Well I had every diesel owners nightmare happen to me a few weeks ago in Vermont. Got a batch of fuel that froze up overnight when the temperature dropped to -16°F. (I don’t normally run any antigel products, but certainly will after this event. Bought some hotshots antigel just as an insurance policy for next winter) Fortunately enough the truck started but was running like a dog at anything above idle. Was able to get a new fuel filter in the truck, a healthy dose of Diesel 911, as well as some fresh fuel from a truck stop.
After all that the truck was able to make it home, but I noticed the electric pump in the tank was a getting a bit chatty and was significantly louder than it should be so I decided to grab a new one from Rockauto.com. Wound up sticking with OEM and got myself Mopar part number 68409159AB. Decided this weekend to throw it in the truck. Having access to a crane was a big help when picking up the bed. I thought about pulling the tank from under the truck but I didn’t want to risk breaking any of the hard plastic fitting or fuel lines. Attached are a few photos of the job, pulling the bed was easier than I expected. If any of you guys have questions about doing the job yourself in the future, feel free to ask.
