Chevrolet Silverado Small EVAP Leak / Fuel Pump Remove & Replace
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2015
- In this video you get to come along and watch as I replace the fuel "module" (aka: fuel pump) in this 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. Last week I took a look at this vehicle for the customer to diagnose the EVAP leak and found it to be leaking from the top of the fuel module (due to rust, go figure..) Lets get started!
Wanna see another video on this truck?

Most dialed in mechanic Ive ever seen. Love watching his stuff.
THANKS!
Thanks so much Eric. On my way to the parts store to pick up a new fuel pump assembly for my 08 Silverado, and you probably saved me an extra trip for a lock ring… I’ll grab one while there. Just discovered your videos, and color me impressed. One tradesperson to another, you are an excellent journeyman/teacher. Please keep up the great work and continue educating us home mechanics that are trying to save a few bucks in labor. I generally don’t subscribe to channels, but I subscribed to yours, you’re my 3RD subscribe… EVER!
oh yeah this guy is one of the absolute best mechanics I've ever seen
Yes, he makes everything look too bad easy.
No hes not
@@micdiva easily is
Sure is one of the best. Reason I just subscribed. Explains clearly through the whole process and mentions tools and methods for making repair go more smoothly. Good sense of humor as well.
Your video's are among the very best on You Tube Eric - Thanks!
1954BJohn YW Thanks :)
Another great video, clear, concise, and excellent production value. Nice glasses.
When I did my fuel pump, for the same reason, a few months ago the top of the tank and lock ring was as dirty as this one. A tool that came in handy for the lock ring was the OTC 6599 Universal Fuel Sender Lock Tool. That tool with 1/2 inch breaker bar enabled me to very easily spin off and tighten the lock ring.
Sandbag1300 I actually have one of those tools... oh yeah and you like the glasses huh haha
Welcome to South Main Auto Vehicle Repair and Performance Upgrades via Weight Reduction! Because we remove a lot of rust and dirt when we fix your vehicle!
The first SMA video I ever watched. Brings a tear to my eye.
Awwww 😥
Both "OSHA approved 5 gallon bucket" and "As always at South Main Auto safety 3rd" made me literally laugh out loud...good stuff. You da man Eric.
A LITTLE pry bar, a air hammer and rust. the perfect video ! :) Great video as always .
***** Haha my kinda work :)
I really enjoy watching and learning car repairs. You do an awesome on explaining the steps
I fight with connections more than anything. Explaining the connectors and how they work helped me tremendously! That's the one thing other videos fail to do.
Saw your dog in the background , sitting in your chair . Watching you do the work .
Apparent who runs the shop ! :-)
God bless
Wyr
Just need to get a little bar to pop the drive shaft off. Comes back with a 4 foot semi-truck prybar. lol.
***** 5' sir....
+DJDevon3 I thought the same thing.....5'? same diff. lol
Alfredo Pacheco Jr Gotta respect how big a man says his tool is. If he says it's 5' then it's 5'. :P
I had to laugh at that as well.
My thought exactly...lmao
I can remember what a pain the rust was when in lived in Vancouver BC Cars would evaporate before your very eyes. Now I live in Vegas there is never any rust on anything I have a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer and it is completely rust free. I recently did a brake job on my truck and my brake lines looked like new.
Congrats for 11K+ subscribers in 10 months! You make great vids, thanks!!!
Awesome 👍 - right on about the prop shafts not needing a specific position , ha your the first master tech that did not mark the position. Also the two piece shafts are balanced independently and assembled with the centre hanger just prior to install, they are not shipped to the assembly plant in one assembly with the centre hanger . Lots of trany, wheel bases , and axle combos make it easier to do at the factory. Been a while since I put prop shafts on the trucks at GM but all the shafts do not require any orentiation. As you noted it's the cleaning of the contact points that most miss that cause a driveline vibration. Ha I still have guys telling me to put wood under my batteries stored on a concrete floor to prevent a discharge. Man you make the pump install look so easy but for a guy in the driveway get prepared to put a lot of money in the cuss jar :)
+Steve Rob Funny you mention the battery myth is still around. I still hear it as if batteries haven't advanced in the last 90 years.
