It's just sitting at my place. Actually I just fired it up today for the first time in a few weeks and drove my kid around the yard in it lol

[@RaulioG88]

Did you ever need a new fuel pressure regulator or does the stock one work?

[@ShinyKnife]

My Fuel tank evap cannister vent is plugged. Or that’s what I think it is? It’s showing a evap code and takes 40 days to put gas in it. I don’t have a lift so looks like I’m going to use jack stands and drop the tank? Have you done this and if so can I get to it without dropping the tank of removing the bed?

[@SniderTron3000]

You could just take out the driver side bed bolts, loosen the passenger side ones and tilt the bed. I forgot that that's another way people do this without actually removing it. But, I've only ever dropped tanks on the hoist, so idk about how hard it is to get to things. But I know people have done it

[@chrisperkins7067]

You could try cutting a hole in the bed floor. I’ve done this on my fathers truck. It’s not hard to measure the hole and then cut it with a jig saw. After we replaced the fuel pump we threaded some aluminum bars and then bolted them across the hole to reinforce the bed and then bolted down the the square of bed floor and then siliconed around the patch to make it water tight. We then put the bed liner back in.

[@ShinyKnife]

@Chris I’ll take it to the shop before I cut anything. Thats a little above my pay grade lol 😆

[@dannewton5363]

If it takes a while to put gas in, try going under the truck and to the passenger side of the tank will be your evap canister, a black square box looking thing and remove the bolt and the lines that go to it, push loc style, then get a blow gun and give it a couple shots of air on the inlet side then bang it on the ground, lightly of course, keep blowing the air and eventually you won’t see any more dusty shit coming out. Hope this helps ya, it worked great on my 04 1500.

[@ShinyKnife]

@ Dan Awesome I’ll look at it it and see if it’s the same as mine. 04 Extended cab. 4x4 Sierra 1500

[@Expiredgatorade]

Just curious on your take on this, i plan on getting an 03+ single cab silverado ill try to find a 5.3 but ill most likely get a 4.8 since they're easier to find. I want to do a race truck type build and i dont know if i just want to slap a supercharger on top with exhaust and tune or do headers and cam plus other bolt ons. What do you recommend. And also how much hp does your truck make, have you ever dynod it?

[@SniderTron3000]

With a 4.8 the go to is turbo. The bore is the same as a 5.3 but the shorter stroke makes them spool a lot quicker. If you kept it N/A just doing bolts ons, I think most people would tell you "just get a 6.0 and swap it hurrdurr" but I think a 4.8 with a good cam, heads, and exhaust could be pretty fun. And, nah I haven't dyno'd mine yet. I just estimate power based on what people with similar mods make. so it should be around 300hp at the wheels

[@SniderTron3000]

I haven't been able to really stretch its legs yet, but the 2 times that I have really gotten on it, it had plenty of fuel. Just to be on the safe side, I'd say go with the Walbro 450. It's not that much more expensive and the extra peace of mind I think would be worth it. I would've rather done a 450, but I had this 340 lying around and didn't want to spend the extra money lol

Don't blame you for being thrifty, I'm the same way. Thanks for the info, Walbro 450 it is. Got an FTI 3200 stall for $200 finally. Can't wait to see the difference that makes. Since I'm adding the Turbo I'm thinking about leaving the 3.42's in mine though. Your thoughts?

Why is dropping the tank stupid? Asking to learn not because I employ other methods. Lifting the bed seems like a lot of work if someone is doing this solo.

[@SniderTron3000]

It's not that it's stupid, it's just that trying to balance 10 gallons of gas in the tank and then once you get the straps off and trying to get the plugs and fuel lines apart while reaching around the tank isn't fun. It's not hard, it's just enough of a hassle that the preferred method by most people is lifting the bed. If you're by yourself, remove the driver side bolts, and just loosen the passenger side bolts and you can tilt the bed out of the way by yourself.
