      Hey Rob thanks for watching and we are glad it helped you.
      Yeah unfortunately not all of us can have big ole fancy shops/pole barns (that is the dream though)
      So we just have to work with what area we have, which helps others see what issues they might run into when repairing stuf their selves.

    Scary. I'm amazed that you didn't poke or stab yourself.
    Having a similar truck that had muck in the tank from water and modern gas, let me assure you that dropping the tank is far easier and safer.
    It is advised to have as little gas in the tank.

    Hi, my name is John Hall. I've got a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4 wheel drive. and I wanna. Say, thank you?. For the video, It's been about seven years since I replaced the fuel pump, but I figured it was time to review . How to put in an electric fuel pump in my truck? I'm going down to autozone and pick up my fuel pump for my vehicle today. Thank you. Thank you very much for the information, but I'm gonna do the job. The old-fashioned way drop and roll. Thank you. It was good to go over my steps to working on the truck. Keep making videos. I enjoy the video. Thank you from the great state of South Dakota

    Are Jay you are one cool dude, love to have you guys for neighbors. It was great to see the family involvement during recording.
    Glad to see you're working safe with jack stands & blocks. Also, anyone working with gasoline, use the brass or wood. Sparks & gas vapor = a painful death.
    This is a very comprehensive video. So many other you-tubers don't show the hard parts. Well the hard parts are what us diy'ers really need to see. So thanks a million for not cutting them out.
    Usually by the time I've figured out the design of the electrical connectors, they are half destroyed! Same goes for all those crazy tubing connections, i.e. fuel, ATF, etc.
    And yeah for channel lock pliers for snapping them back together!
    My '02 Ram is a diesel. There's not a nut or bolt on it that isn't rusted into one unit. I'm planning on cutting open the floor of bed. The bedliner will cover the hole. I really hope my pump is in the same place as yours.
    P.S. I subbed. Looking forward to see what else you've posted.

    You gave this a great effort and got the job done
    Do You think undoing all the Bed Bolts on one side and loosening them on the other the bed might have tilted more easily lifting one side up instead of pivoting off the rear bed bolts
    I am just wondering
    Our 06 is dead so We are next
    There was over 200 pounds of just fuel to deal with so lifting the bed sounds like a logical alternative to dropping the tank
    You got the job done

    • @RJsGarages
      @RJsGarages  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for watching, i tried slightly loosening the one side and it just wasnt giving me enough room to work above the gas tank.
      This way was actually much easier then it seems. Just jack it up slowly and use boards to place between the frame and the bed and it will work just fine.
