#Chevy #FuelPump #Gettindirtyoffroad You can save a ton of cash by doing your own repairs. Today I am replacing a fuel pump in a 1992 Chevy 2500 pickup truck.
You definitely aren't the only one getting the wrong wrenches and going under the truck then back out again a whole bunch of times. It sure can add to the frustration of the struggle. Thanks for making this video! I needed the reminder of which line was for which purpose as I had only marked one of them and didn't record myself doing it for future reference. Super grateful for your video!
@@randallanthony1794 I’m sure it can be done, the metal is pretty thin and you’d be welding right over the pump so I would be concerned with dropping slag on the pump or even causing a fire if something went weird
That hose divorce you discovered around 19min is VERY important information. I've got the same truck, a '93 with 250k on the original fuel pump. One day the idle got so low I had to do the big no-no and tighten the TBI throttle set screw. Otherwise it would die under a load, reverse, sitting at red lights too long, with the A/C on high. Had to crank base idle to 1050 just to keep it drivable (after years of purring at 700). Replaced and adjusted a lot of things which made the truck run better but never fixed the low idle, slight surging, stalling issue. Finally checked the fuel pressure today 5-6psi and lower in gear. Loses all pressure the second you cut power. Exactly what you'd expect if that little piece of hose had failed. Thanks so much for doing this job slow enough to point that out.
I’m happy to help and VERY happy you didn’t just scrap it on something so silly. I try to point out anything I find strange even if the videos get longer than they should. I appreciate you being patient enough to get to the part you waited for.
89 GM 2500- Just impacted 8 bed bolts off, unplugged taillights, impacted 3 T30 screws off fuel hose bracket & pulled box off truck. Cleaned off top of fuel pump assembly, pulled that out without disconnecting anything except power plug. Swapped fuel pump only, set assembly back in & done. Crazy simple & fast if you remove box.
So I was trying to find out from your video if the yellow electrical connector from top of the pump will come out. Looks like it is the other end of the triple wire. I tried to pry mine and it doesn't want to get loose. Now I know why. haha. Thank you for the great video and quality of the filming from different angels. Great job!
Sir your vidya is an absolute lifesaver! I’ve got the same year riggens and I’m fixin it up after sittin for 10 years now. And of course we didn’t think to to drain the fuel. So I though might as well get two birds stoned with the same joint and check the pump and clean the tank! I can’t start to tell yah how much this is Savin my arse!
Nice video. Thanks! If this truck as just been sitting for a while you want to consider rebuilding and cleaning the TBI. Kits are easy to get. Replacing the fuel pressure regulator can be done at this time. For a few more dollars you want to consider replacing the 12 psi spring with a 14 psi one; and replace the fuel regulator diaphragm with a heavy duty one. I've had very good luck with these small upgrades.
Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind for the others I have. I made a deal with a high school kid, well going to college this fall but he has driven it all over town without to many problems. I’ve helped him with a few things on it and he has learned several things to do with these older trucks. He loves the old “Frankenstein” and it’s been great getting him into the old truck life
Rubber line provide isolation from vibration that will eventually cause the copper line to work harden and fail, it might take years. Just something to consider for the future. Nice video - thank you!
Thanks, I did it and it was a pain in the ass trying to disconnect the fittings. Good thing I only had a quarter tank dropping and putting back in was the easier part of it for me.
I hadn’t put that Y pipe on yet, I have a video coming for the make it quiet lol. The young man that has the truck now seems to love it so I’m happy I saved it. Thank you for watching!
Hey Mom was it in December that I did my oil filter cooler adapter.? And it was cold and AutoZone is a block away. And the hand warmer packet I bought right before the closing of the store to get back to work on it one worked and one didn't ugh in and out from under for wrench to fit on the lines to let it drop down enough to change the gasket ugh ugh ugh ! 😂 Lol
Just drug a 93 C1500 out of a horse pasture. Pump locked up from sitting 4 years. My fuel lines are rotten so it was quicker to pull my tank out. Pair of dikes on the hard lines and then the hose clamps. I just ordered a tank and sender unit combo for $187 on rockauto along with injectors. Also brake hoses and a roll of copper nickel line. How big was that tank? My truck has a 36 gallon tank
Thanks man I have to do one this weekend.... and yes I’ll grab a hand full of wenches and crawl underneath behold not one would be the right size ... I feel your pain bro
10:51 what size wrenches are you using at about 11 minutes in? I’ve about got mine out and don’t want to slide in and out a dozen times getting the right sizes 😂
@@GettinDirtyOffRoad aye thank you 😂 I feel that I do too, always gotta go back to the box I’m just glad everything is organized and I don’t have to go back and forth while also digging around
I found one of those magnet lights you got there a couple years back in the middle of a road here in Racine, Wisconsin, but it quit working on me last year or half year ago. 😭
And where did you get a southern truck ? LOL not "very" rusty ? I have a 93 , I think same make , but black, (call it 99- her black hair -" Get Smart lol) diagnosing filter /pump, both and tank three years old. Ugh
Huh, best way, angle grinder. Cut hole in bed floor above fuel pump. Change fuel pump. Junk yard. Angle grinder. Cut good piece out of junk bed floor. Screw down over hole. Done. As “let’s go Brandon” would say, c’mon man, it’s a 92. Edit, I’ve done this several times over the years and it works just fine if the tank is good and ain’t leaking. If it’s leaking it should be replaced.
"It's gonna be complicated, just try your best." You helped my truck a whole lot. Thank you
You’re most certainly welcome, I’m happy to help out. Thank you for watching

