...Buck....this has got to be one of the most thorough and enjoyable fuel pump repair/replacement DIY videos I've ever seen... video and audio quality first class...thanks for posting... 🙂
Our 2016 Expy is crank no start. I’d spray carb cleaner into the throttle body to verify it’ll run but I’ve heard that’s bad for the turbos. I like the amp meter idea. Thank you ❤
A brief shot of starting fluid or brake clean into the throttle body is a good way to verify that you have spark. Done sparingly, I don't think it will hurt anything.
I thought about going to the tavern to get some help for cash, but I spent the money on a chain hoist, load leveler and chains that I could use to take it off and put it back on. I put a landscaping timber across a couple of joists in the garage to hang the gear. Now I can hoist other stuff, too!
Very informative. Troubleshooting details are presented clearly. Logic evident throughout. I would like to see some of the testing details. I assume a tap for the fuel pressure; I'm curious about amperage test setup and execution. We have a '92 F-series so some of the techniques apply. Thank you- video detail and repair quality are excellent!
I had this problem with my 2002 f150 just more than one year after I bought it. I discovered in 2023 that one of the clamps on the fuel hose under the bed was partially broken. I suspect the poor seal allowed fumes to leak out when the line was under pressure (ambient temps). Cycling the key would send fuel to the engine and eventually start.
Where did you connect the amp meter? Can a standard multimeter be used for this? If so, on what setting? I watched both videos. Thanks for making them!
On my truck, fuse #10 in the under hood power distribution box is for the fuel pump, a 20Amp fuse. You have to remove the fuse, and use your ammeter with prongs inserted on both sides of the fuse socket. I used my harbor freight multimeter on the ammeter setting.
You might have missed it when I mentioned first crawling under the truck to hit those bolts with penetrating oil....I was glad to at least get 5 out of 6 loosened and removed easily.
I would of just dropped the tank. Only got 2 strap holding it. By the time you do did to do this job. I’m already finished replacing the fuel pump. Take me 1.5 hours to replace the pump.

Thanks so much for those kind words! Made my day!
An eighty year man can't hardly lift a truck bed
Thank you much, hopefully I get mine up running tomorrow
My fuel pumps always one right around 100,000 miles thank you for the video
Also, if your replacing the hose only 1 hose clamp is necessary to remove the motor ❤

Currently having the same problem intermittent. Thanks for this video is very helpful and informative.

Awesome video the first fuel pump video i have seen where you pull the bed instead of dropping the tank.
Thanks so much!
It's much easier to pull the bedding off than dropping the tank.
Meant to ask-whose pump did you use? Motorcraft or ? I skipped to the end so if you said the brand in the video, my apologies.
I used the delphi brand pump. See link in description. Verify the right pump for your vehicle, of course.

Thank you, very educational... 👍
Why didn't you weld a nut onto the torx head to continue pulling the bolt from the bed?
He may be like me don't have a welder.
Buck since the bolts haven’t been off in 20 years maybe some penetrating oil might have helped some.

This happened to me , I just made an access panel in my truck bed , why , because even new pumps can be faulty
Very good thank you brother

Your comment fits under the category of “how I can do it better.” Not sure why someone as skilled as you even needed to watch the video….
Great stuff, thank you for sharing this
Good job like what you did 👍
Well if it keeps running he just saved himself $1000 !
IF it keeps running??? You seem to have some doubts, ha ha!
Repackaged, Open package, Damaged package,
Typical of an item from Rock Auto.
I don't think I bought it from Rock Auto...can't quite remember....
I have to change mine also.
418000 miles it lasted
