back watching some vids from b4 i subbed ya the innuendos haha
I don’t think they are supposed come apart there ooops
Dorman 904 497 fuel line/ pump seals pump line grommets or pump line seals
How were you able to remove the Red clip?
The people that engineer this cars are the worst in my opinion
Nice work Eric!
I don’t think they are paying you enough!
Incredible
Very interesting video! Really enjoyed it. Great job Eric. Patience and persistence.
Dude! Cool as always very informative. I see she keeps you grounded. 😁 You guys have a wonderful quimistry. Nice seeing your love affair. Keep up the great work.
Great job, now how do I do that on my 95 TBird that appears to have a low pressure issue. :-)…. No Access Panel….. Fords Better Idea 🙂
Awesome job Eric!!🇺🇸
"That's just the way they are."
Lol. 😏
Although from the dealer's perspective that's probably not a lie. 😂
Remember wifey is always correct
Thats what she said..squeek squeek..
Mrs o to the rescue
I have a Durango from 2001 mechanic that was so-called fixing my Durango did the shitty job how did foremost a year charged me $1075 scammed me and told me that I had to take it to the Dodge dealership and have them central time or unit reprogrammed had to bring it back and had them fix it in a bitch and complain to Me that they had to pay for a new central tummy unit out of their own pocket they said it was a piece of dog shit and it’s not worth fixing and I looked at them and I’m like you didn’t fix my vehicle so I’m never going back to them again
Mrs O comes in and saves your ass again 😂
Look good to me now go get your butt squeeze from MS O
Good idea on checking fuel pressure at pump output. Thank you.
if you need any kind of o rings the name of the company is captan o ring he has it all.
Fun Fact: This video has 10x+ as many views as there were actual Prowlers made…
Yeah, old cars that weren't all that popular when they were new can be an absolute PiTA to get parts for… Sometimes you even have to fabricate your own. Know a guy that actually CNC'd a old plastic part out of aluminum to replace some POS plastic part off an older car because he couldn't find it anywhere. Luckily it didn't have tight tolerance because it was just a bracket but it had to be shaped just so to fit in a tight space.
What a trooper there Mrs O steppin in with those lovely mails. Didn't even ask for a glove . That's true love right there baby !
The Original mangled O-Rings could have been leaking and that was why it wouldn't hold pressure.
You could just replace drive train fuel system etc.. then all you need is sheet metal
If only the Prowler had a manual transmission, it may have saved Chrysler.
I pay some skilled person like you.
Nothing like a 22 year old fuel soaked plastic parts to make you consider going home early for dinner, and a three Martini after dinner drink. Well done Eric 👍
with plasitic fuel tanks always put ring direct back to prevent deform. or empty tank first.
"Never trust anyone" ~Mr. O … every stinking video
I have a 07 express 1500 my head lights are are wacky. Left side works sometimes or only the low beam cones on but not at full brightness like not enough power. The right and left head lamp high beam fuses has no power going to it. Also the crankcase fuse # 27 has no power also.
The engine runs like new. The last thing done before this was replacing O2 sender (B2- S2).
Any direction???
Thanks Crosby.
Uglier than the Viper . Love working with 40 year old VW Vanagon plastic here . Great work
Suprised there was an access port for the fuel pump. Thought you were going to have to drop the tank. The 10k mile Prowler lives again.
Piece of crap for a pump should have came with the top
That is the stupidest fuel pump set up ever. Really?
Thinking about it would not just the back pressure valve replacement work since the fuel pump actually pumped fuel while running just would not hold pressure when stopped
Chrysler certainly knows how to form sheet metal. Beautiful car that was a classic the day it rolled of the production line.
Obviously the manufacturer of the fuel tank replaced 800lb gorilla that was installing lock ring with his100 lb Filipino buddy. That's why that took works now!
Props to everyone who gets the AvE reference
Cooking with Crisco!!
Hey at least it's NOT A DORMAN but for $289.00 it better NOT be
hello where can i buy fuel pump for plymounth prowler
thank you for the information
Another good job. Enjoy your comments. Not like working on cars before you born. HaHa
Another job Well done Thank you!
Maybe it was the plastic O-rings causing the fuel pressure leak down
Awesome job as always !
Though, I've had 2 bad fuel pumps on my cars, due to old gas clogging up the small filter on the bottom, and then the pump itself.
I would have suggested (if possible) to pump all the old gas remaining in the tank and clean it up as good as possible, to avoid clogging up the new pump.
But anyways, thanks for your videos, I learn a lot.
Tipm ???? fuse box relay built in???
probably double lead thread they can be a bear
I hate plastic parts 😞