I also told someone how hard it was to replace a fuel pump assembly. They went and bought 4" hole saw and cut a hole right over the pump. Then installed a stainless steel plate over the hole. As some car makers actually do to gain access to the fuel pump. He was happy as a geeky child for his ingenuity. As it had taken a total 1.5 hrs for him to replace and 5 breaks included.
Claude Rains nothing wrong with that,the pump got changed and buddy saved a fortune Awesome !!
+Claude “Reviews4U” Rains Funny you mention that, my sister's 2000 Impala has an access hole in the trunk :) Just had to pull the pump because of that drinking straw look a like that joins the pump and fuel lines together. It wiggled it self right off! Chevy and other auto makers should have kept that as a convenience.
+Steve Rob When are you Canucks going to learn how to spell CENTER.
SATAMAN Schmidt Ha I like a guy with a good sense of humour,you crack me up. Your just perfect for an idea I got hatching for an upcoming channel . ILL put you front and centre :)
In response to the rear axle vent hose comment, I personally asked a former GM drivetrain test and design proofing technician / engineer about that. He said that in the mid 90s they located the vent hose up higher on the off road package trucks (ZR2, ZR5, etc) compared to 2wd and non off road package 4x4 trucks. Then in the midst 2000s anything 4x4 the vent ran up higher than 2wd, and in the last few years all the trucks 4x4 and 2wd all have the vent hose in the same place soley for ease of assembly and fewer different parts at the factory
Another great job and video. I enjoyed watching. Love your laid back shop dog.
Eric you saved me the cost of a fuel tank on my Canyon. I live in NE Ohio and my fuel pump rusted to death. The ring was so rusted that I thought I wouldn't get it off, but your air hammer trick (and a LOT of penetrating oil) got it off after almost an hour of hammering and soaking.
You do good work and give excellent tips. Thanks a LOT!!
Hey man big thanks to ya for making this vid. I live in northern Michigan and changed the fuel pump on my 2000 Tahoe and this vid was a huge help. Especially using the air hammer to loosen things up. I don't think I would have had the balls to have tried that but holy crap did that save the day. I owe ya a beer or six.
Thanks,
Jay
Absolutely 💯 on point just used this video and completely removed my first fuel tank. Didn't have a air hammer but I improvised and got the lock ring off without damaging the tank tabs.
Thank you for this video and the many more that I will check out for sure!!
Hey Dr,loved that shot from above when you blasted the dirt off the tank. And thumbs up for Hanna!
Nick Nicu Yeah it was expensive renting the helicopter but we got it
Hey Eric, If you can do more vids. with Small EVAP Leaks Using the smoke machine. Especially these gm Trucks. Thanks
Love it, “safety third”. Great channel, learnt a ton watching his channel.
Wow!!! an EVAP leak at the fuel pump... I never would of thought... I can imagine that conversation with the customer :)
Stanley Hill Yeah well I hate being the grim reaper but it is what it is ya know.
He game me an idea where to look next. I have a problem with a Hyundai Elantra wish has biting my ass up
Had to replace exactly the same pump on my 2014. Lots of salt up here in Northwestern Ontario.
Most excellent video. Thank you
Great video. My van needs the fuel pump changed again. I have to get a new tank and another fuel pump. It damaged 2 pumps in 2 months. The mechanic suggested getting a new tank. But l do like the van, so, l have no choice. Is a 96 1500 Chevy high top convertion van, and the pump is exactly like the one on this Silverado you are working on..
you're video helped me change out a fuel pump (module!) on my 02' Silverado, thank you so much! I'm lucky I live in a dry climate where I didn't have to deal with the rust issues :)
Good vid!
Had to do the same procedure few months back on my Sierra. I pulled the box on mine and found it easy!
