My gawd. This video could have been under a minute long. Congrats on
weakening the bed, I hope you don’t step there in the future. You can’t
weld it back together, that would drop slag onto the pump and tank. I am
glad you did it to your truck though, now I have a better understanding of
how the pump goes in. Oh and you overpaid nearly $100 for that pump.
back yard mechanics at its best. Do it right and take it to a qualified shop
By the way… Thank you very much for the measurements. 🙂
@TheWBarry you sir are a tool.
wow…people please don’t do this. drop the tank. takes same amount of
time. wow
Lol next time drop your gas tank…. Don’t cut your bear people.
My wife wanted me to tell you the tailgate at the back of the bed not the
side of the truck. But you probably nervous working on your first vehicle
let a lone on camera.
I like the idea of that a lot. It’s wasted space under the truck anyway. It
would be cool to make a door out of the removed piece so it all looks
uniform.
A few bolts and unplug a harness you can pull the bed off in 15 minutes.
What a dumbass!
@X2caveman Hey I have a 97 dakota to, I heard it is easier removing the
bed? did you? where did you get the pump, I’m looking ebay some goes for
$150 others for $80 . Any tips before I get onto it? Thanks a lot !
I’m with you. I cut the bed out of my ’91 when I changed it out. Good thing
too. I’ve had to change it out 2 more times since then. Now I want to get
rid of the regulator on top of the tank in my van that & can’t cut out the
bed. I want to mount another regulator & filter somewhere it’s easier to
get to. Got any suggestions?
In bed storage? Never thought of that. Fucking good idea.
I ROFL’ed from about :45 on..
You know, in spite of all the negative comments you got on this, I’ve
watched all the videos I can find on doing this job, and no one has one
that makes it any easier than what you have and so what if you have a hole
in the bed. No big deal, just slap a plate down on top of it and yank it
off next time and you’ll never have to wrestle out a tank or take off a bed
again. I love it. Going to do the same. Thanks for the video.
why not remove the 4 bolts holding the bed and jack up the bed and replace
that way?
Sawzall method might be faster if your bolts are solid stuck and you can’t
prop your box up that easy. If you have a plastic bedliner, you can just
create your trap door if you want for later access when you hit 500k miles.
I have 252k miles on my truck. Pump cost me $234 at Advanced. I know I
could have gotten it for half online, but I could not wait past the weekend
to get it fixed.
ill stick with droppin my tank, fuck cuttin a hole in the bed. what a
dumbass…
@grimlin15 He notes he took 3 days to decide on how to do it the easiest.
He the paid $236 off the shelf at an auto parts store! 5minutes on Ebay
could have one shipped to his door for $78. in 2 days! There are thousands
of them listed, just search out your year & model. Brand new with a
warranty.
@SiliconPirate – pass safety??? What the f*ck are you talkin about, you can
take the whole bed completely off and STILL pass safety… a 15″ hole isnt
gonna fail safety buttPirate
oh did i mention that that the people at chrystler are MORONS ! hahaha
“Mike Style” seems to be the best way to do any type of repair. Instead of
using a ladder to change a lightbulb in my vaulted ceiling, I’ll just cut a
fucking hole in the roof and ta-da!! Easy access. Hell, I could even use
“Mike Style” for other items! I could cut holes in the fenders to replace
the spark plugs too, I mean, that sumbitch hood is a pain to open up. Keep
up the great tutorial videos. You should do some vids for “expert village”.
You could have just removed the 6 bolts and lifted the bed. How are you
gonna patch that? How will it pass a safety if you sell it.. not to mention
the depreciation in value.
you are fucking kidding me. why don’t you just cut your fucking feet off to
change your socks and shoes. Sorry but I will be dropping the tank….
Dude, I thought of doing that for about three seconds. It took two 15 mm
bolts to drop the tank, and two hose clamps. Why are you telling people to
cut a hole in their bed? The amount of work dropping the tank, including
jacking, was less than this ham-fisted type of access. Now your bed is
going to leak water and rust faster. If it weakened the bed, that’s not
cool. Maybe the next owner will haul firewood or gravel. Dumb.
Oh, for sure. For now, I just use a steel lid to cover it and make it flat.
I need a constant access to that storage. Mind though, I have a locking
commercial canopy. That was actually a fairly easy project. The hardest
part was making a steel frame for the tray. It also reenforces the bed due
to a cut out. Frame was made using angles from bed frame. 🙂 Tray was made
out of sheet metal and rivets were used to form it.
@euro11AG no i just dropped the tank ,.. it was quick but be sure not to
break any of the plastic fuel fittings cause they are HARD to find,… dont
get the pump for $80 ,.. its just the actual pump and you still have to use
your old fuel pump assembly and float and all the wires ,. ,.. and you have
to grind out your stock assembly to make the new one work and blah blah
blah just a bunch of CRAP in my opinion ,.. stay away from “High Flow” (the
company),.. get the $150 pump
Here is my storage. Not pretty, but pretty functional. /watch?v=AA5wG_G2Kdo
you cut a hole in your fucking bed ? dude it took me 30 minutes to drop my
tank in my 97 , hey just look at it this way , it should go faster now with
less weight !
