Had a chance to get into the garage today and remove the lift pump, after developing Tourette’s I was able to remove the old pump. I have removed the mounting plate as well due to the pump rod being firmly wedged against it. I was getting all the parts laid out to install And ran into something...
Had some time to have the bracket fabricated sandblasted primer and painter. I have the new filter installed and started plumbing it. The new filter is closer to 1/2 inch so I am using adapters to connect the lines to it.
I posted earlier that I had the skid plate sand blasted, primed and painted. I snapped the above pic and was about to install the skid plate when I realized that the bolts looked like crap, so I tossed them into the sand blast cabinet and painted them to match. When they are dry I will reinstall...
Well while I wait for parts to come in ( Was shipped the wrong sending unit twice ) I decided the skid plate need a little work. So I had it sandblasted, than primed and painted it.
Looking at a 1123 with the 6.5, motor has the intake manifold off as well as the fuel injector lines disconnected. Did not do a complete inventory of everything under the hood. standing Water on top of the block. Wanted to get a ballpark of what it would cost labor wise to swap the engine out...

I was using a six point deep 11/16 socket, so naturally I went out and got another set of deep sockets. The 11/16 was not a go, at some point the tank has been removed. The skid plate only had four bolts holding it in place and only one strap was double nutted at one end. After dropping The tank...
Thank you Sir, My 11/16 deep socket seems to not want to sit all the way on the nut. At least on the rear side of the straps (bumper side) I will have another look in the morning.
Does anybody know the nut size for the fuel tank straps? I was able to remove the skid plate but for the life of me I cannot find a socket that fits the fuel tank straps
What would be the procedure to using a amity Vac? I have one do aI attach to the vent on the filter base? Gas cap on or off? Any help would be appreciated I haven’t had time to drop the tank yet
