Here's one.....2003 gmc FULL SIZE BED

Ninja_Lawn_Guy · 10-27-2009, 08:05 AM

I've changed the fuel pump once, but had to lift the bed twice to reset the retainer ring on the tank. After I put the bed back down, centered it and tightened the bolts it seems to be "wobbling" behind me as I drive. Just a little, but more than ever, and it's making my gas tank fill hole shake and click too. Thing is, everything is tight and snug but it seems "loose"...any ideas?

Ya I was going to say isn't there some kind of "spacer/cushining" thingy. That may have falling out while assembling it back together.

its a little circle pad. Im riding with 7 bolts and suppose to have 8, but the idiot I bought the bed off of snapped the bolt and I forgot to take an easy out to it before I put the bed on. SOB shakes like crazy and bounces.
