Used this video of yours on a North Face trim level Avalanche from '03. Worked like a charm to cut exactly where I needed to, only fun on my end is the pump didnt come with new o-rings and clips for the lines to reattach, thankfully I keep a set of metric and SAE o-rings on hand, otherwise, worked insanely well, all I had was a dremel myself, so took a bit but lord, my buddy says the Avalanche hasnt run or shown the power it does now since he bought it 130k miles, and 7 years ago. Much appreciated you posted this and made those spot welds the reference for the back end!
I don’t know if this dude is gonna watch this but this kind of saved my ass . I was ready to blow a good chunk of money on a mechanic shop I’m doing this this weekend thank you very much .
thank you took me an hour i had a gas leak on rotted pump connections i did this tutorial cadillac escalade esv 05 THANK YOU!!!! i didnt have to cut rug there was a seperation for me to lift up and took off seat really easy
Having replaced the fuel pump in my Chevy Tahoe THE HARD WAY, I wish I had seen this video first. Now that's what I call thinking outside the box . . . BRAVO!
I'm a certified mechanic and i have to give it to you i like you i'm sure you are so helpful to the diy guy done it but never showed it on friend and family's cars If i did i would be classified as a hack and it's just common sense time wise
Get out of the Industry. There's a reason there isn't a door cut in the floor. If you've ever worked on a car with a trap door from the factory, you'll notice its bolted down and has a seal. This video is pure backwoods hackery.
@@rickyrobbie you say there's a reason there's not a floor cutout , then give no explanation why . The cutout isn't a hack job , but he probably could have fabricated it back on better . You're just mad cuz you like screwing people over on 30 minute 600 dollar Labor charges .
@levicallis459 Not mad about anything. Cutting the floor up is LITERALLy A HACK JOB. It's not how it's supposed to be removed, and there's plenty of good reason why its not removed like that such as the possibility of gas fumes leaking into the cabin of the vehicle. Most fuel tanks come out rather easily. A good technician shouldn't struggle with removing a fuel tank, I can typically get them out in under 20 mins. Unfortunately, people like you can't accept that working on the modern automobile is beyond their skill level, so if anybody is mad here, it's you. 600 dollar labor on a fuel tank removal? You got screwed. The fuel pump is typically the most expensive part of the job, not the labor. You sound like a backyard hack who half asses everything, mad at the fellow working man for being paid based on their knowledge, skill, and tools. I'm a better technician than you could ever dream of being, chump.
@@rickyrobbie there won't be fumes if you got the skills to fabricate it properly back on . And I'm not a mechanic , and I'll still run circles around you with basic tools . This is most likely spoken from a guy that works at a big shop with all the latest tools and lifts . Not everybody has a giant lift to conveniently make it simple to pull a 31 gallon tank .
@levicallis459 you make an awful lot of assumptions. I've done this job on the ground. Still done in under an hour without cutting the floor board up. 🙃 How many people do you think are really going to make a door for the hole they just made in their floor, since they're too lazy to remove the tank the correct way? I wonder how many of these clowns ended up cutting a fuel line and fixed it with a compression fitting that will most likely leak? 🤔 latest tools? When did snap on come out with the fuel tank removal tool? I've got lots of tools, but they're not much different than what anyone else has, except for the quality of them. Quit being so butthurt my guy, if you were so good, then why are you not working as an automotive tech? Probably because you're a parts changer, a crappy one at that. The diagnostic process is where automotive technicians make their money, which would require more brain cells than you obviously have. 🙄
I wish mine looked like that when I dropped the tank on my 2005 Avalanche, my fuel pump didn't die, the top rusted out on it and was leaking, and I spent a lot of time getting the rusted lines off the pump. And that ring that was holding the pump in was also a rusted mess so I replaced that as well. Since the pump didn't die, I was able to run the truck until it was pretty much empty. I live in the north where there is a lot of salt / deicer that wreaks havoc on vehicles. After I installed the new pump, I sprayed Amsoil Metal protector on the metal parts to slow down / avoid the rusting issue again.
Same thing with my 05 Escalade ext, top line from fuel pump assembly to motor, rusted out leaked then no start. Question, how did you get the lines off ? I'm still trying.. squeezed the clips to release, but won't release.. any suggestions, what worked for you ?
