I turned a LockRing reversely by mistake.
Removal - Turn the lock ring counterclockwise.
Install - Turn the lock ring clockwise.
This cam couldn't be locked.
I bought a new cam (.ACDelco TR11 GM Original Equipment Fuel Tank Sending Unit Lock Ring)

The 97's don't have enough fuel lines to drop the the fuel tank without causing even more damage. Takes 10 minutes to remove 6 bolts from the bed, disconnect electrical wires from the tail lights, and have three people to remove the bed as you have so much easy access now. Shifting the bed is also optional.
Just took my bed off in 15 minutes. Super easy
Direct and to the point, thank you i will get on mine this weekend. Love that its straight to the nitty gritty, not 5 or 10 minutes of a person talking.
Watched many repair video's on this subject, but this one is BY FAR THE BEST ONE!!! Thank you so much for your help!
What is really good about this video. You didn't waste my time talking my ear off. You just showed me how to do it. Thank you! Great video!
Best video on RUclips so far to search for! Great angle ! And straight to the point!
thanks for taking the time to do the video, I did the same on a dodge because I am in the rust belt. I just used an engine crane a bit more crude but it is an old truck so wasn't worried about marking up the bottom of the box edge on front. We left the rear bolts in loosely to keep alignment just lifted the front. Cheapest fuel pump I could find and it's lasted years lol
the underside of that truck looks beautiful! definitely not in a snow state
where's the rust
A lot of work!.
I can't understand why not the manufacturer made an access hole to replace the fuel pump.
Thanks and best regards from Mexico.
Roberto.
That's what I did on my truck and is the best way to do it THANK YOU for showing every single strap
Nice video of showing that there is more than one way of changing out a fuel pump in one of these trucks. One thing I would have done is changed out the rubber hoses held on with clamps while I was in there.
I got tired just by watching this lol
Great video ingenious idea with the all thread
I can see why some don't want to drop the tank. But it seems a lot more work this way imo.
This way was easy peezy japanesey
Great video
excelente , gracias por compartir, te felicito, y sigue así
Thank you man. Alot of people skip right over the actual pump install.
Nice I gotta do this job tomorrow
good vid, ignore the haters. sometimes its better to drop the tank sometimes not.
Nice video! What length rod did you use and what size/thread count?
Did hitting the lock ring clock wise break it better going counter? I do that technique on certain applications. I got to do this in the coming weeks to my 88 gmt400.
I made a mistake.Remove the ring turning it counterclockwise.
He is doing it the best way for him its ok to do the same job different
I CUT A HOLE IN MY BED OF 67 CHEVY TRUCK , ABOUT 1 HOUR . PATCHED THE TRUCK , DUNE .
I changed the pump on mine a week ago an had to drop the tank. Turns out the thing was pretty loaded with scum in it. Cleaned the tank out but i think i messed up and didnt hookup the extra wire off the pump because the gauge reads zero gas.
Pump replacement work is a task that I don't really want to do. I also replaced it again a year later because of a bad pump.
This was a good way but why not just get a piece of 2x4 and small jack stands instead of doing those long bolts it will make it a little faster not judging just my unsafe opinion 😁
Does this apply for the 98 chevy k1500 5.0l v8 in terms of the pump inside the tank?
I having to do it myself also and this is a great video, but how is the bed not sliding off?
To lower tank, must wrestle with fuel removal, where to store that gas? then unstrap the tank and lower same. Am doing it right now on sloped driveway ugg.
I get to do this in mine except I’m cutting a hole in my bed but that’s because I don’t care plus the truck will get a new one anyways
He is over working his self
I think it’s worth cutting the hole in the bed and doing it from the top.
If you have any type of rust under your bed, I suggest cutting. Your rig looks pretty clean on the other side though.
That will be 500 thanks
can anybody tell me if 1997 was the year they had the fuel pumps in the gas tank?
Yeah man, they're in the tank for a 1997 C1500. You can see in the video at 13:48 that he pulls the fuel pump out of the tank.
most fuel injected have pump in the tank
wouldn't dropping the tank be easier and faster?
I'm sorry I don't know.
I can't lift a vehicle highly,so I lifted a bed.
No sir
Dropping the tank is an absolute pain in the azz. Takes 10 minutes to take the bed off.
He must be getting paid by the hour, lol
Why? This is the quickest way
Well...I didn't get paid much if that's what you think...I did mine in less than a hour
Awesome. Thank you!!!
