You don't have to drop your tank the easy way is to take you bed bolts out and move your bed to the side take your sending unit out and replace your full pump. I would replace your sending unit too most of the time the sending unit is the cause of your fuel pump burning out.How to change a fuel pump on a 1998 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck?Take it to a shop and pay them would be my only method.How to change a fuel pump on a 1998 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck?Before doing any repairs on your own vehicle invest in at least good repair manual from your local auto parts store. I personally prefer Haynes over Chilton. You can also get a shop manual from the dealer if you would like. I highly doubt that anyone on here is going to take the time to walk you through it.How to change a fuel pump on a 1998 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck?Drop the tank, or remove the bed (your choice) to access the top of the fuel tank. There will be some sort of ring holding the unit in the tank; either a snap ring or a ring that you would turn to remove. Your replacement unit should be plug and play.
Removing the bed or dropping the tank is your choice. I dropped the tank on my '97 half ton GMC, but on my cousins S10, we removed the bed because it was small and easier than removing the tank.How to change a fuel pump on a 1998 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck?Just about all cars that I know of have their fuel pumps located in their fuel tanks and are part of the sending unit assembly. If you have the correct tools and knowhow go to:

And for the price of one of those Chilton's or Haynes manuals you can get MUCH MORE model specific information to fix your car. I swear by it!How to change a fuel pump on a 1998 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck?Boogie is correct on how to change your fuel pump. There is a ring that you unscrew on the top of your tank. Your fuel filter is also in the tank and is suppose to never need servicing (sure Dodge), anyway, make sure and either replace this or clean it when you have the pump assembly out. I did this on a '98 1500 V6, and the only problem I had was putting the fuel lines back on (tight quarters, and the return line was the hardest). If you can pull the bed, that is what I suggest, but it is possible to drop the tank (that is how I did it).
All you have to do to drop the tank is unbolt the filler neck, unbolt the two straps holding the tank, lower the tank enough to get your hands on top of it to release the two fuel lines and electrical connection, and then finish lowering the tank. Your fuel lines are hard lines and your electrical connection is very short, so don't try to drop the tank all the way until you disconnect everything. It took me about 45 minutes to drop the tank, replace the fuel pump and filter, and put everything back together.

Alternate method for fuel pump change in chevy truck?
Hi, I have a 1990, Chevy, C15,Pickup, w/4.3 L motor,w/a 6ft bed. I need to change the sending unit,%26amp; while I'm in there, change the fuel pump as well,(milage:150K).
My Question is: I've heard that to%26quot; Avoid dropping%26quot; the tank,which has approx.150 lbs. of gas in it,(20gals)@ present, a person could simply raise the bed.
I have a floor jack. I also have a bed liner,which would be difficult to remove, due to the tie-down hardware.
Has anybody accomplished this before? If so,how?
Can the bed bolts be accessed underneath,without removing the bed liner? Thanks,in Advance! Everybody!Alternate method for fuel pump change in chevy truck?Six to eight bolts hold the bed on. Disconnect the wiring harness at the rear of the truck, get a couple/three friends to help and lift the bed and move it back about three feet. Fuel pump and sending unit will be visible right behind the cab. Use a brass drift punch or piece of wood to remove the retaining ring and remove the wires from the unit and lift it out.
Just did this on my '96 C1500, 4.3l and a short bed, same as yours about 2 months ago, not a bad job at all. You do not have to remove the bed liner, all the bolts are visible from under the truck. I had to take the rear bumper mount bolts out of the frame to gain access to the back bolts, but the rest were easy, I think it was a 14mm socket. Also will have to remove the screws holding the fuel filler neck to the bed. Had two buddies helping and it only took me about an hour.Alternate method for fuel pump change in chevy truck?Raising the bed would be 2X the work compared to draining the tank and lower it with the jack.Alternate method for fuel pump change in chevy truck?Doing it this will add about 6 hours to the job plus you might have alot of electrical issues after the bed is back on.
Dropping the tank after you have removed alot of the gas is a piece of cake and alot easier....

Does anyone know how to change a fuel pump on a 85 Buick Century pictures would be great like a manual???
I am trying to change the fuel pump on my mom's car but she does not have a manual for the car so any help would be appreciatedDoes anyone know how to change a fuel pump on a 85 Buick Century pictures would be great like a manual???The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. You will have to remove the tank from the car to change the pump. There are two bolts that hold the tank straps to the frame, these will have to be removed, BUT they are usually rusted quite bad. I would suggest soaking them with a good penetraiting oil for a couple of days before you even attempt to remove them.
You will need to put a floor jack of some kind under the tank to support it so you can lower it down. You will also need to remove the fill neck, and disconnect the hoses and wires to the sending unit before you lower the tank all the way.
Once the tank is on the ground you will have to remove the sending unit, there is a ring that has to turn to unlock it from the tank, you will need a special tool to turn this ring, or a brass (NON SPARKING) punch to tap it around counter clockwise to remove it.
Once the ring is off, you can remove the sending unit fom the tank, unclip the pump from the sender, replace the hose that it hooks into (usually supplied with your new pump), and replace the suction strainer/sock at the bottom (not always supplied)
Then reverse the steps to install. and check for leaks, there is a large O-Ring between the sender and the tank, make sure you install this correctly, and it doesn't shift out of place while re-installing the sending unit.
Good luck...many of the fittings holding the tubes to the sender can be quite rusty and a real pain to remove...if you tweek any of the lines you will be replacing lines OR the sending unit. (some can be expensive).Does anyone know how to change a fuel pump on a 85 Buick Century pictures would be great like a manual???go to the auto parts store and buy a Haynes repair manual. They are only about $15. If the pump is in the gas tank you will ave to remove that to get to it.Does anyone know how to change a fuel pump on a 85 Buick Century pictures would be great like a manual???you have to drop the gas tank .
