Default Fuel Pump advice!

A friends fuel pump went out on his 99 tahoe, so far it seems like most places are charging between 250 and 350 for a new pump. Anyone recommend a cheaper route? Could I go with something aftermarket like a holley (about$150.00) or would the added pressure be too much? Any suggestions welcome, Thanks, Ron

250-350 for a new pump installed is a good price. I would just have them do it if they offer a warranty on the pump.

GM (OEM) Pump - $290
Labor (Installation) - $299

Been there, done that... If you don't feel like replacing yourself (himself), then find a good shop to do for ya (him).

I am with BC, installed...you have yourself a pretty good warranted deal there. But if you want to do the install yourself, email this guy.. webmaster@getgmparts.com I got my last stocker from here. Not the cheapest as far as comparing to ebay purchases go, but brand new delphi stuff right of the box and about 45% savings from the mechanic's price.

Ended up just doing one from autozone, 180 bucks and a year warranty.....tried to talk him out of that, but he wasnt hearing it. Easy enough job, If i had to do it again probably only take about an hour or so. Thanks for everyones help! Ron

Good luck on the cheap one. My brother did that and 1yr 1month later it was dead. Talk about something that'll make you mad.
