I am off work until next Tuesday. Fuel pump and bed bolts came in at 9:40 this morning. The hardest part was getting the fuel fill vent off. Last time I thought the retainer springs were the pull type and I broke that one.
FYI On a 2004 the fuel line retainers are a PUSH to release
Last time I put a touch of RTV to hold the broken piece in place and it had hardened. I had to pry it out and trim away all remnants of the RTV. Even with that I got the old out and the new one installed in less than 20 minutes. Lesson from last time: use a BA hammer to remove/reinstall the retaining ring. Of course I splashed gas all over the place. I have about 2/3 full tank. I took it out for a spin and the 3.0L is much quicker without the bed.
