Your video is very informative,the tips helped out tremendously. But yeah thanks for being so thorough this was the best video of all I watched about changing out fuel pump..

[@KReesethebeast]

Thank you I am glad it was helpful

[@TheShnozz]

I don’t know shit about being a mechanic but I just dropped my tank!! 💯💯

[@KReesethebeast]

Nice!

[@outdoorzone]

Another way to check the pump is spray a little starting fluid in the throttle body...if it tries to start it’s a bad fuel pump as well! Thx for sharing and the tips!!

[@KReesethebeast]

You are right! That certainly will rule out a spark/timing issue.

[@victorbunch7725]

Apiece of pltwood works great to roll a floor jack on!

[@tycrane5573]

I love you my brother thank you

[@KReesethebeast]

No problem

[@hanthony440]

Using some ratchet straps under the tank And tied to the truck frame would help lift the tank high enough to get your jack safely under The tank Plus it acts as a safety Incase the tank slip off the jack while lifting or lowering it..

[@KReesethebeast]

Good tip!

[@joshlionbjj]

Man.. been working on trucks and cars and boats my whole life. You made a really cool entertaining helpful teaching video here.. I am impressed.. Thank you

[@KReesethebeast]

I am glad this helped you out!!!

[@jeffmiloanonimity5758]

thank you. god loves a working man. I am a machinist and am going to help out a friend and change his pump. I did not know about the pressure valve top side. No pressure allowed me to know I was fixing the problem.After watching your video I just used the cherry picker and took off the bed. Dont know if one way is easier than the other. Just too tall to get up and down 500 times. Thank you sir

[@KReesethebeast]

Glad to help!

[@eighthof8]

This is the best pump replacement vid on youtube. Thank you for taking the time to show all the steps in detail. My '97 has almost 200,000. Hoping I won't have you use your tips, but will be ready in case it happens.

[@KReesethebeast]

That is great to hear! Glad this has helped you.

[@normschippers9278]

Thanks for your good help I am 89 year old aircraft mech and I now think I will take it to auto garage.

[@unobtainium13]

Excellent video! I followed your instructions to change out my pump this weekend. Perfect! The only thing I did different was to lower the tank, with a jack, onto two raised 2x4s that supported the front and back of the tank. This made it an easy one man job. Thanks again!

[@KReesethebeast]

+Brian Harrison Hey I'm glad this video helped you. That was a good idea you had. I will empty the next tank of fuel next time I do this job for sure. It will make things much easier. I had a really tough time doing it by myself with all that gas in it. Thanks for watching.

[@stevegordy2226]

Great Video...my 2001 fuel pump just quit working. Plan on changing mine this weekend.

[@KReesethebeast]

awesome sounds great glad it helped you and thanks for watching.

[@gord2358]

Yes! A tow truck driver banged on my tank to get the fuel pump working temporarily. I was then able to drive a mile to the closest shop to get it replaced.

[@KReesethebeast]

Great job!

[@outdoorzone]

I’ve heard people say you can just lower the front of tank and you can remove fuel pump! Not for sure...but I’m gonna try that method next! I tried removing my bed but that was an epic fail due to the bed bolts were all seized up with rust!

[@KReesethebeast]

Yeah dropping the tank was easy, but next job I do, I will try to drain the tank first, or at least get a tranny jack under it and a flat surface.

[@rogerorielly4564]

I planning on changing my tank soon due to a a leak and this video is very informative. I'm gonna run the tank down to as low on fuel as possible first.

[@KReesethebeast]

Dang sorry to hear that. I'm glad it helped you and thanks for watching.

[@DominikueHarris]

my pump just went this video has helped a lot

[@KReesethebeast]

I'm glad it has helped you. Thanks for watching.

[@ToiletBowl]

Thank you so much for the knowledge & tips. You truly are a blessing for this. I appreciate you and wish you well !

[@KReesethebeast]

Thank you so much for the positivity and kind words. We need more exchanges like this between humans in this day and time. I am glad this has helped you. Take care.

[@THEGAME-tz6yu]

Cool.

