Let me tell you my friend your video is loaded with details and information starting with how you manage to manipulate your camera in tight spaces to show us a clear view of each part needed to be removed e.g. the ground cable where is attached, all the lines, Plastic connector etc. You really are in a higher level among others here on TH-cam with extreamly clear footage. Thank you For this masterpiece of do it yourself video.
I was thinking ( on my old beat up work truck), just cut a square of the sheet metal ( bed liner) just above the pump. Then use self tapping screws and some sheet metal to overlap the square. God bless
@@ricardolomeli225 take the bolts out of the drivers side and loosen the passenger side. Unplug the rear lights. The u pickup the driver's after u unbolt the filler neck. The tank and pump are on that side.
I seriously considered doing that on both of my trucks when I had to remove the beds to access them, it is acually not that difficult to do and the pump is right in front of you. GM seems to like building trucks around the most functional parts - no rad cap or drain petcock, distributor/wiring hidden in bell housing, crank position sensor buried etc.
Hey man does your truck have a high stall ?, have you done any videos or do u no of any parameters need changing to accommodate a medium stall I’m thinking in Trans and Tcc pressure (apply ramp) may need tweaking?? Cheers
Jesse Kay I don’t have a high stall torque converter yet, was thinking of waiting until I had a 4L80e conversion done before buying one but we’ll see, it’s on my wish list for sure. Will have one sooner or later.
Sometimes you just have to hate when everything is made of plastic. In some cases it lasts dang near forever, and others it becomes brittle and snaps. I guess you can probably just buy the cheapest fuel pump assembly there is if you plan to gut the pump out and install your own anyhow. I'm not sure what the quality of the off brand pumps, fuel sender's are, but for your application it's probably fine. Also yes, tilt or removing the bed is generally way easier than crawling under and dropping tank. If you have an engine hoist you can strap the 4 corners of the bed and lift it up with engine hoist really easy. Practically a one man deal with that, the only thing that can happen is bed can slide into the cab and may dent/scratch something, but another person helping or doing it carefully and it's not a problem.
silentbravo yep annoying to have to buy a whole new assembly due to brittle plastic. But yeah I just bought the cheapest fuel pump assembly I could find on Amazon because I won’t be using the pump from it anyways. Should be here tomorrow so I’ll work on putting it in on the weekend. And yeah next time I’ll try the bed tilt method, I don’t have an engine hoist yet but will need one at some point, don’t imagine this 5.3 will live forever
The metal clip that suppose to keep it tight wasnt allowing it to create a vaccum leak ..i put a heavy duty zip tie on the clip to keep it pushed in ..and it fires up everytime
Mine is actually just an adapter that goes on to a regular floor jack, I’m in Canada so I got this one but I’m sure there would be something similar available in other countries: www.princessauto.com/en/transmission-adapter-for-floor-jacks/product/PA0008667891
Good video man, I have to replace the pressure line that comes from the pump rotted out of course even though the truck was heavy undercoated. Gm brake lines and fuel lines suck
Just saw your other video and it mentioned your in Alberta, what part are you from? And I'm about to start my turbo build this spring so I'll be watching quite a few of your videos
@@Speed_Therapy Check out Bullshitkorner, he is also in Alberta and heavily into mechanicals, does a little of everything and good detail of what he's doing. He just did an LS swap into his Jeep and tweeking it at the moment
Had to do the brakelines on my ford too, they all corrode covered in salt - I replaced with stainless steel lines though, mfrs could have done that to begin with
C'mon man, you edited out the good parts like as you cursed the Engineer's who designed this shit or for no access to the fuel pump. I just had my old truck fuel pump go out & the shop said $975..... So I've got a friend cutting an access to replace it. Nice truck

Thank you for this video sir, your hard work helped me in my similar issue!

Yes that is definitely an option that would work
way easier to tilt the bed to remove the pump
Jason Baker never thought of that, that would be easier for sure.
I cant get the bolts out😭
Wondering about making a door.
Tilt bed toward what side
@@ricardolomeli225 take the bolts out of the drivers side and loosen the passenger side. Unplug the rear lights. The u pickup the driver's after u unbolt the filler neck. The tank and pump are on that side.

What size wrench do you need to take the bolts off of the frame of the car I mean the truck
Good work. Very informative video.

I guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Tommy Graham i dunno try flixportal. just search on google for it :P -danny
@Danny Hugh Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !!
@Tommy Graham Happy to help xD
Does the 2000 silverado 5.3 have a check valve in that fuel pump assembly ..mine has to be primed to start
Need to check fuel pressure, simple to screw guage onto schraeder valve on fuel rail
Yes it does. Had to prime mine too.. 4 turns. Get a delphi
Fuel pressure regulator not seated properly
@@taronhowell2523 not seated properly?under the hood on the driver side right? Did you smell gas?
The metal clip that suppose to keep it tight wasnt allowing it to create a vaccum leak ..i put a heavy duty zip tie on the clip to keep it pushed in ..and it fires up everytime
Where can I get a transmision jack just like yours?

@@LowbuckLS thank you so much
Good video man, I have to replace the pressure line that comes from the pump rotted out of course even though the truck was heavy undercoated. Gm brake lines and fuel lines suck
its the salt not gm, blame goverment
Thanks for the helpful info on the straps.
what are you using to power your new pump? wiring in a new wire and relay that's triggered by the exiting power wire? hope your next vid covers that.
Randy Richardson yes that my plan exactly, run some 10 gauge wire that’s switched by a relay controlled by the old fuel pump wiring.
Please use social media if you wish to regale us with tales of your children.

You didn’t show how to remove any of the lines...
thanks bro
Great video

Didn’t think it was necessary to take the eBay canister out. Only the straps and neck and ground

How did that work out? Wanting to do the same.
... You skipped the only reason i came to this video... On mine, the bucket seems to be bigger than the hole in the tank, and it won't fit through...
T to u bro 👍👍👍👍👍👍
