Not just Dodge. Chevrolet does it on the Cavalier also.
I imagine this is common practice these days.

not at all after you get the bed off. You need to use the hammer and chisel methold. Kinda like opening a stubborn jar. It spins counter clockwise, pull it replace it, reconnect the wires and you are done. Simple for the most part.

how do you know if youre fuel pump is going bad? i have a 99 dakota sport and it hesitates when first starts and if you stall it you have to hold it to the floor and crank until it catches almost like it floods. could it maybe be the pressure reg./

we just put in a fuel pump on a 94 3.9 liter v6 and i was wonderin how many volts were commin out of the harness at the pump. i was also wondering how many wires should test hot at the harness. i am not a machanic but we try to doit ourselfs to save the labor charge.i do beleave that there was 5 wires and only 1 tested hot. at the relay 3 out of 5 tested hot so does that mean that there is a wiring problem somewhere along the way or does only 1 at the harness only test hot.

1996 Dodge dakota 2 wheel drive , V6 3.9 liter fuel pump problems. Pulled box off replaced fuel pump. Went to try it and no start , dumped fuel down the throttle body and would start until it runs out of the gas i dumped in. Now i tested the distrubution bow for fuel pump relay and tested 9 volts , went to fuel pump and tested 9 volts. Which wire should be hot and what should be the proper voltage? And i hear there my be common wire promblems at the distrubution box . Which wire should i be looking for to be shorted out? And should i have 12 volts right from the battery to the relay box and back to fuel pump ? Please someone help i'm getting frustrated with it.

I've heard it's easier to remove the bed... it's like remove 6 or 8 bolts and unplug the wires that run under the truck (taillights and such) and then it takes 2 or 3 people to lift the bed off. Sure beats bench pressing the fuel tank and/or having to worry about draining the gas and refilling it.

When I do mine, I'll just drive the tank until it's empty. I don't care, lowering a tank is a hell of a lot less hassle than getting 3 people to help you remove your freakin' bed!

You know, you got a point... they say running out of gas is hell on your fuel pump, but if you're changing it, then it really doesn't matter, does it? lol

all you need to remove the bed is two peoople and an engine lift. use the lift to support the rear and set the front on the rear tires. it is real easy
