How to replace a fuel pump in a 2003 Chevy Silverado| Step By Step

[@billb.3265]

Good video man! I did mine at work and lifted the bed with a forklift on chains haha I never knew it was so easy to take off. A couple pointers though....you don't explain where the connectors are for the lights. Just that they're under the truck and can't really tell where you're at by the camera. Maybe take the bolts out for the filler tube last so there's not a bunch of pressure on the plastic clip, and they won't break as easy.

Right on i will pin this to to top of the comment so others can get this info as well thanks for watching!

These gen3 trucks were designed to be fixed by the owners. They don't make em like that anymore. Thanks for this video, it helps a lot!

I used your video to change out my fuel pump in my 03 - just wanted to say thank you so much for making the video - my only question was about the battery to disconnect or not - I did just to be on the safe side - again thank you and God Bless you 🙏🏾

The first fuel pump assembly you'd purchased that wouldn't work for your model, is the pump assembly for the 2006 Silverado 1500 WT extended cab with a 6.5ft bed, I just replaced one that came from Delphi, part # FG0340.

[@alanwylie8960]

The process of replacing the fuel pump assembly in all the 99 to 2006 Chevy Silverado gasoline engines is basically the same, but the fuel pumps are a different design, depending on which sub-model and bed length you have.

Great video! Good visuals and instructions. Thanks! The hardest part was rounding up enough folks to move the bed back out of the way.

Great video. That looks a lot easier and clearer then dropping the tank. 👍

I really like doing it this way over dropping the tank! Thanks for watching!

[@cesarandino3555]

Question my truck seems to bog when i give it any throttle. If i baby it it seems to go just fine would this be a fuel pump issue?

[@boostedz72]

@@cesarandino3555 most likely not the fuel pump it is possible but could be clogged cat or bad mass air flow sensor or clogged fuel filter!

[@craigwilliamson9041]

Do you unhook the battery cable before or does it matter

[@boostedz72]

@@craigwilliamson9041 ya it is good practice to unhook the battery what working with anything electrical great comment!!

[@towleybandito11]

About to do this today and I was curious of when I should change the fuel filter 🤔 Should I do it when the fuel pump is disconnected, or connected? Or does it not matter 🤷‍♂️

[@boostedz72]

You can do it first and it will help relieve pressure from the lines and may help with removing the line. From the fuel pump but ether way is fine!

The biggest problem, not mentioned here, can be rusty bolts in getting the bed off.

That is very true!
