At least you are doing it the smart way by going with an external washer pump. Not me!!! I had to replace the old pump with a new replacement. I would rather pull and rebuild the motor than do this again! I couldn't reach the pump mounting screws. I dropped the steering column, removed the dash panel, radio, a/c and defroster ducts and glove compartment. Reaching the screws on the pump was almost impossible. Finally got it and then had to remove the cowling between the hood and windshield to replace the hoses and clean the nozzles. I love to work on my truck but this was no fun. NEVER AGAIN!
