@@JoshAU44 No, I removed the box. The tank strap bolts were to far rusted. The gas in tank must of evaporated & the pump was completely disintegrated into pieces.
Awesome video and thanks for including what size of tool was needed. Getting ready to replace my pump and everyone says on a ranger bed removal is the easiest
Thanks for this terrific video. I just got screwed. I paid $800. The mechanic said that the fuel pump cost $500. I looked it up and it sells for less than $150. I won't be going back to him. Even if I wanted to, I could not afford it.
I just drop the tank, just did it a few days ago. It’s much easier, considering it’s a plastic tank and it doesn’t weigh anything, plus if your alone it’s easier. Or I’ll unbolt one side of the bed, and loosen the other side and use a bottle jack to lift the bed up about a foot so I can reach in there, It’s sometimes a pain in the ass to get those t55 bolts out of the bed, especially if the bed is dirty and they are full of mud
Just bought a 94 ranger supercab 53k miles body is in great shape Driving it home I noticed it started losing power When I stepped on the gas it wouldn't go and any hill / grade in the road it would dam near come to a stop So I dropped it off at a roadside shop they told me they changed the fuel filter and that it was the dirtiest filter they ever saw in 30 years and that they think the fuel pump is totally clogged and going bad that the gas tank will have to come out and cleaned or replaced Fuel pump Changed and that the truck needs a complete tuneup, They said that they won't do the tank and fuel pump unless I get the complete tuneup Price $876 ,How hard is it to drop the gas tank and Clean it out and replace the fuel pump Is it a really hard job .. Just subscribed
I have a 2003 ranger 2.5 that is very very difficult to start (can take up to 5 mins of cranking) but once it starts it runs reletively fine. Just done fuel filter and service could it be the in tank fuel pump?
Nice simple instructions.. Question? I have about a 25 tank of gas left.. Do I have to empty that out? Or can I change the pump with the gas already in? Since the pump insert is at the top, I don't see why you have to empty tank. Obviously disconnect the battery cable.
ToddB987 you can just slap in the pump this way. Its done to avoid a tank drop. The old rule was only OEM pumps but because they are all after market on these now... Why flush the tank on a cheap pump?
So you replaced the in tank pump but what about the high pressure pump on the frame rail, fuel filter on the frame rail, etc? I have an 87 Ranger that has an intermittent what seems to be like a fuel starvation problem under acceleration, it'll idle all day long, which leads me to think my issue is the fuel pump on the frame rail. How did you find out the in tank pump was bad? Would a bad low pressure pump in the tank give me the same issues? I have also been told the fuel pickup tubes in these older Rangers have a tendency to disintegrate or collapse causing fuel delivery issues as well.
This was on a 92. The dual pump system didn't exist anymore then. The high pressure /low pressure system test is much more complex and requires plugging the return line if pressure is low at the regulator (regulator confirmed OK). Once plugged, if psi drops by 5 or more in 30 secs the hi-pump is bad. If not then the low needs a test/hoses are the issue. On a 92 the tank is the HP
@@vonleonhardt2 Hmm, high pressure should be mid 30's low 40's for psi if I'm not mistaken and from the looks of the clear filter I added by the pressure regulator that its not even 30psi just a very low pressure flow and seems to kind of pulsate into the filter rather than flow in like one would expect to see. My Ranger is an 87 so it has low pressure in tank pump and high pressure pump on frame rail. I ordered a high pressure pump as its easy to get to and replace as I feel that seems to be my issue since its under acceleration/load when it starts sputtering and losing power. Originally I had an issue where the fuel pump would run continuously while the key was in the on position with engine off, then I found that someone had ran a ground wire to the EEC plug once I removed that the fuel pump only runs once the key is turned on for about a second then turns off like it should...the fuel issue was happening prior to pulling that wire from the EEC port so I know that wasn't bypassing something just someone obviously trying to troubleshoot it at some point and gave up I assume. Everything else works on the truck, and its in pretty good condition overall, just needs a good bath inside and out from sitting.
Hi, how are you? Can you tell me if the red rubber tip of the return is open or closed? Here in Brazil there is no information on this. I appreciate it very much.
Sammy T123FB it does fine permanently if you cut back to steel and put on a rubber fuel line. Just clamp it with screw in clamps. The Asian 90s cars/trucks all do that. It might cause issues in like 20 years but who cares?
Darryl Hammons the bed is fastened right onto the frame. It's already grounded through the bed bolts. Ground straps are more for getting the negative battery ground spread between the block trans and frame. And they after about 2k miles of vibration pretty much all the metal to metal bits are grounded. One may have fallen off though!
All of these dielectric greases, and virtually all from other manufacturers, both improve insulation and preserve electrical connections. They do this by sealing contaminants, moisture, and air out of connections. ... They are as effective at preserving connections as "conductive" grease, and will not harm insulation

