Man that was the most specific on point guided repair I've ever watched with the camera and location of screws or mechanisms, and the all around feel, man you guys ROCK!! If I was a whole lot richer...even a little bit 😞, I sure would help you guys out so very much more!!! A girl can only do so much when it seems like the world didn't throw lemons...it's throwing megalithic boulders my way....sorry, anyways, I do seriously really appreciate your video. Thank you, all who were involved!!

[@jessiewright1053]

Perfect and very well done video. Only caveat, the nuts holding the straps up on my 08 were 15mm. It seems some are 15mm and some are 16mm.

2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab, 5.9L Cummins Diesel. Would love to see anything with the Diesel Motor. IE replacing glow plugs, injectors, learning what the codes mean on an OBD reader, or anything you might think would be helpful to the non mechanic DIY person. I already had to take my Dash out to fix the plenum doors for the A/C, heat. What a nightmare that was. I am not a mechanic so it took me longer to figure out all the unknowns that an experienced mechanic would know. Love your videos. Great Job. Peace, Reese

Thank you for taking the time to make this vid. VERY nicely done. The metal flapper/tab that covers the filler hole by my gas cap came loose and (presumably) got washed into the tank when refueling. Since then, whenever I refuel, I have to do so VERY slowly, else gas will gush back out of the filler hole. Could this issue be caused by the tab being washed into the tank? I removed the filler hose at the tank end and the tab is nowhere to be found. Do I need to remove the tank and get the flapper/tab out of the tank -or can I assume that the tab will simply sink to the bottom of the tank? I also assume that the tab could not get sucked up by the fuel pump because it's too big and the pump has a screen on it. Any direction is most appreciated.

[@1AAuto]

+skkfor If it's not stuck the the filler neck there might be something else causing the issue. Usually this happens when the filler neck develops a kink or a bend in it that obstructs the fuel flow. 1aauto.com?KZbin&CTA%20Comment&ATony

[@q1o1mancow]

i have the same problem, with my 2007 ram, what did you do to fix your problem, please

[@roberttyrrell2250]

Thanks guys.

[@vachayang6713]

Very good videos

[@mattlawhun8738]

Awesome video! Very informative.

[@adriananoelle4699]

Too many steps! I literally just unscrew the fuel filler neck, and hoses, disconnect the pump, fuel, and rollover valve line, remove strap nuts, and drop.

[@yoboi3392]

Video?

[@jenniferrose5805]

Thanks!

[@shane_fryd_rice]

Thank you much for this video. How does one drain the tank on an 2005 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 in it? Thank you in advance.

[@1AAuto]

+Shane Rice Thanks for watching! One way to drain on that model is to drain at the fuel rail connection. You disconnect the line and activate the fuel pump. You just need a container to catch all the fuel. The other way is to drain through the fuel fill fitting at the tank, but we do not have a video on this process. 1aauto.com

[@MGHMUSIC76]

Where can I find the red clip that was broken in the video?

[@bigcharl33]

Great video, very helpful untill I got to the front strap bracket. The strap itself is good, but it pulled out of the rusted bracket on the frame. Everything I found just tell me to weld a piece of metal back onto it. I was wondering if they sell the original bracket? Or would I be better off frabracating new ones? Seems like there is no drain in either the front or rear brackets. And yes I'm in the salt belt of NJ. 2011 ram quad 1500 2wd 5.7

[@bartsmith6508]

my tank has a broken vent tubeto fix or replace it can I just lower the tank to do the work or would I need to take completly off.And if I can just lower it do I need to unhook the filler lines thanks

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

What is the weight of the empty fuel tank?

[@billyd2780]

Where does the other end of the quick connect vent line go?

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey This video isn’t that old Do you guys have fuel tank for 2005 dodge 2500 ? Thank you

[@GMCSAFWA]

could you please help me out. I have a 2007 dodge ram 1500 with 4.7 engine. I need to change the fuel tank and I found one in great condition but for 2008 dodge ram. I wondering if it's going to fit on my truck or not. Help please

[@1AAuto]

+Binqassim We currently do not carry one for this year make and model. If it is the same size, and everything seems identical, you may be okay with the swap.

