I have seen this done another way.. they loosen the bed bolts on the opposite side.. then remove the bed bolts on the tank side and tilt the bed high enough to pull the sending unit without removing the tank.. both methods work.. can't really say which is easier..
Good job man Seems like a lot of work but it makes much easier with the right tools. I have to do the same job in my old 04 6.0 too I was thinking to lift the bed up but that's why I am finding what way will be the most easy way. Thanks for sharing the video 👌🏾
All and most aftermarket sending units oring does not fit right. I have used the old oring and it has resealed up just fine. Does not have a problem like gas orings do. 😅
how long did it take you? my 2005 6.0 has the intermittent fuel gauge problem, sometimes it works and sometime it does not.... guess i'm gonna have to do mine sooner or later. looks like a pain in the ass to do since i do not have access to a lift...... where you located, wanna do mine?
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think the gasket is angle so that the inside should be angled in and the outside up, so that when you set the fuel gauge in it presses down evenly? Maybe? I know that’s how the gasket works on the fuel filter gasket for the 7.3 so just speculating
Certainly could be all these fuel pump/sender gasket fit differently. Aftermarket stuff seems to very day to day. I personally use the original unless I don’t think it’s good enough to last
Was your reading full all the time or empty? My 03 was reading full all the time for years and now all of a sudden it reading empty so I am not sure if it sending unit or cluster or possible wiring got any ideas? Thanks

Stretch the gasket out a little or get a new green one?
I judge that on condition and fitment
How long has your truck been rebuilt what lifters did you use?
this motor hasnt been apart, but i would recommend oem ford lifters for most application.

Mine read empty all the time it’s normal for these sending units to fail
@@doug_harbaugh9476 thanks for responding now I have to figure out which sending unit I need and get it fixed thanks
Can you please post part # for sender. Thanks
i will try to find the part# but i believe there is at least 3 different tank units
he shouldn't use the old gas to get any way should he use the new
