04 Dodge Ram 1500 fuel pump replacement.

In this episode my brother In-law, my dad, and myself get into the fuel pump replacement of my nephews 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I thought the truck was a 2005. all the same from 03 to 05 with the 5.7L Hemi. Enjoy the video it got crazy.

[@user-zw9zl8qo5e]

Thank you for doing an indepth video and breaking it down in terms I can understand. My 09 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 L Hemi is riddled with issues. I picked it up for 5 G's. Took it to my local mechanic and put $4,500 right back into it. I am now doing the rest on my own. I appreciate all your hard work Brotherman.

[@brianharris5520]

Wow I’m following you. No BS narratives. Just a Stone Cold Steve Austin straight to the point. Thanks brother

[@johnsummers385]

Auto Guy this is an excellent how-to video. Noticed that you advised using a 5/8 and a 1/2 socket for this procedure. Every single nut and bolt on every vehicle are metric since 1976. Some SAE and METRIC sizes will work but they are indeed different. An amateur could strip something out and have to spend a good some of $ to correct it. Your videos are some of the best on KZbin. They help me. This just a bit of ❤ advice from an Old Schooler. You are truly appreciated.

[@autoguydiy4244]

Thank you brother 🙏

I’m doing this for the second time in 4 yrs, the first time the same plastic Bose connection broke off on me too, I had to replace the whole tank and pump then and my tank was the one that was the most expensive and was 1400 dollars around that l am sure. You make it look easy but it’s not as simple as it looks. I think you’re the man for this job. HMU 🤙

Hey brother, thank you so much for always giving us a good information on all your videos. I got a 2003 1500 5.7 hemi

I had a fuel pump replacement on my 05 Dodge ram, I knew it was going to take all day with at least dropping the fuel tank or lifting the bed so I came up with my own idea to cut a hole in the truck of my bed right above the fuel tank and weld in a frame and now it's 10 minutes to get any kind of work there on my fuel tank the cut grind and reeling of my fuel tank window in the bed of my truck only took about an hour and a half. So it was quicker to make the window to my fuel tank then it was to do either of the recommended methods for changing out your fuel pump.

[@bud5084]

Did that with my old Bronco but my ram is 2 door short wheel base and the pump is right at the crack between the cab and bed.

[@jeffcoker734]

@@jeremiahbartholemew6688 cutting a hole in the bed rather than removing 4 bolts? Genius. Just genious.

[@WilliamHaroldDeVaney]

Only comment I would make, is that it's a good idea to disconnect your battery wires from the poles before beginning any work around an open fuel tank and especially when working on the electric fuel pump. Ground the frame to rid yourself of the risk of static electricity as well. Just a thought. - WKBMD

[@jeredtillman-sanchez1756]

Good shit! Appreciate the video. 1st video I found in a real worl scenario. Everyone else had it on a lift. Most people aint got that. Been struggling today. Didnt even think to tale off the back tire. And break the fuel line off of tbe old pump. That is a good idea. Will be doing that tomorrow.

[@rigobertodimas8014]

It would have been a lot easier for you to remove the truck bed that way you got to mess with no lines or dropping a tank it's only six boats you have to remove the tailgate stop lights one ground strap on a passenger side just pick up the bed slide it back a little enough for you to have clearance slider back maybe 5 to 6 ft back I've done this procedure lots of times with different trucks yes it's time consuming but in the end you don't break no lines

[@smokewrenchgarage5420]

I appreciate the video brother it helped me with my 04. I do have a question for ya, on that 04 I’ve replaced the fuel pump, the coil packs, spark plugs, plug wires & now the cam sensor but when driving the damn thing it starts running bad like it’s missing, cutting out even some backfire out the exhaust. If you stomp the skinny pedal it will clear up and run good until it acts up again usually after it idols a bit so I kinda figured it’s something in the fuel delivery or the throttle body. Just wondering if you have encountered anything like this. Thanks again!

[@autoguydiy4244]

Check your egr

[@smokewrenchgarage5420]

@@autoguydiy4244 copy that! Thanks

[@autoguydiy4244]

Your welcome sir. If it is spitting and spuddring.. most likely Egr Valve. The valve is normally closed so if it's stuck open or slightly open it will let to much exhaust gases back in the engine. Which in return will make your truck run and idle like shit.

Take the bed off. There is only 6 bolts a ground wire and unplug your tale lights. It's way easier. I would never drop the tank again.

Ridiculous prices of these parts. The pump assembly shouldn't cost over $200 and the same for that other plastic assembly for the vent hose. Those parts should be made out of metal.