[@GMCSAFWA]

is it gonna matter if the engines are different. Mine is 4.7 and the one I found for 2008 with Hemi engine

[@briarpatch_kid2755]

Could you show me pictures of the hose.s side few of them 2008 dodge 1500 thanks .out standing video.

[@korbincarroll4472]

Who else was checking out the custom flow master on this HEMI 😂

[@BigD1395]

Taking the air box off of it is not needed. Other than that great vid.

[@1AAuto]

+BigD1395 Thanks for the feedback!

[@quintonmitchell8033]

Can you help me with the specific name of the part on the gas tank on min:6.46? thanks

[@marlborodpte1111]

Do you guys sell the fuel tank for a 07 ram 1500 4.7 I didn't find any information in your website

[@michaelbailey4442]

Why do you remove the air box?

[@upnorth181]

I'm in need of a 26 gallon fuel tank for a 2005 dodge ram.

[@ms.raughtmckinley8899]

Would a 26 gallon fuel tank work in my 04 tank which is 34 gallons? I'm having a huge problem finding a 34 gallon tank to replace in my 04 dodge ram 1500. I found a 96 fuel tank that's the same length as my 04, but I'm concerned it's second gen vs third gen and may not work.

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hello Did you ever locate a fuel tank. Did A1Auto have one ? Thank you

[@RailheadEd]

Do you guys have a fix for the 2009 RAM? I noticed the attachment points on the frame for the straps on this truck are open. On the 2009 they are closed. Mine has rusted clear through and allowed the straps to pull through the frame. Dropping the front of the tank. It's being held up by a ratchet strap temporarily.

+Edward Dowdy Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this in mind for future repairs. www.1AAuto.com?KZbin&CTA%20Comment& 866-403-3393

[@trevorwagner3396]

i wish the job i did was as glorified as this one, the truck i worked on was covered in mold and dirt and god knows what else on top of the fuel tank. easy job but it was messy

[@TransientMobile]

Hello, do you guys know if there is a replacement part for the vent pice at 8:27 that the vent line is connected to? I broke mine and need to replace it. Do I need a whole new tank?

[@1AAuto]

+Transient Mobile You may be able to purchase one from your local dealer. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@nef003]

Mine was also broken. I grabbed a piece of rubber clear tube about 2 inches long and cleaned the area with alcohol and tissue. I then used super glue sticks in 15 second and cures in 15 minutes. I then attached the broken nipple to the end of the clear tube; also with crazy glue. The end result was better than expected. no more gas cap warning and no more p0455 P0456 P0457. Hope it helps.

[@Franktank0911]

I have no idea why you would waste all that time to bleed off fuel pressure there when as you drop the tank you could release it at the pump 😡

[@blue6023]

Do you know where I can find the plastic cover at 6:42?

[@cesarestrada2745]

Is this the same concept as a 2013 Dodge Ram?

[@1AAuto]

+Cesar Estrada The steps may not be 100% the same, but might contain an adequate amount of information necessary for accomplishing this task

[@cesarestrada2745]

Got it done with your video! Thanks!

[@ronazan87]

can you help me with the specific name on the electrical wire box on min 1:04. thanks.

[@1AAuto]

+Alcyone89 Thanks for watching! That is just part of the engine harness, no specific name for it. 1aauto.com

[@ronazan87]

1A Auto Parts thank you. do you happen to sale it? if so, send me a link.

[@1AAuto]

+Alcyone89 Unfortunately we do not carry the part.

[@cmac9029]

Would this work the same for an 02 ram 1500 4.7L?

[@1AAuto]

+C Mac We currently do not have an auto repair video specific to your vehicle. You might be able to apply some of the basic steps shown in this video to your application.

[@joshrice2057]

Do you ever get your pump switched out on you 02 4.7? Do I need to remove the bed to do it or? Any help would be much appreciated

[@chrisgpoe9412]

Not for 02 Dodge ram. Too many fittings are different. They are much more complicated. Not trolling just fyi
