This is THE BEST video for changing a Dakota fuel pump correctly. Thank you very much for posting it.
Cutting an access panel in the bed is the very easiest way to change the assembly. They do make a pump and inner basket kit that’s so much cheaper than an entire assembly. Thanks for sharing 😊
"you work on it and the dirt transfers to you" now the vehicle is a little cleaner, lol. Yet again awesome footage and well made video! I am looking forward to watching every video to date.
yep, as much work as I'm doing to this Dakota it will be as clean as my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee soon. 😉
what a step by step video that just about shows every step your doing .Thanks for showing your viewers the hard to get shots that needed to be seen by us. I really appreciated. It was well informed with all the info we needed to hear and see. Gotta put a pump on my 04 and you really helped me a lot. Be watching more of your videos again. Thanks..
Thank you, I really appreciate that.😎👍
Watched a few videos on this procedure and this is by far the best one. I'll take tricks and tips over fancy 4K footage any day. You'll learn more from this one than all the others combined. Thanks for doing what you do.
UPDATE: The bolts holding my bed on my 99 Dakota were rusted tight. Even after sitting in PB Blaster overnight & hitting them with heat the head on the first one snapped off. My truck has a bedliner. Took linner out, cut hole, changed pump, used some scrap & self tapping screws to put the piece I cut out back in sealed with alum duct tape, put bedliner back in. Less than 30 minutes.
Can you tell me how many ribs over you cut? I have a 98 single cab short bed
Awesome videos man, I like how you show us everything you talk about. That’s great for visual learners like me. Keep up the great work!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate that, glad you liked it.
"somebody was thinking". Those days are gone. Now they are throwaway when they needs a a vrs kit. Great video. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Probably one of the best illustrated video I’ve seen in a while. Great job and I learned a lot. Thanks.
Thank you for making this video! I just replaced mine on my 03’ R/T. It was a little different with the CA emissions evap system but common sense prevailed. Your videos are wonderful, thanks Martin you’re the man!
Thank you. I really do appreciate that. I am glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Good shit! This really is the best video I’ve seen on this! And I’ve watched a lot, looking for one thing specific. And I found it!
Thank you Brian I really appreciate that I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
@@martinbuilt it wasn’t just helpful, in knowledge (which it was) but I appreciate your format. No nonsense, no telling how peepaws old fuel pump was built better, it was good production (I’m a musician and amateur producer), great shots, clean, concise production! On top of informative! I tip my hat, all the way around good man! Keep up the good work!
The gentleman was very professional knowledgeable has a lot of experience very easy to to listen to him acknowledge his information the gentleman is is very intelligent good job
Thank you, Mario, I really appreciate that.😀
Thanks for the video! I live in the rust belt and had to replace the fuel tank straps as well as the pump. The fuel pump was easy. Getting the tank in and out...that's another story! Thanks for the great video!
You are very welcome Jim, I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
This is Mr.Martin the best teacher I have ever seen...thanks you alot 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍from Jordan
Wow, thank you 😊
Once again.... thanks Martin! Your videos always get me through the project
I just found this video and I’m gonna try and do it myself! My pump died yesterday and I need the car running asap! Will order the parts today and see how it goes!
Good jack tip Martin. I did the same thing, but bolted on a large piece of 3/4 inch plywood. Works good for transmissions also.
Always quality content. 👍
Thank you, just yesterday I made a rear axle lifting fixture that bolts to the Jack in the same manner. I'm getting ready to swap out the rear axle in the Dakota and I don't want the rotord or backing plates touching the ground.
Martin ..!! U are My New Friend ..!! I think I need to replace my fuel pump in my 2002 Dakota and U made me see what an easy job it can be ...!!! Thank U so much for going the EXTRA MILE in your precios class with all those little details for us to see My Friend ...!!! U are a great TEACHER ..!!