I have to say thank you for making such a clear and concise video. Awesome editing BTW. I wish all videos were like this for automotive repairs.
Very helpful. I ended up grinding the bolts off, that was about the hardest part. Can't wait to drive it again after about 5 yrs.
Mines been sitting 5 years with about an eighth of a tank of gas in it. Did u have to drop your tank & clean it?
@@JoshAU44 No, I removed the box. The tank strap bolts were to far rusted. The gas in tank must of evaporated & the pump was completely disintegrated into pieces.
Thank you, Paul! You gave me the answer 40 seconds into the video.

Hahahahahaha por pendejo
If they got it at Ford it prolly did cost that much.
@@tristanwwsd the old rule was buy OEM. But on many vehicles the motorcraft part is now just a 3rd party part
Great video.. Very helpful too.. I also have a 90 ranger and it needs a fuel pump also unfortunately... Thank u
The Best tutorial video!!! Thanks!
straight forward and clear. good job!
That hat fits so perfectly on you I would swear that you were born with it on. Great video too.
Best tutorial ever
Very complete. Thank you sir.
nice camera shot of everything so you can see! now i have the confidence to do it myself.
Great comprehensive video.
Great video. Very informative and well done. Thanks!

The trouble I ran into is you can't get the fuel tank straps loose due to the bed sitting on the bolts that hold the straps LOL...87 Ford Ranger.
Good video! So this is the only way to do it with taking the bed off
great job
pull the plug on the wiring harness , driver side, all the way back, accessible under the truck, then you don't need to remove tail light bulbs.

good vid strait to the point.
What is the part number for the wiring connecter for connecting the fuel sending unit? Mine crumbled into pieces.
Im having a hard time getting the bed back on as the bolt clips have moved and I can only see one clip that the bed bolt goes in
Great video!! keeping it simple and understandable!! thanks for the pro tips! Liked !! Subbed !!

Changing mine today, that ground wire that you were talking about in the video, where did you find that connector? Junk yard? Parts store?
Sorry haven't checked this at all but for future folks: you buy it online for i think a 1st gen explode 11 bucks.

Here in Brazil there is no information on this. I appreciate it very much.
It hooks up to the return line. You need both lines for EFI to work.
Top!!
Good video bro
My 2010 ranger has 10 bed bolts
dose the hose clamp work good for a temporary fix if your fuel pump fitting is broken
Sammy T123FB it does fine permanently if you cut back to steel and put on a rubber fuel line. Just clamp it with screw in clamps. The Asian 90s cars/trucks all do that. It might cause issues in like 20 years but who cares?
Paul L Awsome thanks!
be careful with the bulb the he throws it
Bob Dylan? Is it you? :D thanks for the vid. changing mine today
queenofspadz you're the second person to say that! I have no idea if it's true too young.
You didn't run into a ground strap connected to the bed?
Darryl Hammons the bed is fastened right onto the frame. It's already grounded through the bed bolts. Ground straps are more for getting the negative battery ground spread between the block trans and frame. And they after about 2k miles of vibration pretty much all the metal to metal bits are grounded. One may have fallen off though!
Skipping around too much didn’t help with needing to know how to take shit off
Planning on doing this tomorrow morning. You didn't need to remove the wheels to slide the bed back far enough?
Michael Harris naw, it'll rest on the wheels fine. You just need two people to get over the "hump".
Paul L thanks!
do i clean the electrical jelly out the prongs?

Hey great video
👍
you dont haf to remove the bed just unbolt and tip it back leaving the rear two bolts inserted just slightly.
