Drop the fuel tank. (hopefully it is just about empty) on top of tank unplug power plug disconnect fuel lines and remove locking ring on top of pump unit, lift pump up out of tank. replace in opposite order. It really is that easy if the tank is empty as you can do it all with no jack . I did my yukon xl in about a hour but i had a friend handing me whatever i yelled for. I also removed the rear driveshaft so i would have plenty of room to sit up under the truck and god was that nice. Make sure you support the rear axle up with jackstands, yes jack rear of truck off the ground.

How to change the fuel filter on a 2007 chevy avalanche.

I"m pretty sure the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump module on this vehicle. It is not considered serviceable and gets replaced when the fuel pump is replaced. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

My chevy avalanche aircon blower will not start on 1st to 4th only works on 5th speed. Chevy Avalanche 2003 model with 5.3 L

Sounds like a blower motor resistor. Not an expensive part, fairly easy for a mechanic to change. Located usually behind the glove box door.

Easiest way to replace a fuel pump on a 2002 chevy avalanche?

i replaced the fuel pump on my chevy avalanche last year there is really only one way to replace it ,you have to take the braces down that holds the fuel tank up, unhook fuel lines, and rubber filler hoses, drop the gas tank to be able to get to the fuel pump. i bought a book at auto parts store that takes you step by step on how to do it.

Loss of power after 20-30 miles on my '04 chevy 5.3

sounds like it could be the fuel pump. I had a simular problem with an astro van. does it restart with full power after you shut it off and wait 15-20 minnutes? if if does i would have the fuel pump pressures checked.