Nothin worse than changing a good working pump because of rust... when i installed my new one i coated the whole top of the new pump with black rocker/stone guard. Hopefully that will keep the rust at bay...
Nice to have a helper. I was like wtf, thats not Vanessa. lol
You really don't see many women in technical stuff. I know one female engineer, and one electrician and a quality engineer/metalurgist And where i live is pretty much the last remaining concentration of the UK's engineering and manufacturing.
A laid back shop dog is good. My mates dog chews his tools and trys to eat nuts and bolts when hes working on his old BMW.
zoidberg444 Yeah, we need to see more women as mechanics and stuff.
The dog making itself comfortable on the chair was hilarious!
I'm so old I remember when U joints and control arms had zerk fittings.
I can relate to that! wasn't that grand?
Your doing good man. I love the quality workmanship and video production.
+wyattoneable Thanks!
Just stumbled across the first video with Hannah in it! "She is camera shy" oh how times changed though 😂 was not long before she was putting Eric in his place.
I wish we could get a compilation video of his "whoas" that would be awesome.
+matthewq94 Hahah WHOA!
I wish people could do that nice and easy and know what there doing down here in texas I wish I could do it my self so I can know I did a good job!! thank you for showing us a great job thank you
Eric did this video in 2015. I watched it in 2021. Eric gave it 6 more years to do. By my math that pretty good looking Chevy truck is headed for the "Krusher" right now. Thanks for Sharing!
Briansmobile actually tilted the box without any damage. Quite impressive. I would love to see a door in the bed or cab floor. I guess that would be too easy for engineers to do. Engineers and mechanics gotta get together for coffee.
nonayou damnbusiness Haha it would be a first fight!
This video helped me trace down the evap leak. Got a smoke machine, found same problem on my truck! Bad pump-rotted out. Thanks!
Wow! Your vid was downloaded today, and had 875 views before noon!! You are youtube royalty, Sir Doctor of O! His Royal Repairer of Machines! Thanks for another great video!!
P.S. It's not the number of videos, it's the quality! and you certainly do make quality videos!
roadkill5333 Haha well I am glad you enjoy them :)
Great job Eric and glad to see that it went very well for you. Take care...
stuzman52 Thanks Terry :)
November 2020..... here I am using this video to fix my own 2013 Silverado. Thanks for the insight and advice!
Glad to see you wearing those glasses, while watching your videos there's not much for me to do except worry about your safety! Do what you want off camera.
binnsh Worry wart!
Great video. Thank you! I have been driving with the engine light on and a 0442 code for a couple of years due to the high price of the pump. Your video helped me get it done. I hadn't planned on dropping the driveshaft but after watching your video it made perfect sense.
Yes sir , get it right out of the way!
Very helpfull!...my frame was so rusty my mechanic wouldn't replace my fuel pump module....the truck flexed when brought up on the lift....i used a 6.8 amp Milwaukee shear to make a hole in the bed....replaced the pump n the main gas line on the tank....i had problems getting the ring off...to make sure there was no sparks I drilled holes in the ring till it busted loose....i'm 60 now n don't even change my oil anymore...but i had to make this happen....soon my 4runner is coming...thanks again!
Another great vid. I see you have a production assistant now. Help with moving the tank, "hook up that air hose..." You're going uptown! LOL.
Randy Condran Haha you got it :)
My son (Eli, he's 6) and I were watching this while putting some lego's together. We have skipped back to 5:21 about 57 times now. Funny stuff! I'm just getting into this trade and SMA has been my night school lately. Thanks Teach
You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Liam Muhammad instablaster =)
@Rodney Edward Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Rodney Edward It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
@Liam Muhammad Happy to help =)
Too bad that U-joint didn’t have a grease fitting on it. I’ve dropped needle bearings from inside of those U-joint caps after removing them to pump grease into the inside of the fitting. Nice straightforward job with a couple of useful shortcuts. Thanks for the video. On my ‘99 Tahoe, there is a fuel filter external to the in-tank filter which owners are advised to replace every 30,000 miles. I neglected to change mine until 63,000 miles and only did it as routine maintenance.......it was almost completely clogged with black crap. Glad I did it. Dr. K.
