You had me at “Don’t buy any tools made by Chevy or GM, man get outta here “ 😂 You are a Legend for this! Thank you Bro!

Used this video of yours on a North Face trim level Avalanche from '03. Worked like a charm to cut exactly where I needed to, only fun on my end is the pump didnt come with new o-rings and clips for the lines to reattach, thankfully I keep a set of metric and SAE o-rings on hand, otherwise, worked insanely well, all I had was a dremel myself, so took a bit but lord, my buddy says the Avalanche hasnt run or shown the power it does now since he bought it 130k miles, and 7 years ago. Much appreciated you posted this and made those spot welds the reference for the back end!

Thank u so much for the video!!! Saved me 1200 😂. Youre the goat

2 years later and this shit is still super helpful! Thanks bro!🔥

I just tried this in my 2004 Chevy Avalanche and it works like a charm! thank you sooo much. My gas tank is full as hell lol

@levicallis459 Not mad about anything. Cutting the floor up is LITERALLy A HACK JOB. It's not how it's supposed to be removed, and there's plenty of good reason why its not removed like that such as the possibility of gas fumes leaking into the cabin of the vehicle. Most fuel tanks come out rather easily. A good technician shouldn't struggle with removing a fuel tank, I can typically get them out in under 20 mins. Unfortunately, people like you can't accept that working on the modern automobile is beyond their skill level, so if anybody is mad here, it's you. 600 dollar labor on a fuel tank removal? You got screwed. The fuel pump is typically the most expensive part of the job, not the labor. You sound like a backyard hack who half asses everything, mad at the fellow working man for being paid based on their knowledge, skill, and tools. I'm a better technician than you could ever dream of being, chump.

@levicallis459 you make an awful lot of assumptions. I've done this job on the ground. Still done in under an hour without cutting the floor board up. 🙃 How many people do you think are really going to make a door for the hole they just made in their floor, since they're too lazy to remove the tank the correct way? I wonder how many of these clowns ended up cutting a fuel line and fixed it with a compression fitting that will most likely leak? 🤔 latest tools? When did snap on come out with the fuel tank removal tool? I've got lots of tools, but they're not much different than what anyone else has, except for the quality of them. Quit being so butthurt my guy, if you were so good, then why are you not working as an automotive tech? Probably because you're a parts changer, a crappy one at that. The diagnostic process is where automotive technicians make their money, which would require more brain cells than you obviously have. 🙄

You are the best thanks for the great info man you save me a lot of money. Thank you very much. Good Energy

I wish mine looked like that when I dropped the tank on my 2005 Avalanche, my fuel pump didn't die, the top rusted out on it and was leaking, and I spent a lot of time getting the rusted lines off the pump. And that ring that was holding the pump in was also a rusted mess so I replaced that as well. Since the pump didn't die, I was able to run the truck until it was pretty much empty. I live in the north where there is a lot of salt / deicer that wreaks havoc on vehicles. After I installed the new pump, I sprayed Amsoil Metal protector on the metal parts to slow down / avoid the rusting issue again.

getting my fuel filter done trmw its just died today. but when the time comes to get the fuel pump done i just might need to do this. Caddy should of made that fuel pump location an actual access port. instead of having to drop the gas tank from underneath. dam the more you know

I assume this would be the same on a 2004 yukon Denali xl?

I appreciate it. You got me together and I'm driving now.

This video and the comment section highlights why some people shouldn't be allowed to repair anything. As an automotive tech with many year in the industry, I have found plenty of "shortcuts" and have taken advantage of them. That being said, if your shortcut involves butchering new part or cutting the vehicles floor, then its not a shortcut but a hackjob. The time it took this guy to cut a hole in the floor, an experienced tech would have had the tank out, and back in.

I wasnt looking forward to dropping my tank with the welds on the bolts broken so i did this, a little off with my measurements but it should still come out. Just to get the ring off and piece out of the line that broke

Thank you, thank you and thank you save my life and $$$$$$

Did you use the new rewire that came with the pump or the same plug from old

Need to more videos lol you would a ton of subscribers lol

I did this to my 2012 Cadillac SRX. Of course it's a different vehicle so I had to cut a different spot, two in fact as the Cadi has a pump and sending unit separate. You would not believe the amount of work you otherwise have to do to drop the fuel tank, including taking the entire exhaust off the car. The government loves to mandate things to car manufacturers, they should mandate that all cars have access doors under seat to fuel pump.

Great work 🦾

Will this works on my 2007 Escalade?

Can you confirm the year of your EXT? 2003 or 2004? I should have seen it coming with mine because the last couple starts took more cranking than normal to start and before I parked leaving me stranded it felt like it cut out a couple times (no power) while driving. The GMC car gods must have been angered because I replaced the broken oil pressure sensor 2 days prior to the pump quitting. Thanks

my truck got stolen before. i wonder if i can do this as a theft deterrent to unplug the fuel pump wire and add a locking mechanism on top at the cut out. Can't start no fuel.

Nice video, if you don't usually fill your tank up that's probably why it went. Just curious how many miles on truck

Perfect.

The shirt says it all

2006 Suburban is different, pump is @ 3” further back and 3” closer to Center of vehicle. Requires cutting out 1/2 way across one side of floor brace for pump to clear. I used air powered jig saw ( panel saw) with metal plate over tank for protection shield.

So are you saying a 07 wouldnt be the same?
