I never realized what an easy job this is. I just need to install a lift and buy a transmission jack. Simple!

[@jamesball2652]

Well I got the job done but doing it while laying on the ground is not fun but I had to do what I had to do, thanks for the pointers guys it did help.

[@ronhampe]

If I had a lift this video would be great. I have also found from watching some of your other videos that you conveniently fast forward when installing the hard to reach parts.

[@Grumpygus94]

Step 1: buy a lift

[@raymerck7979]

I took the bed off to get mine out I definitely advise you pop the for bolts out and take the bed off it gives a lot more room

[@biff314]

Of course the range of years was provided as those years have many similarities. What was not identified that would be helpful is the model year they are working on in this video. Early on, judging by the mirror, the truck is a 1994 model or older. I believe that after 1997? ... GM changed the fuel connections to quick connects which requires a completely different set of tools (if you want to keep from damaging the fittings) in order to disconnect the hose fittings from the tank. Then it may be a surprise if dropping your tank using this video.

[@markmoore4088]

Seems like replacing the old rubber hoses would be smart while its out.

[@Gabriel-ib8lt]

You guys make great videos, thank you

[@americanwhiteboy715]

Would love to know if this would fit my 96 Chevy Tahoe k1500 5.7 l SUV factory one is discontinued

[@kenshobby5191]

This guy sounds like Chris Fix. Great video!

[@Fishinaroundtn]

My tank I ordered doesn’t have the flange that the lock ring locks In already attached to the tank but has it separate. How can I install that outer flange into the tank ? Epoxy or ?

[@linolemus610]

I have a 2001 it’s a one year difference, would this fit?

[@vileloxter62]

What is the hanging ground cable for in 16:10 ? Mine is ripped hanging will it effect anything

[@gerlandkent6377]

thank, you for you're video.🙏

[@tnbasscat]

What size bolt did you use...

[@terrydawkins9936]

Excellent very clear,,,,makes it look s easy

[@mjadams4272]

6:22 into the video - what's going on in those safety glasses? Foggy much?

[@Henrylxt]

What part number is the fill hose for the stepside?

[@danielgatto5500]

Will this video apply to a 1999 k2500?

[@donaldbattle4]

great vid but only if i had a lift it would make it so much easier

[@alis4700]

[@dukedawg2288]

Nice video clear and concise 😊

[@gerlandkent6377]

I've got a 1989, GMC 1500 4x4 short bed TRUCK. 350 vortex

[@bannoch]

My fuel gauge reads above full and doesn’t move, I was wondering if the ground wire for the tank would cause that or the wiring from the tank

[@donp2474]

I just saw another video about this and he did say that if your fuel gauge always shows over full that it is the ground wire.

[@paulwickey1688]

I was wondering that too, because I have the same exact issue.

[@camdenboyle7551]

First what else is being replaced on this truck?

[@johnboyreynolds401]

Guys my gas gauge don't work. I filled up Friday, pumped 30 and a half gallons. I was running on fumes lol

[@oldbiker9739]

at least GM had steel lines right in to the pump , to day they use plastic lines in the tank to the pump that crack or blow off , Q C is out to lunch , never by an other pump but AC Delco or Delphi . ask me I know .

[@trinityrussell7932]

Anyone know what size the nut on the inside of the frame is for the first bolt he took off with the 15mm?

[@gerardoduran9066]

That's a C-clip with a nut welded to it. In other words it's a two in one that goes clipped onto the the chassis frame, if you lost that C-clip,, you can always check your local junk yard for one or see if you can find one online. Best of luck.

[@SPRDAVE]

i wanted to see how you remounted that dam bracket wtf 2nd one you showed and was it option to replace weird

[@TheseBygones]

Just part it out bro

[@johnboyreynolds401]

I have a 91 gmc

[@alexanderstefanxandraswedi5835]

Great

[@treybutler3766]

How do you do it without lift 😂

[@montanamaxim9293]

Step one- be a man and do it your self.

[@gerlandkent6377]

if I ever have to go THREW this I'm just going to cut a hole in the bed floor.
