After thinking for a minute (something I don't regularly do) I believe the model truck you have has the vent system plumbed differently from the earlier trucks. The pump vent may go to the tank ......maybe. Just the same if the diaphragm is compromised fuel coming out the vent fitting is a sure...
If you had air escaping from the mechanical pump on the side of the engine it's my guess that you have a ruptured diaphragm in the pump. I would disconnect the vent line as to not get fuel in the vent system as you trouble shoot he fuel system. Fuel escaping the vent fitting equals a pump...
Had to fabricate a bracket for the solenoids, and took an angle grinder to the lower edge of the mount where the cable comes through in case it bound up and drug across the edge.
Hope this helps.
I think I would pull the round plug on the driver side of the transmission and stick a qtip in it (you have to have a really small head to get an eyeball up to it) and see if it comes out "RED", that would be transmission fluid. It could account for all of your electrical gremlins but...
4L80E, lots of them out there. Heavy duty trucks and vans and a few Motor homes. R & R your self that way the shop can't complain about it being in a HMMWV ....$$$$$ My 2 cents.
For future reference, the Mile Marker 12000 hydraulic winch works great on the rear mount, motor mounts to the right side and the "factory hoses" reach just fine. Tickled with mine!

I rest my case. And I am not going to discuss what the bearing on the front drive shaft is called either.
BUT, I do want to apologise to VAPOR TRAIL for hijacking his post to air our silly BS to argue about a GEAR. My hat is off to anyone ambitious and talented enough to tear one of these down...
The small gear attached to a motor is referred to as a pinion gear, think starter or small dc motor. The small gear attached to a "shaft" is referred to as a spur gear. JUST my 2 cents.
The rear can be removed and replaced with a floor jack and a piece of chain and assorted hooks. Having said that I DON'T RECOMMEND IT FOR AMATEURS , IT'S DANGEROUS, LIKE LIFE ENDING DANGEROUS IF YOU SCREW UP.
Blow it out from the inside out with compressed air, reversed vacuum won't do it. Not so hard as to tear the element. You will see when the fluid is gone. A red shen on it won't hurt. My 2 cents.
