Damn Paul, and I just bought a new modded pre 09 pump off of swoope.

 

Is the '09 fuel pump a straight swap for an '05 ?

 

According to Mazmart's site it fits the '09 models only?

 

Nope, take a look at Swoope's thread about modding the 09 pump to fit earlier models.

 

You should know by now I'll take care of you in a kingly fashion. You need only call on me.

Paul.

 

yall stealing my knowledge? Lol!

You are the pioneer in the 09 fuel pump land. We are all grateful to your guinea pigness (Research). Now the folks need to know who to get this jewel from.

Paul.

 

guinea pigness???? I like it!!!! Almost a T shirt.
Maybe I should mail yall a copy of install instructions.
Jk--they are already posted.....
its a much better assembly.

I did the 09 pump install with OD's many help. Here's my additional help:

I used a nylon/plastic trim removal tool (Harbor Freight) and a heavy-weighted hammer (Home Depot-return afterwards) to pound the retaining nut out.
Move the driver's seat forward (electric) before you cut the power to the car. I was too lazy to reconnect the battery and good thing I'm small.
The submersible tubing must be SAE 30 R10 grade (important). They're not cheap. You buy it by the foot, but only need to use about 3-4in or so. You'll also need two clamps (worm geared type).
The electrical connector that needs to be moded is the one inside the fuel tank that connects to the fuel pump. Remove it and replace it with the one from the old pump. Trim off the locking tab per OD. Note the colors/slot of the wire's location.

 

thanks to OD for his testing and ideas...

I'll give it a try very soon...

a DIY with picts should have be great to complete this concept

 

Thanks Parmer and glad it has worked out for you.
I have been on track with this unit and NO STARVATION issues down to 4 dashs from empty!! I have never --ever been able to do that before.
I would advise everyone to call Paul and put their orders in.
