Re: walboro install

Easiest way I know how to do it on a SY is to unbolt the bed on the drivers side completely, then unbolt the pass side half way. Start lifting the drivers side of the bed, get it wedged in place, start removing fuel line connectors and misc stuff like ground. Don't forget to unbolt the filler neck before lifting the bed. Unless you're replacing the fuel lines I would not recommend dropping the tank. A real PITA. G/L

No...but if your doing the pump and have the bed off, you wont have to lay on your back and do it. Its located on the frame rail.... easy to do.

Yup, tilting the bed works well but.. you also have to remove the rear cladding and spare. Otherwise the spare and frame brackets are in the way. (In case that step got missed somewhere.) Easy to do.

If you have an engine hoist you can use it to lift the bed off using cargo straps positioned like an X using the holes in the bed lift from the center.

And make sure to do a couple boost launches without the bed.

Don't forget to pick up a new lock ring for the pump and sending unit. That thing might be thrashed by the time it comes loose. Mine was anyways. :2cents:

Re: walboro install

BTW you might want to pick up a new sending unit while your at it. It comes with a new lock/o-ring that you'll need as others have suggested.
I've had two SYs now and both fuel sending units died on me...$50 insurance while you've got everything apart. Check out rockauto.com They've always been good to me.