[@KReesethebeast]

thnx

[@ridgerunner2371]

Excellent video. Followed your directions and had no problem replacing the fuel pump on a 2000 F150. Thanks for posting!

[@KReesethebeast]

I am glad this video served its purpose. Thank you for the positive comment, and take care. Please like and subscribe if you have not already.

[@mikepatrick6596]

Excellent Video.you give info on what to check first before changing fuel pump. Good Job. I am about to change mine.

[@KReesethebeast]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the subscription. I appreciate the positive feedback as well. Be safe when changing yours.

[@michaelbriggs3102]

K Reese, you did a fantastic job with the video. I have a 2001 Super Crew, and have already had to replace the fuel pump 2.5 years ago and am having to do it again tomorrow. Probably should be using OEM parts, but not sure how much longer I am keeping it (292K miles on her already). I found that removing the bed is necessary and since the tank is under the extended part of the truck (rear seats), I have to drop the tank too. But, I only dropped the tank enough to roll it to the back of the truck (supported by two floor jacks), disconnect the lines and plug, replace the pump, and reinstall the tank. Takes two people, but it's fairly quick.

[@KReesethebeast]

Michael Briggs thank you very much for watching I'm glad it helped you. Yeah I went with the Airtex fuel pump I have seen good reviews on them in Auto Parts magazines. I am curious as to how long my pump will last, but not looking forward to finding out anytime soon if you know what I mean haha. Take care.

[@mlutz90]

Tapped the fuel tank with a rubber mallet on my 2000 4.6 she fired right up! Thank You

[@KReesethebeast]

Alright! Glad this helped you! Please subscribe! Follow me on Instagram @realkevinreese

[@tycrane5573]

I quoted you

[@KReesethebeast]

thanks

[@foreignwhipcrasher7388]

Lol I replaced it on my dads truck, crusty ass hoses were hard to take off. And I’m a pretty skinny guy the tank was heavy as shit

[@KReesethebeast]

Yes it is a difficult job to do alone!

[@outdoorzone]

What size tool fit the 2 fuel lines to release them??

[@KReesethebeast]

I used a special tool just for fuel lines. I show the same tool in my other video where I replaced the fuel pump on this truck, and you have to use it to disconnect the fuel lines to the tank.

[@donaldmitchell2390]

Great video Kevin. Very informative. Thanks

[@KReesethebeast]

Glad this helped you! Please subscribe to my channel to help me out! Take care.

[@Scotty82ND]

I'm fixin to do this on my truck, same as yours 01 F150. Great video, it was nice to see someone do it before I did.

[@KReesethebeast]

Scotty82ND I'm glad this video helped to prepare you, that was my goal. Thanks for the sub

[@STEVEN-STEELE]

If you hear the fuel pump working and your filter seems ok. Do the fuel rail pressure test. If it acts like the pump is bad. Meaning just a trickle of fuel comes out of the test point.. But the pump comes on strong and hard. On Ford Trucks. I'm not sure all the years. But I know 04 and on. Has what they called a Fuel pressure driver module.Not sure how long they used it. Located back on the frame rail above the spare. It's not hard to find it has a electrical connection with a silver colored back this will probably be very ugly and oxidized and black plastic cover. It's held on by two screws or bolts. This is a design flaw. The silver but pitted with ugly white pits. Of the case is aluminum and when in contact with steel and especially in wet locations. The steel and Aluminum react. The Aluminum actually begins to oxidize to the point it rots..It will probably be so bad the metal has split if missing a chunk or two of the aluminum case. This of course exposed the printed circuit board to the elements. Causing soldier points to go bad if not eventually short it out. This will cause the very same low fuel pressure at the fuel rail. As this regulates the fuel pumps pressure output. You would think if EFI vehicles only needed a pump and a Throttle position sensor to tell the computer how much air and there fore fuel is needed. Without this thing. They would of left it be. Now they added a module that cost about as much as the blame pump itself. It's works fine boys. Ok let's add something in the system it never needed before. Yeah let's do that. Let's mount the electronic bastard way in the rear away from the rest of the fuel system. Oh you'll love this. Let's make it out of aluminum so it's what is called dissimilar metals that rot when in contact. Ohh Boy we got this 😄

[@KReesethebeast]

Got to love the engineers! Thanks for the information on that one!

