Gt500 fuel pump.

[Goody05]

I'm putting in a GT500 fuel pump and I'm having a hell of a time putting it and it won't go all the way down it feels cockeyed. Is it a b to get down?

Not sure of what exactly you have going on,, But, When I installed my GT500 pumps I had to loosen the tank straps to align the hole to get the pump in.

Once I did that, the pump went right in,, Except for those annoying rubber feet that falling off.

You have to tilt, squeeze and rotate it. It seems like a cruel joke right now but it will go in without dropping the tank. Make sure to lubricate the o ring prior to locking down the lock ring.

I just take the rubber feet off. It makes no difference and I've gotten tired of fishing them out of the tank.

Patience is the key, lol
I spent 1h30 to install it last time, have breaks when you re really fed up messing with it.
Like Bruce said, squeeze and rotate helps. It's scary to squeeze that hoses, but they hold fine!
I then cut the pump acces frame to have more room to play!
If you can't go down anymore Maybe you are hitting the fuel pump fiilter pan

Okay I got it in what a pain in the ass, I had it in wrong so I pulled it back out got it in the right away and it went smooth. I hate the Ford engineers who put it right there what assholes, Just move the it back 2 inches and it would be so much easier

Good to hear. A stamped cutout would make it easy. I've contemplated cutting a half moon right there but in the end it does go in without any hacking.

I still think it's a cruel joke, lol.

So one more question, what do I do with the 2 wires in my hand? I don't want to make assumptions and cut stuff up. If you have a good write up with pics that could could help me.
Thanks

If it's wires you removed from the stock fuel pump plug, those are fuel level wires.
You have to plug them to the fdpm harness plug.

This^^^. They go into the new plug. Do you have the directions? FRPP has them on the website but there is a difference in the colors depending on what year you have.

Okay so I don't see why I'm getting so lost in such a simple thing lol.

Okay so I plugged my new harness into my new fuel pump, I am left with old harness and two wires what do I do with that two wires? cut off the old harness and splice them onto the two wires? They don't just slide in to that harness what the hell am I missing?



Now does this look right?

No don't cut off the old harness, fixing to mess up. follow the link that Bruce left you.

My wires do not go into anything.
Do I need to go buy a connector to adapt?

Did you get it?

 

[Goody05]

I don't have any connector I am having a hell of a time figuring out what connector I'm supposed to have. It's starting to piss me off because this is the last step in my supercharger install and it's killing me. Lol.

 

[BruceH]

They plug into one of the existing connectors on the new harness. Iirc it has 6 pins.

Edit: I think they do plug into a special plug that comes with the kit. That's why you have splices on it, because the previous owner didn't have the plug either. If I'm thinking right you are going to have to splice into the harness.

I take it you bought this used?

 

[Goody05]

They as in the 2 wires?
