Thanks for this video! Funny thing, I was under my 2005 doing the brake lines and saw how bad the fuel lines were and thought “guess I’m doing those next” same as you lol
Great video! Just got the lines. Quick question, how did you get the nylon vapor line out from the retaining clip on backside of the block. You pulled it out without the metal line attached. Thanks in advance!
Youre talking about the line at about 7:00 in the video I think. I just broke / cut the steel line a foot past the connection. Reached up with a long straight screwdriver and twisted the retainer and it popped off, couldnt really show it as there was just no way to get a camera in there and do it at the same time. Fact is that retainer is useless because the new braided lines are thicker and wont go into the old retainer anyway.
Thanks for posting this info. There were some helpful tips. I just finished mine and there are some critical details missing that might sway someone's decision on whether to attempt this themselves or take it in. There are quite a few retaining clips which some you showed. The difficult ones are directly above the front drive shaft which should be removed for access to these clips, one being metal. I'm not sure someone could leave any old lines in due to them being tied together with the same clips and being almost inaccessible. I dont see any way around fighting these clips. There are a series of four in this area. Obviously, GM assembled all this before setting the body by the way these clips are facing. Just some added info. Thanks
Mine were fairly rusted and came out without much issue but I can see how they might pose a problem especially if someone were doing this on jack stands instead of a car lift.
Yeah, the price of gas now a days is too expensive. I like the braided sections tho, made it so much easier. Ended up moving the front driveshaft a little out of my way to get to everything.
My truck is leaking in the exact same place. And yea replacing the whole thing might be the option. Could you if you are able to send the parts you bought and used? (The name of the parts)

@@jerryboy84 Take (Or tilt) the box off the truck. Its 6 or 8 bolts and the filler neck screws. Couple hefty lads can lift it off easy. Then just remove the lines and fuel sending unit from the top of the tank. Way easier than removing the fuel tank to get at it which almost always breaks the plastic fuel fittings and will cost you hundreds to replace.
@@SchnebsGarage Thanks for the reply. Doorman doesn’t seem to have a flexible line kit available for the GMT800 extended cab. I’m going to try installing this part number and I’ll let you know the results.
@@SchnebsGarage Thanks for tip on RockAuto site. Never did find Dorman part specific to my truck. Ended up buying two kits, the Dorman 819-876 kit (for crew cab V8 models) and one from Modern Day Muffler & Brakes. The lines and mounting hardware appeared identical in type and quality, and the inside and outside diameter of the lines measured the same. The only appreciable differences were that the Dorman lines were a few inches longer, as expected for a crew cab, and the fact that MDMB puts a quick connect fitting on the fuel line rather than the OEM fuel line connection, which I thought was a nice touch. The Dorman kit would have worked just fine for my truck, but the MDMB kit was much cheaper, so I returned the Dorman. As you demonstrated, the install was quite simple, much easier than removing the nasty old lines. I recommend wearing a mask and eye protection when you're under the truck cutting out the old fuel lines. Gas drips everywhere nearly every time you cut or break them (yes I depressurized the lines first) and neither that nor the rusty bits falling off your truck taste too great. This is a smart and easy DIY upgrade for anyone with a rusty old truck they love, and it's better than dripping your money out on the ground. Have fun!
Thank you from all of us rust belt 800 fans
Hey us Rustbelters gotta stick together ;)
Rust belts no joke lol
Thanks for this video! Funny thing, I was under my 2005 doing the brake lines and saw how bad the fuel lines were and thought “guess I’m doing those next” same as you lol
Yea, once they start rotting its almost a given you'll be replacing all of em'
Great video. Just finished mine . Very helpful thanks!!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you, this was truly helpful. I do appreciate you.
Glad it helped, thanks for watching !

i cant seem to find a video for a 1999 silverado 1500 extended cab with the 5.3 ls. as thats the truck i have and need to replace the fuel lines in
Basically same procedure except the 5.3 should have an external fuel filter mounted on the frame rail where the 6.0L has the filter in the fuel tank.

