Video

Thanks

Thank u so much for the video!!! Saved me 1200 😂. Youre the goat

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

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

What do you do with the studs in the old pump if the new one doesnt have them?

He's okay 😊

Nice video and very helpful.

do not lay the fan and fan clutch flat on the ground.

Why didnt you show removing the fan from the waterpump thats the only thing i needed to see the fan spins with it even if the belts still on

I guess they just ended scrapping the truck 😂

I got an 07, is it same spot ? Also , use a multi-tool with a carbide blade , or hack saw with one , it's less or no sparks

Cadillac Escalade

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.

Need to more videos lol you would a ton of subscribers lol

Chill out. Seal it up when you're done, no leaks(fumes, exhaust or otherwise).

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.

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

😂 they use to make cars with this hack in mind but they got greedy and want your money so they try to make it hard on mechanics that they start creating special tools and putting extra bullshit in cars so you bring them back to the dealership and get rammed on prices for simple jobs. Why I only buy cars from 2013 and back

What's the measurements

Did you have to rewire the harness?

Male gender, female gender 😂😂😂, cool video thanks u

You guys are great! I like the real life problems of dropping the bolts😬😆🙋🏼‍♀️thanks for info- I’m giving it a shot tomorrow!

Scalade 2008?

Use new clips avoid future problems

Be aware that some fuel pumps rot away on top with fumes coming out. So with the grinder sparks!!!! My 2002 is one of them

lol hes gotta climb out the back hatch or sunroof

Sparks and gas?

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

I have a 2003 caddy escalade and it starts up after sitting a few hours and dies 2 minutes later any ideas what its caused from?

How stupid cutting near gas

Thank you, followed all your instructions on all the videos and replaced mine, made the hatch like yours as well, you’re a godsend! Saved myself like $600+

Sir... thank you! omg life savere.. 2 hr job!! tops 👍

Great video and very informative 👍🏻... I'm about to do the same thing to my 07 Ext.... I hope it's close to the same as yours

bring us some more videos man you're awesome your character is awesome too dude love the video keep them coming

Perfect.

love your video. a true DIT yourselfer!

Once again we see someone trying to fix the truck the wrong way. First of all the way he did is very dangerous. If you're messing with a fuel pump that you can't see through a steel floor the Sparks can cause explosions remember you're working with gas gas is very high a flammable. Second of all if you get a gas leak at the fuel pump the fumes can enter the driver's cabin. Third of all if the vehicle happens to have a gas line leak you can cause death to anyone that's in that vehicle. For but not least if the exhaust system has in the leak it can enter into the vehicle through that hole that you made. If you ever have problem with funding please talk to the garage and see if they can make a payment with you to do it the right way if your family is not value to you do it this way other words please be safe don't listen to these mechanics want to be mechanics. 🤕🤕🤕

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 👎👎🤕🤕

Where you left the studs in the old pump. I left one of the water pump bolts in the old pump. Luckily after watching your video, I asked my son in law to bring the old pump back to me. I got the bolt out of the pump. I pulled another bolt out of my other blazer and put it in the bottom left but had a leak in that spot. It is the next morning and I am going to RTV the bolt that came out of that spot and put it back in to see if that fixes my leak. I will update for those reading the comments. I am wondering if this bolt is different from 2 of the other 4 as the top right bolt is different from all of the other bolts.

How do you keep from stepping thru the floor🤔

This is hands down the most dangerous video on you tube . Please don’t anyone do this ! If there is Evap leak on that fuel tank top this guy would have exploded in flames with the sparks from that grinder..Dude take this down before someone gets hurt or you get sued .

what about fuel filter replacement for same

Bro you should have a patient 💪🏿 excellent job

Thank you for sharing! Life saver!💪

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.

damn.... I just did this the HARD way..... sh1T

Dude you are damn funny! The glasses, the gloves, protect everything LOL!

I just finished mine on a 2002 Avalanche. I went to the junk yard and got the under seat panel , made my square opening for the fuel pump and cut the donor panel four inch overlap silicone and a few self tapping screws and done. Thank you Sir!

Crank it, good video. I have the same problem of having a full tank of gas when mine went. Gonna get after it tomorrow after work thanks for the video

super clean job almost looks factory. your are a perfectionist on how you do you work. 👍👍👍👍👍
