Got a Fuel Pump question

vld:

Haynes manual is available at AutoZone (and elsewhere) for about twenty bucks. Excellent instructions with lots of pictures. Your local public library may offer AllData, too, so you can get an on-line removal/installation procedure for the pump there.

Don't you have to drop the tank to get access to the pump? If so, you'll need to drain the tank. Maybe the Tahoe has access under the rear seats or trunk area and you won't have to drop the tank?

HTH,

I prefer Chilton's over Haynes (just my opinion). I can usually find things easier in one over the other. But, either is much better than not having one.

When disassembling the fuel pump basket, be careful with the sending unit. It's easily damaged. Consider performing a function test before taking it apart and again after putting it together. Measure the resistance between a pole and the center wipe as the float arm is moved. Check it at a couple of spots. Should stay about the same after the repair.

Would be a shame to get it all back together only to find out that the gas guage doesn't work.
