1) Yes. Unplug the fuel pump inertia switch, and crank the truck. Let it run until it goes dead.
2)No. Unplug the taillight connector, probably behind the license plate.
Get a T55 bit for the bed bolts.

if you are taking the bed off what i did is hit the bolts with penetrating oil from underneath. you can get at 4or 5 of them. I would buy 2 torx 55 in case you break one and you need a breaker bar or a pipe for your rachet. ford wanted $16 each for new bolts. I purchased them online for about $2 each I got regular head bolt. the stringest one I think it is 10.8 grade the sizes i needed were 12mx1.75x100mm( quantity 4) 12mx1.75x120mm(quantity 2). as stated in an earlier post there is a connector that you disconnect for the lights it is tucked in the frame at the bumper.you might want to get some new hoses for the fuel filler while you are at it.
one last thought are you sure you did the Diagnosis correctly and that you need a new pump?

Does a 2001 have a fuse? My 94 has a relay under the hood...
I just unplugged the inertia switch. Don't even have to open the hood or the fusebox.
