I don't know about a website, I'm sure there are some, but I can tell you
how to do it. He has to climb under the gas tank, drop it, (he may want to
jack up the truck before doing this so the gas tank can clear the bed in
order to pull it out from under it) then pull it out from under the bed,
drain (siphon) the gas out of it, replace the pump exactly opposite of how
he removes the old one, and then put the tank back on. Just helped my dad
replace his on his GMC truck (96 model) a couple weeks ago. It's actually
not that big of a job, but time consuming if you don't have some help with
dropping and replacing the tank.
