Seriously.....the 4wds really suck to drop the tank.

Fuel pumps are notorious for failing in these....my work/play truck ...so I figured fuck it and it worked out well...next one should take me 30 min tops ...lol

I had an '88 full size GMC Jimmy and they had a fuel pump that just sat in a sump box held on by 2 cheap ass compression washers. It would die without warning and after a rest would start again.

You'd replace the fuel pump and it would die again. Last time I dropped the tank the fuel pump was cocked sideways. I was so f'n angry. Put fuel hose over the posts and worm gear clamps on them, fuck you GMC. I never even thought of an access panel, clever!

So I heard back after filling out the never ending job application. They want to schedule me for an interview type thing. I have to watch a 45 minute video and do some sort of test. It's to see how well I can stack, sort, stock and work a pallet jack, both electrical and manual and some other shit. They said they estimate the whole thing should take around 3 hours...

I think I'm just going to pretend I didn't get the email, I've got two other jobs possibly lined up that I'd rather do anyway and if those don't go through maybe I can ask to reschedule. I can see now why there was an opening for so long before it got relisted. The whole process is a giant pain in the ass.

I've removed the factory pumps and put a pickup tube in its place then put a Holley fuel pump on the rail. They make the red, green and blue for different horsepower needs at most parts houses.

I started doing when I was doing v8 swaps on small trucks and decided to do it on some fuel injected vehicles.

I was sitting in a hotel bar once having a drink with a sexy violinist before a gig. There were two guys sitting in a booth behind us, and a dude in a suit walk up to one of them and says, "John Doe? Is that you?" He went on to say, 'Doug Smith! Roosevelt, class of '88!' The dude in the booth said, "Yeah! Hey, nice to see you again..." The dude in the suit says, "Great! Consider yourself served", and dropped a summons on the table and left. The booth guy says, 'Fuck!' We laughed our asses off. Those dudes are sneaky...

I was 18, November, first year of college and I was sicker than a dog with the flu or similar, stayed home from school. I have a fairly uncommon name, only 8 in Calif now and dunno how many back then. Door bell rings and there is this very cute late 20's woman at the door, looking for some address. Very friendly, engaging and talkative, she gets my name , blah blah. Sick as I am I'm getting wood, c'mon late 20's cute and engaging; blammo you are served! Then she justs walks away "Hope your flu gets better". Many lessons learned that day: When sick don't answer the door, Think! The hotties just don't ever come to your door without reason And, fuck it, don't ever answer the door. Turns out I'm the wrong guy, the suit is a nasty partnership dissolution, figures of $2 mill. I didn't respond, actually got a later reg. mail from the court chastising me.

Lol, such a Scofflaw. :wink:

Ok, and I'd bite too - this gal could be wearing a badge, holding legal documents & I'd still open the door for her.
We are not so much unalike my friend.

True. Lol.

It was my first year in the military this hot ass girl from another shop comes to my dorm room and screws me three ways from Sunday and leaves. Not much said. Didn't hang out after. Happened a couple more random times before she got orders somewhere else.

Sometimes the hotties knock.
