1996 Nissan Pickup Fuel Pump Replacement

Back Yard Mechanic Work. Got estimates from $550 to $775 JUST for the fuel pump. I did it all for $150. Complete pump, high pressure fuel lines, gas filler hose, low pressure returns, emission lines and all new clamps. Priceless

[@patsmith5236]

Very nice video. You seem to be the only guy making a video on this, that cared enough to clean the area before removing the pump ( this why I continued watching). Who would believe someone who lets all that crap fall into the tank? I'm bookmarking this for future use as I just tested my system looking for a reason for a bad running truck (wasn't my problem either). Kudos, very informative and thank you.

[@danag.9523]

Very backwoods sounding guy video well explained I would have hooked up to a tree limb also lol I now know how tho change my fuel pump on my 93 d21 4x4 v6

[@bengraham3225]

Hi Ted - thanks for the video. I'm going to be doing the same over the weekend. You made it look like a piece of cake..... Cheers from Australia

[@Icanthandlethis85]

Thank you for this video I just got my uncle's 96 and found out it was the pump and had no idea what to do but this cleared it up and was fast to do

[@louzts88]

I don't know where you live, but you belong in the South. This is some Shade Tree Mechanic work. Talkin' bout pullin that bed off with the tree limb. Good work and great vid!

[@tedkoran]

Shops wanted $600-$850 to replace pump.

[@tedkoran]

I've been in Florida since 1970. When you could go to Clearwater Beach and there were only a dozen cars in the parking area. Before the "Yankee Invasion" of the 80's.

[@johncelletti3108]

I do not have a farm jack. I used 2 scissor lift jacks on 2 cinder blocks and some bricks that bring it up to the top of the rear tire. I laid a piece of 1x6 to extend onto the tire. This way the pressure exerted down is even. I did this on both sides and raised it up even. I used blocks between the bottom of bed and frame. This sounds complicated but not too much once you get started

[@dco956]

glad its running....i used fence post pry bed up... put blocks between bed and FRAME

[@hassanshayegannik155]

Thank you for your descriptive video with good determination. Bravo!

[@jogmas12]

Thanks, just developed the same problem on my 1986 d21

[@robertglidewell9494]

Must do the same on a '97. Nice pictures of hose locations. Thanks for video and good job. But unless I missed something, seems like a good way to get decapitated. Would use a couple 2x4 or 4x4 to prop up bed for safety in case jack got bumped

[@CherwannRene-ll7ft]

Thanks 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TheTuneAce]

Thank you for this because I'm going to need to do it soon

[@jrock-xs9vp]

Great video so there's two Jack's one on each side.

[@tedkoran]

I just used the one jack on the gas tank side. I did remove bed bolts on both sides.

[@generalporkchop1817]

NICE

[@larryl8676]

Mr. Koran, thank you for showing the video. What are the sizes of 2 gas & return hoses at the fuel pump?

[@tedkoran]

I'm sorry but I don't remember the hose sizes. I measured the inside diameter of the pump hoses and filler tube.

[@dannys813]

Your video was very interesting...you made it interesting.

[@walterhoori358]

Thanks Ted

[@MarkWYO]

Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. Where did you buy the fuel pump?

[@tedkoran]

Rock Auto

[@platinumempire5709]

Pump Quick LOL Great Video!

[@bigwhite7three963]

Good video, do you happen to have a part number for that pump

[@johncelletti3108]

great video thank you

[@guilleloyensy]

Question my amigo see if you answer i got the same nissan my issue if i got to the filter under de carburetor unglug the filter the gas is coming at top hose and i guees is supposed to come fron the botton of the filter ???

[@tedkoran]

There should be an arrow on the fuel filter. The arrow points to the carburetor. I hope I understood your question properly.

[@sirkraken5140]

I know this was years ago but I bought a tube that diameter recently likens 3rd of the size and it was like $15 bucks

[@johncelletti3108]

maybe replace the fuel filter as well it cant hurt

[@tedkoran]

I did.

[@glendapearce4141]

Yep unbolt one side jack it other side fucked right then only one way to change fuel pump right and that right drop tank

[@vusiloyd1771]

How many bar are the hoses

[@maryfrancis4515]

I have the same truck 1996 Nissan pickup 2.4L 4 cylinder. I’m having a hard time finding the whole assembly for the fuel pump and was wondering where did you purchase yours and if you have the part number. Thank

[@tedkoran]

Got mine at RockAuto.com. You might also want to consider just replacing just the pump itself. Here's a good video for doing that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKbNe3qPd5Z-idU. He removes the tank so my method to get at the pump assembly is easier.

[@maryfrancis4515]

Thank you I did order it from rock auto. I liked your video.

[@captaindeadpool1640]

My truck set for 2 years and I am trying to get it running again I think my pump is bad I took the hose off the top of the fuel filter the one that goes to the fuel rail and try to start and no gas comes out. Can you hear the fuel pump come on? I have a 92 2.4L

[@tedkoran]

Your fuel pump is in the gas tank. Yes you can barely hear it.