[@STEVEN-STEELE]

@@KReesethebeast Iv come to the conclusion my buddies.01 F150s Fuel pump sock may be clogged. The fuel pump comes on and sounds strong. It will start and while still in park. You can Run the RPMs up as high as you like. No sputtering nothing. Put it in gear and the power falls so low it will stall if you keep pedal to it. It doesn't have the FPD module. I changed the Filter. The engine was just swapped in after the Triton went out. It's now a standard 4.6L taken from a doner F150. After the filter the same problem. It felt like a vacuum leak. The TPS has one of those runner 90% PCV hoses that is split and what looks like a Brake Booster hose off the top most of the intake. Was split and actually collapsed on itself. I'm going to replace these tomorrow. But if it doesn't respond. I'll have to drop the take. Even with the pump working The truck sat. Idk how long. I don't smell varnish. But it doesn't mean the tank hasn't got thick sludge. My buddy who I told to make sure he grabbed a couple gas cans and put ten to fifteen gallons in it before driving it home. Of course he didn't listen and drive it with the hand below E to the station. So that sock probably sucked God knows what into it's mesh. He then put ten bucks in it I told him he should of put more. ten bucks isn't much I'm that long tank. Anyhow I'll do the pressure rail test. I told him to be ready to get a pump. He said but it's working. I told him true but it's sat. If I need to drop the tank just to replace the sock. I promised him that pump would probably crap out soon. The milage on its Odometer it 400K. So while the tanks down. Go ahead and buy basically it's the same one you bought. I just helped my Bro in-law put one from them in their Escalade. That life time warranty though a bit more money is worth it. So I'm gonna hate the next few days. Fortunately I have access to a.couple of floor jacks. The tank doesn't have the shield. Least I didn't notice it. Oh those Fuel line connectors. If you don't have the wrench. One can cut a sharpie marker lid down and split it to fit over the line. It was a bit of a hassle but it worked. The Plastic kit I had bought didn't last very long. Have a Good one Brother

[@angelaw1357]

Great Details - THANKS

[@KReesethebeast]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ths4168]

how can i just test the voltage to the pump to make sure its not electrical ? how much was the pump ?

[@KReesethebeast]

A good way to do that is to just run a jump wire from the battery directly to the pump that way you know the pump is good or bad, or you can put a meter on the pump and check the voltage. I think the pump was between 100 and 250 bucks maybe.

[@luiscardoza8633]

Wow really great video !!!

[@KReesethebeast]

Thanks for watching glad this helped you!

[@outdoorzone]

How’s the pump holding up? What brand??

[@KReesethebeast]

It was an Airtech or Airtex I cannot recall the exact spelling but it is still running strong I still have the truck runs like a champ never had any issues and it has been several years.

[@KReesethebeast]

thank you I'm glad you found this video helpful and thank you for watching

[@desertdog3392]

Hey thanks for the vid, getting ready to do just this. Another thing, however, you should add is that apparently on these high mileage fords it is common that the inertia cut off switch trips or goes bad sometimes. It has been common to replace the fuel pump when in reality a push of the button or hot-wiring would have fixed the prob. It didn't work on mine, so I guess I have to fire up my 350 and head to town to get a fuel pump. I figure after 388, 000 miles it finally died.

[@KReesethebeast]

that's good info thanks for including that. I was not aware of this, hopefully it woop help someone else out.

[@phillipmeredith7669]

Actually u need to disconnect battery because u can fry the computer in it by leaving it connected

[@KReesethebeast]

Good idea to always disconnect the negative from the battery when doing any kind of work that involves electrical components.

[@tracymedina169]

Yes we trying to do it on my car want the name of the tools

[@KReesethebeast]

Any name brand will work.

[@AdvBrewery]

Well, starting the fuel tank removal today. Wish me luck! Should have it done by tom when I get my fuel line disconnect tool.

[@KReesethebeast]

That's great! How did it go have you finished it yet?

