 1 hour time frame? ...Right
Video says 2.5 hours.
Could nut had dun et wit out da musick ! Ana beear ! 🍺🍻👍😜🤪
Rock on!
what kind of bed cover is that what is the name for it
DO NOT CUT THE TAILLIGHT WIRES!!!!!They simply all unplug from a block behind bumper on drivers side......good lord.....
I did not cut the taillight wires. I cut the cap light wire that does not have a disconnect. Thank you for your comment.
What are cap wires? No such thing as a cap on a truck. It's gotta be called something else. Cab?
+marblemaker117 The fiberglass cap on the truck has wires for the interior light and brake light. These run through the tail light cavity as installed on my truck.
+marblemaker117 A friend from Pennsylvania calls it a "topper" We call it a "cap"
Great video!
music unbearable! Lol
how about now...:)
So stupid I rather undo the two bolts from the tank and call it a day
I would only recommend this if u have a full fuel tank
perfect video thanks
Thank you :)