[@Struttinhoyt88]

So did this fix your power loss issue? I’m having the same problem with my 96 and I’m kinda leaning towards it being a fuel pump issue.

[@tedkoran]

Yes, it solved the problem. However just the pump itself and the filter could be replaced instead of the entire assembly.

[@treerobo6864]

hey ted what kind of pump was that

[@DonovanGatlinsr]

Will a bad fuel pump cause it to back fire some?

[@tedkoran]

My "guess" would be something in the timing.

[@DonovanGatlinsr]

10/4

[@finaljudgment89]

I'm wondering if my fuel pump needs replacing. Did it help wit ur mpg? And wow ur engine got some power

[@tedkoran]

It didn't add to the horsepower but sure got it back due to lack of fuel. Gets up and goes pretty quick. And I've pulled 5000 pounds surprisingly well. Trailer has brakes.

[@tedkoran]

Easy to check fuel pressure. Most car parts will loan the guage. My engine would lose power once in a while. Fuel pressure would drop below minimum pressure.

[@finaljudgment89]

@@tedkoran mine just seems to not prime correctly and sometimes takes a bit to start the truck. Also mpg isn't that good. My lines may be rotted as well. Smells of gas around the tank wit fumes

[@AbarthVirgo]

Is the sending unit discontinued or something??? I checked rock auto oreillys, and Napa with no luck!!

[@tedkoran]

You can get just the pump. Easy to replace in your existing unit.

[@tulipboysillygoose]

Hey where did you buy the new assembly? Trying to find one.

[@tedkoran]

Got mine at Rock Auto.

[@officialsouthsoul5223]

She sounds mean man, is it the 4cl or v6?

[@johnholland3476]

How did you get the front 2 bolts out after taking off bracket my bolt just spins

[@tedkoran]

Mine didn't spin. I'll take a look at mine to see if I can come up with a suggestion.

[@tedkoran]

John, Above the bolts on top of the bed hold down bracket there are the bolt heads. Took a picture but can't post it here. I didn't check to see what size head. You will need a socket and feel by hand.

[@lofadem]

How you lifted up the other side

[@tedkoran]

I only lifted the passenger side.

[@lofadem]

Oh it looks on your video that it lifted up straight up , I try doing it and only one side was going up the other side was tilting even with all 4 bolts unscrew it was putting too much pressure on them so I stop , I’ll get my fuel pump today so I’ll try again thanks.

[@wolfmazter]

What size hose did you use for the filler neck?

[@tedkoran]

I pretty sure it was 2" if I remember correctly.

[@diegov9989]

Where did you purchase the hoses?

[@tedkoran]

Sorry for the delay. I got the new lines at the local auto parts store.

[@stacybaker2694]

Where did you get the sending unit? I cant find one at all.

[@tedkoran]

I bought the whole setup at RockAuto.com. They don't have any at the moment. You can buy just the pump and put it in your existing unit.

[@austinpetemo]

I think the sending unit is discontinued. I cant find them either.

[@jeffykings3341]

hi, how can I get the while unit? I need it in Belize. thanks

[@tedkoran]

You can buy just the pump part of the unit. Be sure to get one that has the plug that fits like original. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKbNe3qPd5Z-idU

[@jbpoly1]

What year is your truck? I ordered a different looking fuel pump. Hopefully I bought the right one

[@tedkoran]

It's a '96. You can get just the pump part and not the entire unit. Just make sure you get the replacement wit th proper plug. The cheaper ones don't have a connector plug so you'll need to splice and use heat shrink protector. What year do you have?

[@jbpoly1]

@@tedkoran I have a 1991. And the pump I have that came in the mail today has a circle piece maybe a filter or something attached to one side

[@tedkoran]

Is this what yours looks like? I get my parts from Rock Auto quite often. www.rockauto.com/info/22/SP4017M_FRO_P01__ra_p.jpg

[@MrSilvernblackblood]

Is your truck automatic or stick shift?

[@tedkoran]

Auto. Tank and pump should be the same.

[@MrSilvernblackblood]

@@tedkoran i got a 97 automatic...your truck seemed fast when you accelerated.

[@tedkoran]

@@MrSilvernblackblood It's pretty peppy

[@tedkoran]

How many miles on your truck? These trucks are notorious for timing chains.

[@freezac]

Hey are you interested in selling your old fuel sender unit?

[@tedkoran]

I have the new one. It didn't have the heat sensor on it. I put a new pump in the old one. Turns out the pump wasn't the problem. Had a pinhole in the line by the filter and was causing a vacuum causing loss of power. I'm located in Fl.

[@tedkoran]

What year is yours?

[@belmarbrandon]

Ted I'm only getting 10mpg. You mentioned replacement of pump wasn't necessary, as you had a pin hole in fuel line by filter. You mean the filter in engine compartment? How did you find and fix the problem? Thanks for the time you took to make this video!!!

[@johnholland3476]

Heck they dont want anyone getting to the 2 front bolts on my 97 ,,i cant

[@tedkoran]

Are they hidden? All four of mine are in plain sight.
