Hey everyone, I’m helping a friend replace the fuel pump on their 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 (5.2L V8, if that helps). Neither of us has done this before, so we’re looking for some advice or a step-by-step guide.

Here’s what we’re wondering:

1. Is it easier to drop the tank or lift the bed to access the fuel pump?

2. Are there any specific tools we’ll need that might not be obvious?

3. Any tips for dealing with rusty bolts or connectors?

4. Is there anything else we should replace while we’re in there?

We’re hoping to tackle this ourselves to save on labor costs, but any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

My ram uses full synthetic oil. It says I only need to change it every 7000 miles, but I've been changing it between 4500 and 5000 miles. Could this cause an issue?

2006 camry out of michigan. Rusted pretty good. I used a cheater bar with a pipe over it and can't bust it though I busted my back. Thinking about buying a used or new imapct wrench. What size or which one should I get to guarantee the job?

4 months ago, I bought a 2020 Ford Escape SEL. Now, I am starting to get electrical products that drive me up the wall. The infotainment system is horrible and the rear hatch won't open half the time.

Should I change the battery? Or what else should I try?
