Replacement of a Dodge RamVan 1500 fuel pump. I apologize if I left anything out that I should of mentioned and for calling certain things the wrong name.
You're right there's not a whole lot of videos on this type of van I will just want to thank you so much for making this video I have a 2003 ram van 3500 though but this is going to help me and doing my fuel pump it's much appreciated
You are my hero bro. I have a 2002 2500 van and I couldn't figure out for anything if the plastic piece the hoses attach to came off the tank or not. Definitely not a lot of videos on these vans. Thank you!!
Great video. Simple and easy to understand with good tips. Keep up the good work. I have a 1997 Dodge van. Yes it is hard to find videos on this type of van. I'm subscribed. Thanks
You can actually tear these things apart and put another fuel pump in them. But it ain't pretty. I had to breaking some of the plastic to get it fully open. Someone more skilled could probably open it without breaking it. The replacement fuel pump I put inside was a 1/4 inch too long so I had to saw back the locking tabs for it to fit. Ultimately I'd probably replace the whole thing if I wanted to use it seriously but for now I just want to move it down the road a bit and test for any other major problems.
Getting ready to do this to mine. But now curious if i could go through the floorboard. Like i have done to a couple of 3rd generation Camaros. 🤣 especially since I am stranded in the soft desert sand. I have the b2500 and is too heavy to lift.
Very well explained, what symptoms did you have that prompted you to replace the fuel pump...mine is currently jerking like a misfire, but then it cut off when I came to a stop and it sputters sometimes, its the same year 2001. Thank you much.
I have a 2000 van also like the one you were working on with 79K miles on it. Should I replace the fuel pump With in a certain amount of miles? Did your original fuel pump fail?
I couldn't tell you for sure on the miles, the reason I changed mine was because I was chasing a starting issue 👍🏿 although it didn't fix the issue, it was about time I replaced it since I did see corrosion on the gauge
I'll be honest, I chased it around and could never figure it out. Got it scanned, and supposedly 2 cylinders have low compression, but don't know if to believe it since the engine only had 89k miles when I bought it and it's been doing it since lol
@@zecxnd thanks for your reply. I've had similar problems with other vehicles. A new map/maf sensor fixed it. Leaking oil over certain electrical parts/connectors also cause problems. I map sensor and IAC valve all this to my van and still have problems stalling. So in my case I think it is the fuel pump. Anyway my 2 cts.
Has nobody ever heard of a spanner wrench? A hammer and chisel are fine for removing the lock ring, because you're supposed to replace it and the seal, if you ever take it off. A torque wrench and a spanner wrench or lock ring tool is what is needed. 40 Ft.-Lbs. of torque, according to the service and repair manual. Not a bad vid, but you're not a mechanic. Watch videos from actual mechanics if you want to fix your car the right way.
Yeah yeah yeah, you 2 do realize that there's people out there that rather do this themselves than to pay a real mechanic $200-$500? It's obvious I'm not a "real mechanic" thought the ordinary tools and the fact that I was doing it outside of an apartment complex was enough to give it away lol anyways, even though I didn't torque it to 40 Ft. Lbs and I dragged the strainer across the asphalt, van runs like a champ, and I used the money I saved to pay rent, some shoes and 2 grilled cheese sandwiches 🧀 yall be safe tho
I for one am glad he showed it possible without special tools because Im broke down and don't have access to just Any thing. Glad to know I can still get this done! Thank you so much op!! Please if you do anything else on this type of van think of us! There's seriously a huge vacuum of information on the forums and videos for this model van! I will be happy I can afford some grilled cheese once this is all over with xD
You're comment would have been so much more reputable if you hadn't included the last two sentences. A lot of mechanics use a chisel too even though they know about the spanner
For those of you who make negative comments, why don't you post some videos that will help us instead of being smart mouth.
FINALLY A REAL VIDEO...OF A VAN...THANKS

I contemplated that idea too, just aim right if you do plan on cutting 😂
@@zecxnd ya i bought a cheap endoscope when i did the Camaros. Luckily still have it somewhere 🤣
Thanks brother man.

I was having a starting issue, but even after replacing it kept on doing it lol but it did fix the fuel gage faulty readings! Lol
@@zecxnd What ended up being the problem? Mine is also having some trouble starting
@@Raneyguything64 couldn't figure it out

What sz. Tank?
Did you ever fix your starting problems and what was the cause of the problem?

@@zecxnd thanks for your reply.
is this a 32 or 35 gallon tank?
Not so sure about the specific number on that, but when I fill up it tops off at 30 👍🏾
I believe it's the 32
Thank you sir, FYI I gave you a thumbs up and that shows I also subscribed and that did not
It's been a year but you left out the Amazon number for parts number?