I live in the south but no clue where mine came from and my lines are rusted. One piece already broke and can't get the ring to break loose. I just want to drive my suv again, it's been 3 almost 4 years
Worked beautifully on my 2006 escalade. Same exact location. I just didn't have the box under the seat like you said. Appreciate you making the video. Ty
Glad to know I'm about to do this to my wife's 06 I was worried it would be in a different spot, I'm gone caulk where I cut and staple the carpet back down. It'll be like it never happened.
@@johnbartz1907 Easy as pie. .Iron Cutting Scissors,10in Iron Sheet Scissors, Heavy Duty Industrial Chromium-Molybdenum Steel. Buy those. Drill a bunch of holes outlining the pattern of access panel. Then cut with the scissors to avoid sparks
Bro thanks 🙏🏽. Same issue and almost the same story but my fuel ⛽️ pump died the next day… man full tank of cheap gasoline so guess who’s gonna drop that tank, not me on today🥵. Oh no no no!
Excellent….and very Funny too…..low stress…you tell the Jokes as you go along….makes me feel like ..ya!..I “ Got This”…..a few….setbacks….and trials but….those too are instructional material…really enjoyed your Vid ….good luck with the Channel….you have potential….thank you.
Crank It, thanks for saving my culo. I was scared while I was cutting the metal thinking it would spark. But I got it done, even with super fastidios getting the new pump in. I said a lot of cuss words in English and in Espanol. But drove off in less than 30 minutos!!! My culo was saved and my Caddy.
getting my fuel filter done trmw its just died today. but when the time comes to get the fuel pump done i just might need to do this. Caddy should of made that fuel pump location an actual access port. instead of having to drop the gas tank from underneath. dam the more you know
@@VATOOUT yea sure will... was just saying in my experience they are generally 1/2 tank or fuller when they come to shop . People think well maybe it ain't enough gas in it it and fill it to brim then say hmm maybe I need a fuel pump then im struggling with a 20 plus gallon tank full of gas
I wasnt looking forward to dropping my tank with the welds on the bolts broken so i did this, a little off with my measurements but it should still come out. Just to get the ring off and piece out of the line that broke
Just the way I was wanting to see it done, other than getting the wrong pump. My fuel pump is super loud and the avalanche lost all power and would barely run several times the last time I drove it, so hope this will fix it. Thanks.
all people do the same hurry up to the petrol station fill it full when the fuel pump start acting weak all videos always the tank is full, thanks for sharing your experience.
I have 40 years wrenching on cars and I’m always looking for A shortcut when it comes to my personal vehicles, great job love your video, You have a personality very similar to mine, good luck with getting the 10,000 subscribers,STEVES RESTO MODS
What grade gas do you put in it ? My 01 gmc Sierra c3 has the 6.0 , I put 87 in it. My new truck 05 Escalade ext also has the 6.0 but calls for 91 octane ???
my truck got stolen before. i wonder if i can do this as a theft deterrent to unplug the fuel pump wire and add a locking mechanism on top at the cut out. Can't start no fuel.
Spray some aerokroil or on blaster on it and let it sit for awhile, they do make a special ring removal tool otherwise a flat head screwdriver and a hammer does the trick, just don’t create any sparks and start a fire
Can you confirm the year of your EXT? 2003 or 2004? I should have seen it coming with mine because the last couple starts took more cranking than normal to start and before I parked leaving me stranded it felt like it cut out a couple times (no power) while driving. The GMC car gods must have been angered because I replaced the broken oil pressure sensor 2 days prior to the pump quitting. Thanks
Hey man nice job, I have a question for you about the story of the fuel pump being loud. How you knew it was about to go out as soon as you got a full tank of gas? Just had this happened to me today and I'm curious what's the cause maybe the fuel strainer clogged?
Mine has a bad knock sensor that I'm going to replace next weekend, and it had regular gas but since recently I found out it's suposed to run on premium gas 91 octane, I filled the tank and then the truck died a couple blocks down the road...I guess it should run fine with the premium gas after I replace the fuel pump until my knock sensors get delivered, right?
I don't think so , my 05 Escalade ext is located further forward, probably under driver's seat. Use 2 Jack's with wood to even the load under tank, mine was also almost full. Make sure you tape shut filler tube inlet on rear of tank
I did this to my 2012 Cadillac SRX. Of course it's a different vehicle so I had to cut a different spot, two in fact as the Cadi has a pump and sending unit separate. You would not believe the amount of work you otherwise have to do to drop the fuel tank, including taking the entire exhaust off the car. The government loves to mandate things to car manufacturers, they should mandate that all cars have access doors under seat to fuel pump.