You mark the shaft in relation to the yoke for one simple reason. In our business, if anything can go wrong it will. If it came in not vibrating then I put it back exactly like it came in just to eliminate one more possible reason why my boss can say that a customer complaint is my fault.
Oh yea and we want more Mrs O to because she's awesome sauce!
Thank You for posting this video. It was very helpful to know what to expect, to look for, and how to remove connections. 😁
That’s the cleanest vehicle I’ve seen you work on. Good job 👍
what an excellent workman ship qualities Mr. O always thinking and waiting what the next one will be of a video so could learn more and what a little bar u used LOL thanks for sharing and good info as always.
j georges Hey you should see the big bar haha
Amazing your work to detail and the extra mile that you do you my friend have a new subscriber watched 2 videos I'm hooked best mechanical work I have ever seen 😎👍👍
I'd relocate from England to Avoca just so I would have Eric O could take masterful care of my Cars needs! You are a gem, sir !! :-)
I just used this video today. Thank you!
Another fine job. I own a '99 GMC and bet a new fuel pump is in my future very soon indeed.
Stephen Malone Now your prepared!
Loved Sheba in her own swivel chair supervising!! Take care. Doug
Good job Hanna . Eric's new nick name is " Ivan the Hammer Putski " my favorite polish wrestler
Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. Outstanding!
Now that's a man's statement...pulls out the 5 foot crow bar and calls it the "little bar"! Right on man, glad to see you got the kiddos helping out, they may not realize it now, but these are memories for a life time! Nice to meet you Hanna! Keep the great videos coming!
TheTexasCoder 5' is a little bar right?
South Main Auto Repair We call that a Texas Tooth Pick :)
Always amazes me with all the engineers that these huge companies employ why they cant see some of the problems before hand.
Coming from someone who's had a shard of splintered metal stuck into my eye, glasses are a hassle but man the pain and cost of removing metal from your eye is bad, to say the least. The bad thing is when they pull it out the salt from your tears run into the little hole left from the shard, and the pain is almost unbearable.
I still forget to put on glasses sometimes, I just keep several glasses around the shop just to try and remember, The memory of the pain always help, it was many years ago, but the memories are still fresh.
Charles Miller Ouch.... man you just hit me right in my feels Charles....
The metal was a bad thing, I was driving in 4 penny case harden nails into concrete walls, putting up wood strips for dry wall, and my boss thought I wasn't going fast enough, so he pulls out his hammer and starts driving the nail from a side angle, not straight on. A piece broke off and stuck me right in the eye, I went straight to the hospital, it was sticking out just enough to catch my eye lid every time I blinked my eye, so I was a bloody mess by the time they pulled it out, 3 weeks of recovery. Hey but I did get a cool eye patch..and a new job.
Your job is dangerous, you may not think so cause you know what your doing, but your eyes can not be replaced and just how would you aim a gun if you lost one.
I hear ya loud and clear.... just tell me one thing... you did talk like a pirate when you had the patch right?
Oh heck ya...Probably my one and only chance.When I was in welding school.....I was welding in a booth practicing my 7018 Dc, vertical 3/4 inch plate, and I happened to notice in my welding helmet that I could actually watch my friend behind me in the booth, it was a mirror kind of, so I watched what he was doing. Well later that night when I got back to the house, my eyes were on fire, like a hot poker was inserted into them, went to the hospital, this time I wore 2 patches for, around a week, Thankfully no real damage. Graduated welding school top of the class...and never welded for a living.That was 1973.Lesson Learned.....Mind Your Own BusinessI still have the same Helmet........42 years old, and works great.
I swear Charles you have some of the best stories lol. I remember putting on sunglasses one day and watching my dad weld for a while.... well you can imagine how I felt that night lol. I learned a few things that day. 1 was when your dad tells you not to do something..well listen. 2 there is a difference between a really bright blue light and UV rays. 3 watching a pretty blue arc hurts like hell and it is a pain and itch you can't escape...
