Well let me know when, and I guess I will be helping you drop the tank.Quote:

Yes, that will work but it since it never gets to the regulator it only spills a small amount of fuel and then will cut off. Thats what we were doing before we found out about the valve.Quote:

Get a fuel pump (around $300 locally! :( ) and put it in.I have my bro checking to see if he can save me some money and dropship me one.Quote:

Hey Sammm,
Stupid question, but did you put a voltmeter on the wires going to the fuel pump to see if it's getting power?
Maybe you have a bad relay instead...

How much gas you got in the tank? When my fuel pump died on my::turd:: Suburban, I had just filled up the day before. 44 gallon tank. Even after siphoning out as much as possible, it still weighed a ton. Had to use a floor jack to drop it.Quote:

It's around 1/4 tank right now (25 gallon max). I was already planning on using the floor jack to drop it and put it back in.Quote:

New fuel pump is in (and new fuel filter for good measure). She's running like a top again! ::Banana::
Sweet!! How bad of a job was it??Quote:

Angle out the old pump, drop in the new one. I used a 2nd floor jack and 2 jack stands to raise it and hold it back in place while I put the straps back on.
I probably spent just as long fighting the stupid fuel filter bracket as I did replacing the pump. ::Rant::
Oh yeah, the cheesy plastic fuel line disconnect tool package. That's where I wasted most of my time.
I thought only Jeeps were prone to spinning like that... Glad to hear you're up and running!Quote:
