i have a 1996 ram 1500 4x2 5.2 w/auto and 295k miles on it. recently last 2 or 3 months when my gas level get to between a little over 1/4 full empty.the check engine light starts to blink and the engine starts to backfire/miss-fire like crazy! it seems like i am running out of gas i know this is not the case. because when i fill it after this happened the amount that goes in is correct. the first time it happened the low gas light was on which i believe is about 6 gal. left. since then it has happened 4 or 5 times all when i have over 1/4 tank left. when i read the error codes p0300 - p03005 all that tells me is that the engine has been miss-firing duh!. i had the fuel pump replaced at 250k miles and other than the above problem the truck runs great. the only thing i can think of is something is blocking the intake on the fuel pump since i have no idea what the fuel pump even looks like since i had a garage mechanic replace it. other than that i do all my own repair/maintenance. does anyone have any other ideas since i really dont want to drop the tank and pull the fuel pump. my one idea was to cut a hole in the bed right over the fuel pump and pull it that way but i am not sure that is possible. thanks david you can ask your question about your sons truck even if it is a ford. most here dont care and if they have the answer will share it with you. this group is unique in that manner. roy .

anyhow i dont have the deep sockets so will need to buy the correct size socket for this job does anyone know what size this would be if i had to guess id say 14mm but thats just a guess. measure it with an open-end wrench. of course now would be a good opportunity to get yourself a set of deep sockets - this wont be the last time you need them. and make sure you have plenty of penetrating oil... those nuts are going to be goodnrusty .