I don’t care what they say or say about you Derrick I think you’re a hell of a guy keep up the good work
this is relatable for my wife, son and I! great video! Keep up the videos! if you see this, please reply back!
Great work, Eric! Just replaced a seeping gas tank in my old MPV...it's on the third one now!! Fuel "module" is still 26-year old original, with a fresh pump just to be safe lol. I promise to swing by your shop and grab hose dusty video files one of these days. Got my ass kicked his week by a crank no-start "Acura from hell"...look for that case study to be up soon!
motoYam82 Wow a crank no start that was hard!?
South Main Auto Repair I finally beat it into submission today...DAY 4 of the diagnosis. Makes our camshaft-twisting Hyundai look like a walk in the park lol no joke :) Part 1 should be up tonight!
Thanks for the great vid Mr Eric O.
Wow eric you work fast you did a great good job i like watching your video picking up more idea 🇵🇭🇺🇸
LOL OSHA APPROVED BUCKET! I installed commercial doors and hardware for a fairly large union contractor. After several years of standing on a plastic bucket the safety director visited the site I was installing doors on. He informed my superintendent that I was violating OSHA regs! I spent the next weekend creating an OSHA compliant bucket complete with handrails, outriggers, a step and a tie off point. I placed it in the safety directors office early on Monday morning. It sat in that corner for several years! As a bonus, the next week I took possession of my very own, brand spanking new 4’step ladder that didn’t squeak, not even once!
Cracking the drive line nuts was the best part so far?Awesome there South!
Safety glasses brah! Excellent vid!💯
Great info...Gonna be changing out my module in the morning. Best video. Thumbs up SMAR
Great, detailed, video.
Thank you!
"money light" lol thats a good name for it
MarloStanfield767 Never cheap when it comes on it seems
An OSHA approved 5gal. bucket. Love the subtleties. You the man Eric.
Eric, another great video.. Keep em coming...
I worked on the Oldsmobile assembly line for 6-months at the "engine drop." We built one car every 40 seconds. An assembler, next to me, would grab a RANDOM driveshaft from the shipping container and install it, right after the engine was dropped into the frame. No attempt to "match" it to the axle nor to the transmission. The Olds was a "big" car but the shafts were tiny compared to this truck shaft, thought it is clear they weighed about the same.
Nice job sir. Been chasin down a PO-442 in '03 Corolla. Thought I had it good, but after 170 miles came back. Checked the 2 solenoid/valves, replace rusty over-fill valve gasket and of course the fill cap. Pretty rusty around my fuel sender unit as well. Guess I need to invest in a smoker, $100 on Amazon.
Nice job & vid...as usual!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2010 sierra with the same problem. One of these day I get to repair. Lucky me
Nice video - aerial shots and all. Gotta love a shop dog, they only react to the noise of their food bowl! It still bugs me to toss a working fuel pump when the "module" is shot.
Corky C Yeah I hated chucking it to but what ya gonna do?
good job sand bag. ive been bitching about the non glassware for awhile. and he looks frickin intelligent as hell with those on
I love it, "line had to be a weeny" so funny!!!
I pulled the bed on my Ranger when I replaced the fuel pump. Didn't want to mess with the straps and bolts holding the tank because of the amount of rust on them. Lisle makes a cheap tool for removing lock rings for fuel tanks. Just needed to remove the bolts and tip the front of the bed up and back so that I had access to the fuel pump.
Upallnight Yeah the rangers are nice with the box bolts right in the bed too
It is very nice that Europeans do not usually make replaceable U-joints ...Usually you have to replace the whole drive shaft.
Temlertti Ouch that is spendy I bet
Awesome! You actually made it look so easy that I could do it! (We all know I can't!) I had the "money light" come on the other day (P0455), and I cleared the code and we'll see if it comes back. If so, I just hope it's the purge valve or vent valve solenoids, but with my luck, well...you know.