[@InTheFleshInc]

I cut a access panel in truck bed males life much easier. Just Make sure you cover upper tank with a flame retarndent while using a cutting grinder to cut opening after wards add hindges and a small turn lock and done.

[@KReesethebeast]

That would make things easier. I like having a bed without a hole in it. I am not planning on ever changing that pump again if it lasts as long as the factory pump.

[@InTheFleshInc]

@@KReesethebeast, Well my 2001 ford f150 5.4 has 400,000 miles on it and I have changed the fuel pump twice.

[@KReesethebeast]

@@InTheFleshInc Oh wow. Must be about a 200k mile lifespan on those things then huh. If mine can make it to 400k then I will gladly put another pump in if it needs it.

[@InTheFleshInc]

@@KReesethebeast Best wishes hoping you do get another 200K, Im happy with my 18 year old Ford.

[@KReesethebeast]

@@InTheFleshInc I personally know of an old farmer with one who has 360k on original engine and tranny, he parked it because the bed rusted out from all the chemicals in the back of it and then dripped down onto the brakes and lines and he parked it but she still runs. These older 2 valve engines are good, I would stay away from the 3 valves they started doing in 2004. I would however love to have the newer F150 with the 5.0 V8 Coyote engine!

[@lupemartinez8696]

really great viedo and good safety tips would have been nice to hear the truck start

[@KReesethebeast]

Hey thank you for watching and sorry I did not include a startup.

[@kchilz32]

Great video bro. you can also use strong ratchet straps to bring down the tank and raise it back up.

[@KReesethebeast]

kchilz32 Yeah I guess you could do that, and you could also ratchet it back into place also. Good idea thanks for sharing that. Please like and subscribe!

[@stephensimeson3807]

Hi mate how can u tell if your pump relay has gon my van wont start been told it's the pump want check relay first see if it's that thanks Steve from the uk

[@KReesethebeast]

You could test the relay or check the power at the pump. If you have power to the pump when you turn the ignition on and the pump isn't working, the pump is bad. It is most likely the pump that is bad, I am guessing the van has a good bit of miles on it and is older.

[@stephensimeson3807]

Ok I'll check that mate get new relay see if that works it 06 transit with 156000 on clock

[@julioacevedo748]

So god your video , and very explicit.

[@KReesethebeast]

Thank you! Please subscribe to help me out!

[@michaelbuckley2362]

hey there...thanks for the video. VERY helpful. quick question....do you have to have the key turned on when you check that pressure valve on the engine?

[@KReesethebeast]

I'm glad it helped you thanks for watching. No the key does not have to be on. If your fuel pump is working correctly the rail will have pressure on it.

[@michaelbuckley2362]

+K Reese excellent...thanks again. i think this mightbe the problem so i will check it tomorrow when the weather is hopefully a little better. Do you hapen to havea video about how tochange the DPFE/EGR sensor and hoses?

[@KReesethebeast]

+Michael Buckley no I do not have a video of that but subscribe to my channel because there may be one in the future. If you can have someone turn the key to the on position (right before start) that will make sure the line is primed, and also like I said take gas cap off and listen as you turn key. This works best with 2 people.

[@michaelbuckley2362]

Great....thank you. I have suscribed to your channel. I like the detail in which you go into when describing what to do. Makes it easier to understand. Will look forward to future vids.

[@KReesethebeast]

+Michael Buckley Thanks alot I do my best. Thanks for subscribing, and hope everything works out with your project.

[@jamesemendenhall5779]

i just happen to have a 2001 f150 super crew cab, had is since new with 400 mi in 2001. in 2015 it now has 155000 + mi fuel pump went out. i feel lucky. thanks for the video and i am now going to attempt this. i also think i need to replace a front wheel bearing (4x4) axel. have you got a video on that?

[@KReesethebeast]

Thanks for the comment I'm glad this video was helpful. Unfortunately I do not have a video on replacing the wheel bearing as I have not encountered this issue yet. Subscribe to my channel for future videos you may find useful.

[@jamesemendenhall5779]

Anything you can get or do on a '03 crown vic is a good idea to.

[@KReesethebeast]

If I get my hands on one to do anything I'll be sure to post a video. Thanks for the comment.

