Im havin issues with my truck now again.....the deal is it started back in august where it would turn over but not crank id take the fuel capo off turn the ignition on and off a few times and it would crank and run......whats buggin me is im thinkin its the fuel pump but in the past after i got it started i could still haul ass and smoke tires it wouldnt miss a beat....it just decided to give out completly today.....fuel issue maybe? any ideas would be appreciated.

Taking the gas cap off wouldn't help the fuel pump. When you turn the key to run before running the starter, the fuel pum should run for a few seconds. This should di this every time you turned the key to run from off, even over and over. When you have the problem, turn the key off and back to the run position. You'll hear the pump run a few seconds.

Well i know ill be replacin the pump this week. Will i be able to drop the tank a few inches and get it out or will i have to drop the tank all the way?

Bert

You'll have to drop it all the way. You have to clean around the area to make sure dirt doesn't drop in the tank. At the shop, we've rased the bed and didn't drop the tank if they were full. If you have someone crank the engine while you bang the bottom of the tank with a pice of 2x4, sometimes it'll start running for a while to move it where you want to work on it, also to use some of the gas. Change the filter too.