If you think a fuel pump/lock ring looks pretty bad on an 09 in 2015, I just did my girls 08 in 2021 lol. The fuel supply line had rusted completely through and getting the vent line off was a pisser. The lock ring though was the bane of my existence.... Penetrating fluid once a day for a week, air hammered the piss out of it, bought a lock ring tool and used my 1/2" impact to beat on it until I rounded the tool out. I finally got that damn thing off though. Tank strap bolt just spun in it's hole, tank strap disintegrated when I try to put leverage on it. Had to use my angle grinder to cut the bolt and my air hammer to punch the rest of the bolt and nut up through the tube on the frame. I told her I'm never working on it again and she needs to get a new truck.
Everybody complained when they made the field pump module out of plastic now they're metal That's a problem honestly the plastic ones are better just break the lines off the top Drop the tank Fish the broken pieces out of the fuel lines Unscrew the seal ring off the top of the plastic tank nothing rusty Point the bed Yes for guys That don't have a transmission Jack And a lyft😢 I've been working on cars for 25 years in California I really Have a high respect for you guys in the rust belt There's no old cars on the East Coast
Awesome video Eric, nice to see girls in the shop too in the U.k it's very when I went collage out of a group of nearly 30 boys there was just 1 girl it would be good to see more in the industry. So good work Hannah! And Eric remember you keep posting, I'll keep watching!!
Gylan Underhill Yep Hannah is a great little worker and saves a tremendous amount of time for me
@19:14 "Watch your face"
I don't squint anymore when I hear this... Too used to being on the other end of the camera. I'm really gonna get it when someone standing next to me says it...
And as long as I remember to do so, I anti-seize almost everything. Once a rusty bolt has been reinstalled without it, and re-rusts into place... it AIN'T NEVER coming back out in one piece.
I'm looking forward to going back at a automotive shop I'm not doing no more side work for people because they run out and it be light weight stuff I refuse to do be stuff unless the vehicle is at a shop.
I had to do this on my 2004 a few months ago. Luckily I had the luxury of removing the bed which made it a bit easier.
Great video Eric! That baby pry bar did well....
arcdraw Yeah... it's small but it worked ok I guess
Cool video, this was like watching a full on show.
Thanks for making this video!
I usually spray the ring with some kroil or pb blaster. Works on 20yo fords!
Great neat job Eric O 👍🏻
Same deal with my 2011 silverado got 220k flawless miles until now it extendo cranks unless you key it up it's about to let go frame is beautiful on her so looks like my rusty Chevy is getting a pump I'm glad it's a returnless fuel system one lest rusty quick connect to fight thanks for the content sma
I wish I had a helper as nice as you do treat her right we need more mechanics that are worth there salt
What a great video! I think I might have the same problem so plan on bringing my Escalade in shop soon for same repair. Mine came from Rhode Island and is a 2010 model. Only questions, was it not needed to replace the evap canister while your underneath the beast? Again, great detailed video.
Don’t have a Chevy or a evap /pump problem (that I know of)just looked interesting & for all I know that’s something I need to look at. 1996 3.4L,V6 Toyota 4Runner 2X4 sr5.pops was a.salsman & I took woodshop in high school.hindsight is 20-20.been stepping outside of my comyzone on repairs lately.& don’t nescisarily have proper tools,BUT,learning alot as I go ,acquiring tools as I can afford them, borrowing some here and there in the meantime.getting a 18$ scan toolfrom Amazon.think it will help big time.been diagnoseing blind between trips to parts shops /repair shops .had to do all this.the. My local shade tree guy moved. I don’t know any one that I trust or can afford. I’m getting there. Good video. You make things look easy. I know this is an old video but maybe you’ll see this. I’ll subscribe. Hope it helps a little. Hey to Anna
I watching you use the air hammer to loosen the snap ring. When you blew the dust away, I sneezed 🤧 😃😄