@@SchnebsGarage
Exactly. I think GM went a little overkill with these. I have no love for automotive engineers.
@@class5bodyworks Mines a 6.0L in their infinite wisdom they put the fuel filter in the gas tank on this thing...
@@SchnebsGarage
5.3L here. Same thing. I think most newer vehicles have gone that way. I miss the older technology. 😔
No
that tire stand is Pog! thanks!
You bet!
Where did you buy the replacement lines? Gotta do mine on my 01 Chevy suburban.
Pretty sure I got these from Rockauto.
Oh alright @@SchnebsGarage
I put them in my suburban and so far so good no problems. No more fuel leaks
@@anthonycarlini7669 With the cost of gasoline these days they'll pay for themselves in no time ;)

How come there was no fuel filter ? Or did I miss it ??
6.0L LS has the fuel filter in the gas tank.
@@SchnebsGarage my 02 is on the inside frame rail that’s why I found it odd
@@vermhot Yea its a mystery why GM decided to put a fuel filter inside a gas tank.
@@SchnebsGarage I will agree
My truck is leaking in the exact same place. And yea replacing the whole thing might be the option. Could you if you are able to send the parts you bought and used?
(The name of the parts)
DORMAN 819876 Got the lines from RockAuto for around $200.
Did you need fuel line disconnected tool set?
Yes its pretty much a must have tool for any of these fuel injected cars. I've done them without but for $20 or so on amazon it'll save your sanity.
@@SchnebsGarage do you have a link?

What are the plastic pieces called so I can buy a set?
fuel line removal tool (or disconnect) depending on who you talk to. Sold on amazon or just about any auto parts place.
I didn't see a fuel filter, am I missing something?
GM in its infinite wisdom put the fuel filter in the gas tank on HD models with the 6.0L. it's part of the fuel pump and sending unit assembly.....
Also good eye. I mentioned it in the recording process but somehow left it out in the edit.
@@SchnebsGarage Got it ! Great video thanks for sharing.
Same on my 5.3 LM7 extended cab
Filter must be in tank
Make another video of the fuel pump-if that’s next on the list 😊
Great video thanks! Need to do this to my 04 and wasn't sure which lines to go with. Braided looks pretty good. Maybe good time visit rock auto.
Glad it was helpful!
What’s the part number on the lines I can only find the shorter ones
DORMAN 819876
Hey does dorman make braided lines for trucks with a filter on the frame rail? I have 02 silverado 1500, doesnt have fuel filter in the tank
Sure do. I think the filter is included in the kit.
I have a 2005 Silverado 1500hd 6.0L can you please tell me where's the fuel filter?
Inside the fuel tank on the pump. Yes its bizarre but thats where they put em on the 6.0L.
@@SchnebsGarage it's that hard to do it myself?

@@SchnebsGarage I appreciate your help thank you so much 👍💯
@@jerryboy84 Np, good luck with it, I have a few videos removing this box if you need any info on it. I've had it off 3 times for various fixes.
Has anyone tried to install this same Dorman part on an 2004-2006 or 2007 Classic Sierra 1500 Extended Cab with the 4.8L V8?
Its a different part number for the 4.8L extended cab than a crew cab 6.0L but similar procedure.

@@OldBalls79 Never heard of Modern Day Muffler & Brakes I'll have to check em out in the future, thanks for the tip.
What happened to the fuel filter ?
Gm put the fuel filter inside the tank on the 6.0 L models.
Can I please have a link to these fuel line set? Thanks
www.rockauto.com/?carcode=1431112&parttype=11224 This was the one for my application, yours may differ depending on body style etc...
Thanks!
You bet!
Thank u
Very Welcome.
Seems pretty common now days, that teens are not getting drivers licenses. I had mine within weeks of my birthday. Freedom!!
Same here, liberating to be able to go where you want (so long as you have $ for gas these days)
How about the return line ?
What about it? I replaced both feed and return lines in the video in great detail.
It’s time for a newer truck
More like older if you ask me....way older.
Ineed'to,see,how,the,o,rings,go,on,fuel,to,the,.motor,on,a4'3,liter
You replaced the pressure and vapor line. You did not replace the return
LOL ok the vapor RETURN line... feel better ? Clearly didnt actually watch the video as I say VAPOR at lead half a dozen times.