Thank U so Much ...!!!
far easier to pull the box, thats what i did and while box was off i cleaned the frame rails and painted up with rust converter and then chassis paint. my dakota had 358,000 miles on before the original fuel pump died, now my truck will be good for another decade of service,
Thank you for making this video and getting us the best angles my fuel line in my Dakota is leaking but it was due for a new fuel pump anyways
I just did the fuel pump on same year Dakota today and just moved the bed out the way, much easier 👍
Ah, again such an educating video. And as always, very well explained. Thanks Martin, I'll be waiting for your next one :)
Glad you liked it! 😊
Thank you from Victoria BC Canada 👍 this has given me the kick in the pants to get under my truck and fix the issue
I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful 👍 😊
Well done sir, you really made it look easy! My 2k Dakota is in the shop now for this very issue! I had no idea the fuel pump assembly was so big!
Come on sparky I love it when I get gas spewed in my face while smoking a cigarette LMAO
Thank you so much for the detailed video. I feel ready to tackle the job.
That's awesome. I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Thank you for watching.
Good to see you work on the Dakota. Can't wait to see you put in the new 3.92 gear. I looking to put in a 4.10 ring and pinion on my 2000 Dakota but I want to watch how you do it first. Got to get it right.
I am just planning on replacing the whole rear axle with one from Pic-a-Part, sorry not actually doing a gear change with set-up.
@@martinbuilt Oh bummer. I know it's tricky and gears need to be aligned perfectly.
Great video. Thank for being so thorough. Your the best martin.
My pleasure, glad you liked it. 😉
Nice job Martin,those fuel pump jobs are always fun.😂😂👍👍
yeah, that why I added that access panel to the Jeep Grand to make the job much easier.😀
I definitely remember working on my cars in the Las Vegas heat, a second set of hands would have helped you, nicely done my friend 👍😁
Thank you Dave, yeah I'm thinking about going out to pic-a-part today I must be crazy it's supposed to be a 110 they're talking about all time record high this week of possibly a 118
@@martinbuilt wow that is crazy lol
Harbor freight transmission Jack works really good for gas tanks.
Thank you teacher, your video is very perfect and very useful ❤
Thank You Sir! Getting ready to do this in my 2000 Dakota.
Glad to help 👍🙂
Excelent video, well explain, good camera shots,very knowledgeable mechanic thxs .I need to do that to my dakota.
Thank you, glad you liked it and found it helpful.😊👍
Thanks for doing these dodge Jeep Chrysler videos - there’s not much for us on TH-cam
Thanks you my 1999 Dakota has been taking a bit of cranking in the morning to fire up, if its been running and i shut it off it starts up right way agter sitting for 1/2 hours or so but any longer and it takes some cranking , i have been putting this off but you make it look like a half easy job , thanks.
Very good job in this video. I have a project coming up to replace the same fit my 1997 dode ram.
Thanks a lot man appreciate it. Very good teacher throughout
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Thanks brother for such a cool and helpful video..You are a professional!!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I am glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Thanks brother. Great vid.
Great video, as I have a 2000 Dakota and will be doing my filter soon, thanks.
Thank you, glad you liked it. 🙂
Thanks, I'm a rookie mechanic and this video will hopefully teach me to work on my truck 👍🏼
I'm glad you found it helpful 👍
Another way is to remove the bolts on the left side and loosen the ones on the right side.
They you can prop up the box and remove the fuel assembly.
I did this to my 97 Grand. ( IN THE RUST BELT ) N.E. PA. It TWAS NOT AS EASY AS YOUR'S but I cleaned the whole damn tank out also. There was some water in it & more junk than I would of thought, good thing I did. Had problems with fill hose, connectors & every freakin thing else DUE TOO WHERE I LIVE. Had to buy new tank straps also, they didn't look that bad but WTH WHILE I'M THERE. GREAT VID. AS ALWAYS MARTIN & GREAT JACK TIPS. I have a similar Jack set up & always say I'm going to buy a Trans Jack but I never do. THANKS FOR THE KNOWLEDGE.
Yeah I grew up in Iowa I know all about the Rusted out vehicles.
In one of my videos where I visited Pic-a-Part there was a rusted out Jeep Grand Cherokee and it was from Pennsylvania, I knew it wasn't from Southern Nevada.
