Well the fuel pump went, or is on the way out. Code 44 is what fault light says. O2 sensor is fine, computer to engine ground is fine, low fuel psi. Good thing it idles and drives enough to get it in the shop. At 1,500 rpm it falls flat. Thank God this didnt happen last week during a 5 hour round tripper to Whichita Falls to get a V8 K frame and LCAs for my sons barracuda. I knew i was on borrowed time.
Anyhow everything this week is conspiring against me. Wifes 2012 grand caravan fuel pump quit. Got to pull out interior and stow n go **** to change the pump, ummm no thanks i will get you a Mopar pump from my jobber, and pay your labor. Anyhow wifes driving my daily driver chevy HHR while vans getting fixed. Now My pump in truck goes out.
That being said this is also a damn good excuse to pull the bed off, knock out the small dents, and fix 2 pulled through spot welds in the bed box floor prior to getting it spray in linered. And install the 2" drop hangars while the bed is off. I am actually thinking of pulling the back bumper, and leaving the rear 2 bolts loosely installed and just lifting the front up to gain access with my chain hoist.
So i got these bell tech leaf spring lowering mounts from a GMT400 list member 2 years ago. Cant remember who. I am assuming these bumpers in the kit replace my existing axle bumpers on the frame. I will be ordering the upper shock mount kit to do all this with the bed out of the way. The bolts w spacers in the pic are actually for a 4" drop combined with a helwig G tech rear sway bar. I installed years ago. I installed the bar with the longer bolts and spacers for a 0-2 drop.
I plan on drilling out these rivets with 3/8" cobalt drill bits and using a chisel and a punch to get them out. Any better way besides a torch?
Fuf, fun, fun this weekend
