Fuel pump in my 2001 F250 went out tonight. At least I am sure it is the pump, may be the relay but it can't be the easy one, right?
My question of the day is: If this was your truck (70k on the odometer, big dent in the side of the bed, rust above both rear fenders) would you drop the half full tank to replace the pump, cut a hole in the bed to replace the pump, or try scooting the bed back a couple of feet?
Keep in mind I have no plans on selling the truck, it has a bed liner (drop in) so it doesn't have to be a pretty cut/weld job or how ever the patch gets fastened down.
For anyone that wants the details, truck started fine this morning and again this afternoon, this evening when leaving work she started then quickly sputtered and died. She cranks and cranks but won't start. Half tank of fuel.
She did this a couple of weeks ago and started a few hours later and has ran ever since. No codes have been thrown to illuminate the CEL.
AAA towed her the 1/4 mile trip home