[@jamesemendenhall5779]

Kool

[@chefjimenez37]

Easier to lift the truck bed off to reach the fuel pump from top instead of dropping the tank down.

[@KReesethebeast]

Yes I debated that for quite some time, but decided to drop the tank since it was just me by myself.

[@gcorpus5558]

Thanks bro. 👊

[@KReesethebeast]

No problem

[@journeyon1983]

Another easy way to do this is to remove the bed of the truck. I think only 6 bolts hold it on. Unbolt the fuel filler (3 bolts), unplug all electrical connectors, three or four in total. Remove bed and then the fuel pump is fully exposed when you look on top of the gas tank. This saves you from having to drop the tank and pulling fuel lines, except for the obvious ones located at the fuel pump. But, either way you do it works just fine.

[@KReesethebeast]

Robert Smith Thanks for sharing that. I considered that option, but decided to go with the tank drop since I was by myself, and I wanted this video to be able to help the guys alone under the tree in the backyard. please like and subscribe!

[@journeyon1983]

K Reese Right. I heard you say that. My post was for others so that they have another option. Thanks for your fuel pump video. It was very detailed and easy to follow. I only wish more people would do that when it comes to DIY projects involving automotive repair.

[@stephenphillips3121]

Robert Smith He is right but the 04 is different I pulled the bed off from experience but found that the pump is under the very back of cab so I still have to drop it

[@nicholaskorner2258]

Robert Smith can you just tilt the bed to access

[@flyumhighloft]

Great job......... happy Holidays

Hey K Reese, I think I may have to do this in the near future. I've been getting quotes for $700 to replace the fuel pump. I know what you're thinking. haha. Hell no! I might as well get a newer truck for that price to replace a fuel pump. I think I'm going to give it try. Great video!

[@Steve-oj7mt]

I have 2002 F150 crew cab but not sure if pulling the bed off will give me access to the fuel pump I think I have to drop the tank

[@KReesethebeast]

You can take the bed off or drop the tank, I opted for the latter due to the fact I was doing this alone.

[@walterpainter2092]

would of been nice to hear the truck start after watching all the hook ups.

[@KReesethebeast]

Sorry I left that part out! I can assure you it did start, and has been running great ever since!

[@thatmama11]

currently sorta stuck out here with my dad. he’s tryna pull the fuel lines out and can’t.. would be awesome if you could reply and help me! A quick facetime would be amazing. If you’re still out there lol

[@KReesethebeast]

I think I helped you! Hope ya'll got it straight!

[@Mr1keykneedeep]

I seen the Chevy guys lift the bed, tilt the bed, remove the bed. Even cutting out a section of the bed to access that pump. Is that possible for the Ford? Or is there a crazy amount of things attached and becomes a major PITA.

[@KReesethebeast]

I have seen that before too. with more people you could lift the bed but I did it by myself so it was easiest for me. Also I wasn't crazy about cutting a hole in my bed. Removing the skid plate and 2 straps was not too hard for one person, but I would definitely drain the tank first. Thanks for watching.

[@xanzoxanv8163]

Hey, great video! I have some of the same issues and I feel like this could be my problem. If you wouldn't mind, could I talk with you about it and have your input? Thanks.

[@KReesethebeast]

I recommend emptying the fuel. It will make the job much easier.

[@xanzoxanv8163]

Okay thanks for the reply. My issue has been when i go to start the engine occasionally, it will fire up and die immediately. Then once i can get it running, I can hear an electric motor sound coming from around the fuel tank, which i assume is the fuel pump. Except it is pretty loud and I have not noticed it before. Any thoughs?

[@KReesethebeast]

Yes you will hear the pump run. Does it drive and run fine at operating temperature? When is the last time you changed the air filter, spark plugs, and added some fuel treatment? That should clear up any rough running on startup.

[@xanzoxanv8163]

Yes it runs fine. and the plugs are boots are only a few months old. going to replace the fuel filter this weekend since its been a while.

[@KReesethebeast]

+Xanzoxan V that's a good idea. if it is old it may be time to change. I hope that helps.

