"retaining clips"...
Damn those things.
Damn those things.
Am I missing something? Being serious here...Rockauto has the retaining clip ring for $3.95
ACDELCO Part # TR27 {#15169842} GM Original Equipment
It appears that the clips on the tank, that the lock rings connects to, are broken off. I couldn't find any repair references. The cost of a new tank is north of $700, so maybe a junk yard visit would turn up something. My parts source indicates three separate part numbers for fuel tanks depending on the years. Haven't any clue what the physical differences would be.
Thanks cart7881, you are spot on what I was trying to explain earlier.
@1BADI5 I'm not sure of my post earlier made it seem that I was suggesting that you were not trying to help, because indeed you were helping and I appreciate it.
I found a used tank about an hour away from me for $160.
Thanks again for all your input... I just wasn't sure if the rusted clips that were part of the tank breaking off was something that this forum has come across and found a way around it besides replacing the tank.
If I was to write it, It would probably be a "How NOT to" drop the tank.No worries, good luck!
You should write up a How To on dropping the tank and replacing the pump.....just saying
Try Post #7?Rshadd,
You have some secret to searching the Nalley site.
I've tried and I can't come close to your mojo there.
I have the pages for front suspension, steering, and rear suspension bookmarked.
Care to find the page with fuel tanks listed?

<Embarrassment!>There' no secret to searching their site. Sometimes the hardest part is knowing what the proper term for the part is called.
Heavier gold plating?Wonder what makes the 2004-2005 tank $200 more than the other years.
