Shoot-forgot to mention 1999 f150 2wd 4.2 v-6
Going to put some tools inmy wife's CR-V to take to the truck I bought. Must either drop gastank or lift box to replace a fuel line on top of tank. Figured i'D THROW THE 3/8" socket set and some pb blaster and a jack in. Hope to drop tank. Is there anyone out there that can tell me a must have tool list??
I'm guessing 3/8" breaker bar and socket wrench and deep well sockets between 1/2" and 7"8"

 

I have only removed the bed, seems a lot easier to me, but it does take two people. Remove bed bolts, filler neck and light harness and slide it back. No falling debris in the eyes, you can sit on the frame!

If you drop the tank, dont forget your 3/8 extensions those tank straps are up there a ways. A piece of plywood(12x12) is always good to put between the jack and tank. The 1997 to 2001 F150 is being investigated for rusty tank straps, so check them out. Mine only had a half of one strap left due to rust. Good thing I rarely fill it up.

 

box would be easier and is still a possibility...with only 40,ooo miles and garage kept in DE I'm hoping the tank will be easier and quicker....thanx!

 

a socket set a nice long jack and a flat top screwdriver ti release the gas line clips is all you need and a piece of wood to put between the jack and tank and you are good to go done mine different times and never once had the box off
