1999 DODGE RAM oil filter

Fig. 28. Fuel tank must be removed for servicing of fuel pump module.
Remove fuel tank. See FUEL TANK under FUEL SYSTEM.
2) Ensure area around fuel pump module is clean. Rotate fuel
filter/pressure regulator so fuel line fitting on side fuel
filter/fuel pressure regulator points toward center of fuel pump
module.
3) Note location of metal fuel pump module lock ring and
locking fingers on the fuel tank. See Fig. 34. There are 6 locking
fingers molded into the plastic fuel tank.
4) Apply a small amount of engine oil on each locking finger
at the fuel pump module lock ring area. Engine oil will act as a
lubricant when removing fuel pump module lock ring.
5) Note location of lock tab on fuel pump module lock ring.
Pry lock tab backward while using a hammer and brass drift to tap fuel
pump module lock ring counterclockwise. Remove fuel pump module lock
ring, fuel pump module and rubber gasket from fuel tank.
CAUTION: When fuel pump module is removed from fuel tank, rubber
gasket must be replaced. DO NOT reuse rubber gasket.
Installation
1) Ensure sealing area on fuel tank is clean. Using NEW
rubber gasket, install fuel pump module on fuel tank. DO NOT reuse
rubber gasket. Ensure rubber gasket remains in place.
NOTE: Fuel pump module must be properly positioned in fuel tank to
prevent float from contacting the fuel tank.
2) Rotate fuel pump module so fuel pump is properly
positioned in the fuel tank. See Fig. 34. Apply a small amount of
engine oil on each locking finger at fuel pump module lock ring area.
Install fuel pump lock ring on fuel pump module.
3) Using a hammer and brass drift, tap fuel pump module lock
ring clockwise until the 6 locking fingers engage in fuel pump module
lock ring and lock tab engages notch on fuel pump module lock ring.
Ensure lock tab fully engages with notch on fuel pump module lock
ring. Reinstall fuel tank using proper procedure.

Removal (Ram Pickup)

fitting assembly out of the plastic shield. Use care not to damage
fill and vent fitting assembly. Disconnect fuel line from fuel
filter/fuel pressure regulator on fuel pump module using proper
procedure for fuel line disconnect fitting. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT
FITTINGS. Fuel pump module is located on top of fuel tank. See Fig. 30
.
11) Disconnect electrical connector at fuel pump module.
Disconnect vapor hoses from rollover valves on top of fuel tank. See
Fig. 30 . Lower fuel tank from vehicle. Use care not to damage fill and
vent hose fitting assembly.
Installation
1) To install, reverse removal procedure. Install fuel lines
on fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator on fuel pump module using
proper procedure. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS.
2) Ensure retaining tabs on fill and vent hose fitting
assembly fully engage the plastic shield. Tighten fuel tank strap
retaining nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Start
engine and check for fuel leaks.
FUEL RAIL & INJECTORS
Removal (Dakota 2.5L)
1) Release fuel pressure from fuel system. See FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE. Ensure negative battery cable is disconnected.
2) Disconnect air inlet duct at throttle body for access to
fuel rail. Disconnect vent line from fuel damper at end of fuel rail
(if equipped).
3) Note electrical connector location on injectors for
installation reference. Disconnect electrical connectors at injectors.
Disconnect fuel line from fuel rail. See FUEL LINE AT FUEL RAIL.
Disconnect control cables at throttle body. Remove control cable
mounting bracket from intake manifold for access to fuel rail.
4) Remove fuel rail bolts. Ensure area around injectors and
intake manifold is clean. Using rocking motion, remove fuel rail with
injectors from intake manifold.
5) If removing injector from fuel rail, remove retaining clip
from fuel rail and injector. Retaining clip is located at top of
injector and fuel rail. Remove injector with "O" ring from fuel rail.
Installation
1) If installing injector on fuel rail, install NEW "O" ring
on injector. Coat "O" ring on injector with engine oil. Install
injector on fuel rail. Install retaining clip on injector and fuel
rail.
2) To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure
using NEW "O" ring at bottom of each injector. Coat "O" ring on
injector with engine oil before installing injectors and fuel rail.
3) Tighten fuel rail bolts to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS. Install fuel line on fuel rail using proper procedure.
See FUEL LINE AT FUEL RAIL. Start engine and check for leaks.
Removal (Dakota 3.9L, 5.2L & 5.9L, Durango, Ram Pickup 3.9L,
5.2L & 5.9L, Ram Van & Ram Wagon)
1) Release fuel pressure from fuel system. See FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE. Ensure negative battery cable is disconnected.
2) On Ram Van and Ram Wagon, remove engine cover. On all
models, remove air cleaner. Remove throttle body from intake manifold.
See THROTTLE BODY. On A/C equipped models, remove A/C compressor-to-
intake manifold support brace at rear of A/C compressor.
3) On all models, note electrical connector location on
injectors for installation reference. Disconnect electrical connectors
at injectors. Disconnect any necessary wiring electrical connectors