Just drop the tank. The tank has to be cleaned out or the new pump will fail. You can’t clean the tank this way. And this is way more work even if you don’t plan to do the repair order correctly.
Tank absolutely does not have to be cleaned out unless it's contaminated.
@@jamesm568 it SHOULD be cleaned out regardless what you can see. It’s simple preventative maintenance. If I go through all that work to swap the pump, I will ABSOLUTELY clean the tank to ensure I give the new pump every chance to last it’s longest.
@@stanremley6646 I would say yes or no, but you just introducing more trouble when you start cleaning inside an old tank.
@@jamesm568 get a new tank then if that’s the problem. You will be chasing fuel pumps forever.
Dropping the fuel tank is a lot less effort, and note that the big lock ring in the video isn't centered, barely holds the unit down.
I disagree I've done it by dropping the tank. Very difficult to replace lines and hoses with little space for the hands.
@@lonewulf5150 Hi, all good.I would say neither way is really easy.
It's just that I'm a mechanic been working on cars everyday of my life for +- 23 years, with a pair of really big hands by now(lol)..and just don't waste time doing unnecessary work.
Hey people, as long as we keep the Chevy trucks going, they're worth it.
I agree. Just drop the tank. Especially if you have running boards and a fiberglass camper shell on top.
Mine wasn't that difficult but I have a lift and a helper.
Never had a mechanic drop my fuel tank as they always took 10 minutes to remove the bed.
No way is this easier nor faster than dropping the tank, it's an alternative no doubt but I wouldnt say it's a good one.
Last time I did this years ago I dropped the tank it only took an hour and a half. That was about 15 years ago now I need to do it again. I'll see how fast this is old guy can do it now.
After 97 GM changed the fuel lines and made them long enough to drop the tank down before you have to disconnect them. I've got a 96 I've got to finish tomorrow because I'm having trouble breaking the rusted fittings loose. I may have to cut them and tell the owner he needs yo buy the whole assembly which is what I recommended in the first place. Earlier then 98 and you can only move the tank aside but not lower to access the fuel lines. I'm trying to avoid what he's had to do here. I didn't price the job out for those hours.
As clean as this truck is dropping the tank should have been easier.
why didnt you just drop the tank it takes like 5 mins?
I can't drop the tank in 5 mins.
@@kane-kk its 2 bolts and all you need is a 5/8 and a jack if it has gas and you can sit straight up under it
Never seen a mechanic drop a tank in these trucks in 5 minutes, but I have seen them remove a bed in 5 minutes.
Drop the tank takes half hour by myself.
Dropping the tank is easier but those comments get buried because they want the bed to fall on you while working in there so you can get hurt = more money to them.
You need to use the Right tools ok.
What a waste of time an effort 2 bolts for the tank straps and tanks on the ground ummmm some people make shit way harder then it needs to be
Not all of them has straps.
Apparently, you've never dropped one of these tanks? Takes 10 minutes to remove the bolts from the bed. Takes an hour to wrestle with the tank and the fuel lines.
Screw that
Why is it that you never say a word through the hole video. Like maybe what size socket your using?
Too much work!! Just Support gas tank with the jack and remove support straps.!! Then lower the tank!
Try it on a rust heap, I dare ya.
I agree. But there's always people like Larry Woodruff. With those dumb ass comments. Larry Woodruff, thats like telling someone who found a shortcut on a track, to try a longer a route where theres mud everywhere. Why would they do that.
What about reconnecting the hoses and lines?
@@larrywoodruff7530 buy new straps and your done🤦
I agree Larry, Just tried to drop the tank on my 95 chevy work truck, turned the bolt about an inch on the front strap mount before the weld broke loose holding the nut so it looks like im gonna have to do what this guy done to make the necessary repairs
I took less time in dropping the tank then going through all that added trouble nice try on the video
What the f are you doing man. Soon as I watched it so much unnecessary extra steps lol FAIL
NAILED IT !!! Even took off tail lights LOL .A truck this old i would cut access flap through floorboard or bed and drop in new pump ..30 minutes tops !! WTF ????
@@SuperBobos12345 except for u wont find it in the floor best since it's in the back where the bed is
What ??? A truck this old Just locate pump and cut access flap then drop in new fuel pump .30 minutes Done Deal !!
Don’t take bed off or tilt it, just remove straps and drop tank.
Bad video
5 year old could do this on a rust free sissy truck, try it on a manly man salt covered rust heap, I dare ya.