[@Ty-or7sw]

Does the truck have to be on when depressing the gas valve in the engine

[@KReesethebeast]

No it does not have to be on. It should have pressure on the rail after you turn the engine over. See if you can hear the pump prime when the key is in the run position. If you don't hear anything, ther e is an issue with your pump or the power going to it.

[@smoke05s]

OK I spoke too soon. The pump works flawlessly but the level sensor seems to have a problem. The service engine soon light is on at all times. The gas gage is either pinned below empty or is on empty. it can move betwen 1/4 and below empty (it actually has about 3/4 to 1/2. It was really dirty under there and I may have got dirt in one of the connectors. Does this sound like the fuel pump connector or the rear connector?

[@KReesethebeast]

Christopher Young if you have a check engine light I would put a code reader on it and see what it is and clear it that way. As for the level not being correct mine did at first and I turned the ignition off and on and drove the truck around some to make the gas move around in the tank and free that sensor up on that level. It still will not go up with the truck running if you are putting gas in it but if you turn the ignition completely off and turn it back on it reads fine. Hope that helps.

[@smoke05s]

The check engine light was for a small leak in the fuel tank. SO I got a new hose set and I got a new pump but I wanted to make sure all the pins were the same as the stock one. The replacement pump had the same pin out for the pump but the fuel sender was reversed (looking at the connector WIth the release up top The pin to the right is pump +, lower right is fuel sender ground, lower left is pump -, upper left is sender +). I rewired the sender to make the pin out matched the stock pump and it worked. Check engine light is gone and the level is now correct. I did not change the hoses. That means voltage was being sent to the ground which was messing with the pressure sensor. Hope this helps others that got an ebay pump.

[@joshuagood6100]

Do the wrenches come with the purchase of the fuel pump?

[@KReesethebeast]

Joshua Good no they do not. You must purchase separately.

[@laflaka961]

If you don't have the tool to remove the lines I just used a lid frm a sharpie marker and pliers.

[@KReesethebeast]

That is a great idea! Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching this video.

[@laflaka961]

Thank you as well for sharing

so im about to do this to my f150 do i need to jack it up or can i do this underneath?

[@KReesethebeast]

I lowered the tank. Did not have to jack the truck up any if that is what you are asking. Some people remove the bed also. I did not, and it worked out fine for me.

[@slamboney1]

? What do you think it is when I am driving about 30-40, I step on the gas and it putters like the engine is not getting enough gas? I thought it might be a fuel pump going bad.

[@KReesethebeast]

Does it do this only 30-40, and you mean miles per hour I assume?

[@jamestechaira5027]

my truck sputtered when I accelerate. What is the problem . need help thank you

[@KReesethebeast]

Does it miss our sputter at an idle as well? How about at cruising speed, say 55mph? Is it difficult to start?

[@williesmith9255]

The thing is I can hear my fuel pump Prime but my truck been sitting for 3 months so I think it crystallize I may have to get under there and hit the gas tank

[@KReesethebeast]

have you checked your pressure on the fuel rail? If you can hear the pump prime, it is working. If the truck has been sitting like you say, you may just need some fresh gas.

[@stevebuskey9434]

I have a 2000 Ford F150 I have a problem the thing goes up and down on the gas gauge I don't know what the problem is

[@KReesethebeast]

Steve Buskey Have you checked for diagnostic trouble codes?

[@danmac1189]

Great video! Next time open fuse box and point out specific relay and fuses. Thanks for the info.

[@KReesethebeast]

Will do. Thank you for watching I am glad this helped you out.

[@brianveltri3107]

Could you of pulled the bed?

[@KReesethebeast]

+BRIAN VELTRI yes it is possible, however I would not recommend unless you have a lift or a few extra sets of hands. I did it this way because it was just me, and I wanted to be able to help someone out like me who is doing this in their backyard. Thanks for watching.

[@mrmagniffy]

Why not just remove the bed ? easier ! mine is so rusty I may have to cut a hole in the bed ! thanks for the video I appreciate it !

[@KReesethebeast]

I debated on which method would be easier. Maybe I will remove the bed next time, but let's hope I do not have to!

[@mrmagniffy]