Thank you sir. Great vid. I have a DURANGO and this helps if needed.
Thank you. Yes, your Durango will be similar to this, and this video should help.
Thanks a lot, that was so helpful thank you for your effort and time really appreciated
You're very welcome I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful. Thank you for watching.
This video was a life saver. Thanks!!
You are very welcome. I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
Excelente, Excelente, Excelente el video, muy bien explicado paso por paso. Es el mejor que he visto.
Desde Buenos Aires un fuerte abrazo
Thank you thank you thank you glad you liked it and found it hopeful. Mucho gracias.
Great tip on 1/2"x 13 threaded saddle for a riser, rather than stacked 2x4's. Never fails nice full tank of gas when pump decides to go. Ps never seen tank straps come off that easy, I've gotten pretty good taking beds off without breaking any bolts usually brake lines need replacing while I'm at it. Very good camera work too
Thank you I'm glad you liked it, the truck is from Southern Nevada no rust out here.
Job well done and a great thank you Jack !
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for the video well explained

I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful thank you for watching.
Great job with the vid. Thankyou
Thank you, glad you liked it 👍
Thank uartin bro J.
I don't know if you'd know this, but by chance what size are the front fuel lines for that dakota? Looks like a 2001 like mine, having a hard time finding the lines for it and am wondering if there are any universals I can build and use
Nice job and we’ll done!!! 👏👏👏👏.
Thank you, 😊👍
I have a 2002 extended cab R/T with the 5.9L. Will this apply to that model as well?
Well done sir .

With my Dakota my 3rd gen anyway I blocked the wheels locked it into 4Low removed the rear drive shaft and just lowered the tank a little bit. But what happen is my fuel vaper system failed the tank built up to much pressure and popped my fuel pump up a little bit.
Gracias Amigo
You're very welcome
Great destructions Martin!! lol
Thanks, James. 😎
😂😂
you deserve a thumbs up and a subscribe
Thank you I really appreciate that.

Did this about 6 years ago on my 98 durango, pump was little different, durango has 25 gallon, frame is wider. Pump was dead tank was full. I jacked it down poured into cans. when tank was empty I put a drain like you use on trany, down low to the front for next time. Going back together I forgot gasket, been six years never had a leak or smell. I see my 2001 durango has skid plate under tank.
Hey was watching this to see something with the kota and noticed you have a rear view camera installed....what camera did you install on it? I know on the full sized trucks they have cameras that go where the tailgate handle it and they also send you a new rearview mirror with the camera built in...is there anything like that for the Dakota's and durangos?
This is a POS that the previous owner had installed. It is very much like this; Backup Camera for Car Truck HD 1080P Rear View Mirror Camera System with 4.3 Inch Monitor amzn.to/3EiPfBT
Hello, what's the length of nylon portion of the fuel line from the pump to the metal fuel line?
Was wondering what size fuel pump 15 or 22 gall and if the gas tank has fuel pump size on it
One thing I learned at my new job, for seals and tight fitting parts, get a tub of transmission grease...it dissolves...we use that for everything at the shop. It's also good for hard to get to bolts for installing and removing...put a little bit of the grease in your socket and fit it over the bolt and done. Transmission grease dissolves in just about anything so it's easy to clean off
Thank you for the information got a question is pump the same for 22 gal and 24 gal tank
This one here is for the 22-gallon tank
amzn.to/46iaoJ5
And this one is for the 24.
amzn.to/48AkSpc
Thank you for watching.
Thank you hopefully that's the problem with my truck
Good luck!
You may consider getting another Bosch fuel pump and storing it. Unfortunately they have stopped making fuel pumps for XJ’s I even called them and confirmed this so it may not be a bad idea to get another one for the Dakota.
Martin love your videos but i bit of advice when i do these i just remove all the bolts on driver side remove fuel hoses from fill door lossen bolts on passenger side just to the point of dropping off then stick my sholder and lift it up stick a 4by4 to prop up then get it replaced then just the opposite to drop it in to place.