I’m happy I could help you, it doesn’t matter if I take the whole tool box I’ll still need something else haha. Thanks for watching my shenanigans
This was probably the most helpful video out of all the other videos I’ve seen on here
Thank you, that makes me happy to hear. Thank you for watching
The idea of cutting an access panel is looking better and better
It has been done, I just didn’t want a hole in my bed
@@GettinDirtyOffRoad can it be rewelded back on if i decide to cut an access opening

Thanks for your help , I have the same truck , 8 feet bed and 34 gal tank. It’s very useful to do this job .
I’m happy I was able to help you with your project. Thank you for watching!

excellent low keyed presentation.i have to try and change a fuel pump tommorrow on a 92 gmc 1500 v8.thanks for the presentation
I’m happy I could help

Thanks for the pointer, I appreciate you watching
Fan clutch is shot,not to mention the exast!!!& your a patient man,did a good job.yeah just give it some time,it will come around!
Thank you for the feed back
I love this guy!
I’d just cut a hole in the bed, keep the piece and make lil door to keep the fuel pump easily accessible
For sure would be a faster fix
Thanks, I did it and it was a pain in the ass trying to disconnect the fittings. Good thing I only had a quarter tank dropping and putting back in was the easier part of it for me.
They are a pain, I’m glad my video was of some use to you
Did a smashing good job
New subscriber here! Your video is awesome and very well detailed, so much so that I decided to just cut a hole in the bed to replace mine lol.
🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks for subscribing I returned the favor, I’m happy I could help you decide which route to take.
@@GettinDirtyOffRoad You're welcome and thank you very much. I look forward to checking out all of your content, past and future.
@@NorthCoastT same here
Looks like no exhaust was a major benefit for accessing the top of that tank. Mine is right in the way. Nice video.
Thank you, I didn’t even realize the Benefit of missing exhaust pipe but your right
great video man! funny and informative
Thank you for watching
16:23 we'll give a medium BOOM .,. Brass ., always use brass on the fuel tank seal ., no boom
I just got me a brass punch for those kinds of things lol
Thank you for the video is that truck have open headers or you have not put the maker
Quiet thing back on
I hadn’t put that Y pipe on yet, I have a video coming for the make it quiet lol. The young man that has the truck now seems to love it so I’m happy I saved it. Thank you for watching!

On your next video can you say I sell propain and propain accessories. Only because you have the voice of king of the hill (Hank hill)
🤣😂🤣😂 Funny thing is I work in a facility that separates Propane

My tank might be a 30, sounds like you have a heck of a project
Thanks for the vid!!! About how low can you bring the tank down before it messes up the lines
They are pretty flexible so I was able to go down almost to the floor once the filler and vent were removed.
Thanks man I have to do one this weekend.... and yes I’ll grab a hand full of wenches and crawl underneath behold not one would be the right size ... I feel your pain bro
@@willhutch3338 lol every damn time haha. I’m happy I could help you out, also would not recommend the torch either🤣😂🤣😂
Customer said they have a full tank of gas I have to figure a way to store 30 gallons 🙄sooo it should be fun
@@willhutch3338 I don’t envy you at all with that 😳
muy buen video yo uses lo mismo en una 1989 extamente el mismo problema
10:51 what size wrenches are you using at about 11 minutes in? I’ve about got mine out and don’t want to slide in and out a dozen times getting the right sizes 😂
3/4 and 5/8 lol, every time I do something I get at least one size wrong haha
@@GettinDirtyOffRoad aye thank you 😂 I feel that I do too, always gotta go back to the box I’m just glad everything is organized and I don’t have to go back and forth while also digging around
@@nam3tag11q7 😂🤣😂🤣 mine is a mess and I spend more time looking for tool than using them. I’m happy I could help
sea form works good it would be easier to remove the filler neck in the middle instead of fighting it at the tank the vent hose too .
Absolutely, I’ve been using Bariman quite a bit as well. That truck is running around a college town and the kid that has it loves the thing
I found one of those magnet lights you got there a couple years back in the middle of a road here in Racine, Wisconsin, but it quit working on me last year or half year ago. 😭
That dang thing is very handy
I have 3 obs chevs and when ever I have to change a fuel pump I allways remove the box
I figured I would give that a try next time I need to as well
you Doing a Great Job So for I,am sixty three years yound
Thank you
( putting a fuel pump in the tank was definitely the worst ideal in the world!!!)
It is a pain to deal with for sure
Isn't it four or six bolts holding the bed down.
I’m not sure exactly, I think it’s six
You in Canada or northern state in US ?
Wyoming here
And where did you get a southern truck ? LOL not "very" rusty ? I have a 93 , I think same make , but black, (call it 99- her black hair -" Get Smart lol) diagnosing filter /pump, both and tank three years old. Ugh
It’s a Wyoming truck, we’ve been lucky for a long time however the highway departments have been laying salt the last several years
Oh I see now , your in Wyoming.... Right ?
Yup, we just kinda take everyone’s slang and make it our own lol
@@GettinDirtyOffRoad thanks for the video...

Not a bad option, I just didn’t wanna cut a hole in the bed. I figured I’d show this way and the next one will be another option
PLEASE GET OUT THE TANK !!!!! 5 screws!!!!!!!
I’m not sure what your saying here
No sound
It should be there
