I commented on part 1, I asked the question, "Do you really think this would be easier than just dropping the fuel tank?". Well, after replacing a few fuel pumps on a few cars and after watching this video I can answer my own question. Yes, this is much easier than pumping the fuel out of your tank, disconnecting your fuel filler neck, jacking ur truck up high enough to do the job & putting it on Jack stands, laying on your back & getting dirt in your eyes while taking the bolts out of the straps, getting dirt in your eyes while lowering the tank, pulling it out from under your truck, changing out the old fuel sending unit for a brand new Chineseum fuel sending unit, then sliding the fuel tank back under your truck, lifting the tank back up into position while getting dirt in your eyes, bolting the tank up with the straps while getting dirt in your eyes, bolting the tank straps up while getting dirt in your eyes, & then connecting the fuel filler neck.

I tried today to do this. Was all set with the 16 and 18" 2x4". Thing about it is, my truck is a 2011 Colorado. We picked up the side of the bed and it would not raise higher than 10". I left right side bolts in lose but I think they still prevented it from tipping the way its designed. Perhaps bolts on colorado are different than the c1500. Next thing was to remove the bed with the tractor. After removing the bed, We twisted the fuel sending line a tad and gas starting spurting out. That rusted!. I am off Wed and will try to remove the lines. If they wont remove, then order new ones. Looking at truck with bed off, I see that the truck most likely will have a good three more years until it rust out. Cant see it living past 13 total years. oh well. When I go car/truck shopping in 3 years, I wont buy a truck. Reason is, they don't rust proof frames of new ones. In fact, at the dealership, one can see rust already on the frames. Its built in via engineering I guess. IN New England, they use pure salt now.

I don't even need to replace a fuel pump but this man knows how to get it done. One thing I would like to add, and should have been said, probably best to siphon out all of the gas from that fuel tank first. Gasoline is nothing to play with, highly volatile, and made me wary around that lamp he had near by. Even one static spark and your life will never be the same. You stand a better chance with diesel fuel, but pump gas is DANGEROUS.

D-Ray good vid. I have a 95 Chevy Silverado, I've owned it since new and have put 3 fuel pumps in to. The first 2 I just bough the pump from Auto Zone. On the 3rd one I got the complete assembly, this is the only way to go. Spend the extra bucks and in the end you won't have to go back inside. I had help with my brother, we moved the bed back to the rear of the vehicle. I needed the room. Like you I had a lot of gas in the pig. Been lucky so far, the complete unit has lasted longer than just the pump. Good vid. GM and the other companies have a shitty design with the pump inside of the tank. They could have installed a electric pump next to the frame rail that would make replacement easier.
