Thanks for the video, lots of help. Just a point to make out, I used a 15mm 1/2" drive deep well and it was deep enough to reach the tank strap nuts the 3/8" drive is what you used. Thanks again!
My truck is in great shape for my area and has extremely low kms but yet the underneath of yours makes mine look terrible. Your truck is in really good condition body wise sir!
great work , I changed few of these and Silverado's, Fords are worse at it i found the best way is raise the bed you be done in about hour and half . At 300.00 to 400.00 i change about 5 day . Garage stays busy these make you money changing them out . Once you do it 3 or 4 times you be doing these in no time . make sure you got snap on anyway that what we use . great video
Thank you I will be doing mine soon. I especially learn about the fuel line clips thanks to you. I don’t think I have that push in fuel line clip that connects to the fuel pump. I will have to check. Hopefully if I don’t I can find it.
Fantastic video. None of the lift the bed off or cut a hole in the bed nonsense. I am probably going to have to do my 2004 since my crank time is growing unless I leave the ignition key to the on position for few seconds before cranking. I have long socket extensions and 3/8 impact wrench for the strap bolts. No rust, I live in Phoenix. Since I have no friends I work alone. I would help you out anytime. If you need help with other projects let me know...after 15 years I pretty much know the Ram...
Thank you very much. I watch some of those bed removal videos as well and found it to be an unnecessary task. I'm in North Phoenix and would certainly welcome a pair of extra eyes and hands with some of the work. I don't do the videos as much as I would like to because of the time and effort it takes to record while doing the work and the editing.
You're welcome. Just keep in mind that the job is a lot easier/safer when using fuel tank lock ring tool. I got mine from Amazon for $20 "yoursme 6599". Best of luck.
I just did mine and a deepwell socket will fit with a 10" extension But this is a nightmare when you go to put the tank back in and reconnect the fuel line i have an '06 ram 1500
Bro its people like u who trigger my ocd just remove the truck bed leave the tank in place just remove the bed its only 6 bolts holding it down 3 on each side and u gona have to remove the tail lights pick up the bed pull it back far enough so u can see the fuel pump on the tank just un do just the pump assembly the wires and hose to trust me bro its a huge time saver
I’m aware it’s been a while but have gig replaced with aftermarket or OEM pump? I’m debating whether it’s worth the $250 for OEM. If you have an aftermarket has it lasted or would you have preferred OEM? Thank you.
Jennifer Zepeda, I'm very sorry but I'm not a mechanic nor have I ever charged for my work. It's a hobby of mine. I would be more than happy to give you my mechanic's info.
@austinrawlins9099 if you're referring to the fuel line retaining clips, they come in a pack with black and white clips at AutoZone. Dorman Fuel Line Clip 800-023. Hope this helps.
@che: I didn't empty the tank. Since most cars have anti-siphon valves and trying to force anything could possibly cause damage, I used a 4x2 to distribute the weight on a floorjack and a helper to keep it from rolling to the sides. Once on the ground with the pump out, I was able to siphon most of the gas out.
If you are're referring to the lockdown metal ring "Mopar 4721916AA Fuel Tank Pump Lock Ring" you can find it online for about $25. Part numbers can vary depending on year and model
@@777-h6d the fuel line has two size press down clips and you can either get them from dodge or at Autozone for $5 a set that comes with boyh sizes. "Doorman Fuel Line Clip 800-023"
Etheus, I went to O'Reily's and got a "Dorman OE Solutions Fuel Line Connector Clip" Part #800-023 and it came with both the 5/16 and 3/8" clips. Don't remember the specific location of each now. But the size difference makes it easy ro guess. The 45° angled edge on the clip legs have to face the end of the hose and the 90° yhe other way. This makes it easier to push-lock the hose and MOST IMPORTANT prevents the hose from coming loose.
you will still net to lower it full because the tank has an anti-siphon/roll-over valve. If you don't have a transmission jack then make a jig wit 4x2s to hold the tank in place on a floor jack by removing the saddle and securing your jig with bolts and wide washers. If you have two jacks and a couple of friends to help you then you it would make it much easier. Best of luck and needless to say, be very careful when working with a full tank of gas and make sure you use the gas pump lock removing tool. I got mine later for working on other dodge/Chryslers that I have and it makes the removal and install of the lock ring much simpler.
Mike Woz, you are absolutely right. Anyone without any automotive experience nor the time and patience, should not attempt this task. Plus, you have to be prepared to take it in anyways if this doesn't fix your problem
@Don Quixote I am tech and repair business owner as well and I disagree. They will rarely, if ever look as clean and everything will fight. Plus chances are you will break something, the lock ring will be rusty and fight like crazy even soaked with penetrating oil. It is one of those jobs that people usually call me halfway stuck because something broke. Most jobs look easy until you start wrenching. Didn't he attack windmills? LOL
Dear K Derby, I apologize if my video didn't include whatever part of the process that you needed. For future reference, please let me know what you were looking for.
The fuel tank is plastic and I found no sediment inside. I did get some dirt inside there, that I removed with a clean rag and whatever remaining fuel was in the tank. The way the fuel pump sits inside that bottom assembly part with its builtin strainer, there's no way any sediment will get to it.
Thank you, you are the only one that shows how to disconnect that damn hose. Thank you so much.
You made that look simple, great “how to”. Thank you. Now I’m to replicate your work but I suspect hurdles.
Thanks buddy doing this to my 05 dodge later today . Changed fuel pumps before but this video makes it easy and straightforward with confidence 👌
Got a fuel pump from a local pull a part n they sold me a broken pump and refused to give me a refund . So to autozone I went an got one for 150

Props for making this video for us, shops wanted $750 to $950 for this job with a new pump.
I'm glad it helped.
Your video is straight forward no BS just get it done quality. 👍I'm gonna do my fuel pump and you answer all my questions. Thanks

I have replaced the tank both ways on these trucks. It is easier to drop the tank than lift the box.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience with the community.👍

lol 😂
Did you put a little hatch in its place for future work...LOL? (BTW, I was initially considering the same).
Makes a difference if your truck is a pos or not. You can tell this one is nice and clean. I would imagine yours is nice and rusty.
Would you happen to know the part number on that clip that you replaced?

My local Dodge dealer
Is there a separate fuel filter and where is it located?
Alan, there is no separate fuel filter. The fuel pump has a mesh filter built-in. Some models have separate filter mounted on top of the pump.
@@juancastro6934 Thanks, Juan. I was thinking that was the case, but I wanted a second opinion.
How do you empty the tank?

Long extension and impact gun and wah lah
What's the white thing that the other fuel hose connects to?
