Had everything bolted back together, fired up the truck, and had a leak. Had to wait 9, count 'em, 9 days for the dealer to get the part in. No junk yard or pick-a-parts had 'em. Also you will need fuel line disconnect tools to take the lines off. I got 'em if you need 'em. Just let me know and I'll help you if I'm free. Didn't take me but 2 hours to change mine w/ 1 person helping...Zed
