unfortunately, the fuel pump isnt very easy to get to - i think you usually have to remove the gas tank - which is a pain.

here are some instructions on how to do this (from AutoZone's website):

I have replaced my fuel pump twice in the 8 months I have owned it, long story. I am now very good at removing/installing. You will have to drop the tank, not fun or easy, unless you have a full frame lift. If you have the tools and the willingness to do it, I can help with whatever questions you have. Make sure you have a fuel line disconnect tool before you start tho, its a pain to have to stop in the middle of things and run to the store. I would make sure that the pump is the problem first tho, could be the fuel pressure regulator. Let me know.

Have you replaced the fuel pump relay? It's a lot easier and cheaper than the pump, and it could be your problem. Also, have you checked the fuel pressure to verify that it's a pump problem?