@@tomasjosefvela1 understood the comment as you lack real world experience. I have had my share of full tanks to drop, I've also dropped plenty of tanks with less than a gallon...maybe you were exaggerating about never doing a fuel pump on anything less than full, but ya sound like a noob TeeJayy
I have a 2003 Escalade ext it's the same truck you have? Cuz mine started giving me some trouble shut down the truck and after like a half hour turns on again and when that happens I don't heard the noice that the fuel pump makes when you turn the key on
This video and the comment section highlights why some people shouldn't be allowed to repair anything. As an automotive tech with many year in the industry, I have found plenty of "shortcuts" and have taken advantage of them. That being said, if your shortcut involves butchering new part or cutting the vehicles floor, then its not a shortcut but a hackjob. The time it took this guy to cut a hole in the floor, an experienced tech would have had the tank out, and back in.
2006 Suburban is different, pump is @ 3” further back and 3” closer to Center of vehicle. Requires cutting out 1/2 way across one side of floor brace for pump to clear. I used air powered jig saw ( panel saw) with metal plate over tank for protection shield.
I cut my floor once being lazy and every time it rained hard or I went into a huge puddle of water my floor got wet and began to smell like stank feet. I ended up selling the car because I could not get the foot smell out. I did a suburban. Drove it up on two stands and lifted the back and put it up on jack stands and then dropped the tank and used a sypen to suck out the gas and put in a new pump. Easy to put back tank was plastic and empty and two bolts later it was over with and didn't have to cut my floor up. Yeahhhh
Hey everyone, I'd be real careful about hammering a screwdriver on that metal. You sure don't want to spark anything with all that residual gas there and a full tank... At least get the ring loose before you take the lines loose and get gas all over the place
I agree. I could see if you were stuck in the desert or in some sort of desperate situation as a LAST resort, but this isn't a mechanic. Just a hack job. Teenager stuff. There are so many reasons this is a bad idea.
@@HackMassacre Maybe, but at least I'm capable of repairing my vehicles the correct way without having to hack them up! Your need for speed probably comes from your skills at pleasuring your boyfriend where you are nothing but a two pump chump! Let me guess, you get your tools from Harbor Freight, right!?
If you ever cut a floorboard to change fuel pump you're basically attempting to kill your family on a rollover you can get gas in the cabin if the fuel line starts to leak you can get a lot of fumes in that car and we don't want to see the results so please do not do anything stupid like this gentleman thank you sincerely yours a real mechanic 👎👎🤕🤕
It only takes an hour to drop the tank and take out the old pump and put the new one in. Lol and that's putting a tank back in with that time. The way you did it I just called lazy. You might have shaved 10, 15 minutes off the time.
You had me at “Don’t buy any tools made by Chevy or GM, man get outta here “ 😂 You are a Legend for this! Thank you Bro!

People who call themselves a mechanic and then hack up their truck because they are too lazy to do the job the right way.
I agree. I could see if you were stuck in the desert or in some sort of desperate situation as a LAST resort, but this isn't a mechanic. Just a hack job. Teenager stuff. There are so many reasons this is a bad idea.
The right way takes to damn long. This is the right way if you like using your time doing what you want to do and keeping money in your pocket.
@@HackMassacre your name explains it well enough......hack.
@@wolfsmane you sound like your women tells you what to do so you cry on here 🤣
@@HackMassacre Maybe, but at least I'm capable of repairing my vehicles the correct way without having to hack them up! Your need for speed probably comes from your skills at pleasuring your boyfriend where you are nothing but a two pump chump! Let me guess, you get your tools from Harbor Freight, right!?
Te aventaste a bato
You don't got to cut nothing just remove the carpet
Quick n easy more like hacked n sleezy when your in a accident that hole in the floor will be how the fire gets inside

If you ever cut a floorboard to change fuel pump you're basically attempting to kill your family on a rollover you can get gas in the cabin if the fuel line starts to leak you can get a lot of fumes in that car and we don't want to see the results so please do not do anything stupid like this gentleman thank you sincerely yours a real mechanic 👎👎🤕🤕
Jajajajajajajajajajj no lo hagan en casa cochinero xD
Oh my gosh WTH!
Lazy
Destroyed the cady smfh
How stupid cutting near gas
What not to do!!!
It only takes an hour to drop the tank and take out the old pump and put the new one in. Lol and that's putting a tank back in with that time. The way you did it I just called lazy. You might have shaved 10, 15 minutes off the time.