I thought about doing that. If I have to ever do it again I'll give that a try. 👍
Hi Martin. I'm having a hell of a time finding the correct connections for the ground straps on the right side of my 2000 dakota 4.7. Any chance you can make a short video or brief description of where they go?? Thanks
Well I know on my 04 Grand it went from the farthest back Ignition coil stud to the ECM
There's the Dakota!!! I was wondering what happened to it lol. I know mechanic's that don't even own that fuel ring tool 🤣
yep I'm working on more stuff for the Dakota.
@@martinbuilt can't wait to see more of your dakota videos. I've a 02 4x4 5-speed that I'm rebuilding. What are your plans for motor upgrades? Hoping that you keep making these videos. I've been watching a long time and I've learned alot from you.
Goodjob
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful.
I might change the pump on my 00 Dakota, hard start. But I'm not sure if something else could be causing it, and the plugs look good too. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.
try cycling the ignition switch on for several seconds and off at least four times and see if it starts right up. If so the anti flow back valve is the problem, same as my truck.
@@martinbuilt Awesome thanks the help!
What’s the plan for the Dakota?
And any more plans for the WJ or just trying to keep it a reliable daily driver?
I'm planning on changing the front and rear axle to 3.92 gears with a Posi in the gears. I have purchased the axle.
I also want to actually convert it to a full time 4WD.
WJ will always have projects going on with it. I am building a performance engine for the WJ.
My 92 Dodge Dakota 3.9 keeps dying as if it’s running out of gas. I put a new fuel pump in it sometimes it’ll start and run for a little while maybe 15-20 minutes then it dies. it looks like the seals where the hose goes into the tank for filling it are cracked really bad is that my problem. Please help I’m out of money and I need the structure run badly.
Sry I type a lot but does the bottom of ur tank have the info where to set ur pump and all that fine stuff on that year’s?
There was no information on the bottom of the tank Or anywhere else on the tank.
Does the low fuel light come if fuel pump goes bad. Also says low gas on the trip meeter. Is that normal for bad fuel pump
I don't think the low fuel light has anything to do with a bad fuel pump. It could have something to do with a bad sender.
I martin i have a 2003 dodge dakota 4.7L 4 door and I have a cross bar at the bottom that goes across the gas tank it has been riveted on so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to remove the bed then ads the new fuelpump can you give me some ideas on what to do please.
Yeah, perhaps what you could do is remove the bolt on the left side of the box and loosen the ones on the right side and then Prop up the left side of the Box and replace the assembly that way.
@@martinbuilt
Ok I will do that thanks for your help.
2001 to 2004 quad cabs have a 24 gallon tank vs the single cabs 22 gallon tank and use a different pump
2000 also has a 24 gallon tank. At least according to my build sheet.
Thank you and do you have information on the 1987 to 1993 ?
Fuel Pump Assembly for Dodge Dakota 1991-1996 amzn.to/3nAQDJs
How can you tell if you have a 20 or 22 gallon tank? I have an 04 Dakota and it could have either one.
it depends if it is a regular cab or quad. Check out this website it will tell you everything about your truck.
Chrysler Build Sheet fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing Enter the VIN as it appears, case sensitive.
My guy it's much easier just to take the bed bolts along with the filler neck off and raise the bed. It takes about a hour or so doing it that way and you don't have to worry about how much fuel is in the tank
No kidding! Thanks for bringing that up.
This is one I will thankfully never have to do for a fuel pump lol
I cut a hole right over the pump. In a truck bed, just cut a piece of sheet metal about an inch bigger than the hole and you can use sheet metal brakes to bend the metal to match the contour of the metal you removed. You can screw it in, weld it in...whatever....and it looks like it was made that way...I don't drop tanks very much lol
I personally loosen and tilt the bed when replacing fuel pump. I think it's easier. To each his own whatever rocks your boat.
Same here. Much easier!
I thought about doing that. If I have to ever do it again I'll give that a try. 👍
Help me a lot on my project but mine had a skid plate I had to take off first
I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful thank you for watching.
