Fuel Pump dead at 4000 hrs on motor.

Yep, I too will put it on my list of things to do. 4800+ hrs and 160k miles, no mx history, and we use the vehicle mainly to drive back and forth between homes 1000 miles apart out west. I break down would not be fun.

On my 03, I have 6647 hours at 177431 miles. My fuel pump was replaced at about 167,000 miles.

6016 hours 168k

I cut an opening on the floor board and glad I did.

I'm going to drop the tank old school in the next week or so. The hardest part of the job so far seems to be deciding which AC Delco pump to purchase. Going to drive the truck until the Low Fuel light comes on and then 'Project Pump' will be under way.

Don't cheap out, get the OEM fuel pump. I bought two after market fuel pumps and they went out within a year.
I bit the bullet and went with the OEM pump for the 3rd time, 2yrs later and still going strong.

What OE Pump did you go with ? P/N ?

Even at 1/4 tank or more you can pull the filler hose off, stick a hose in the tank and siphon fuel into a can, and put it in another vehicle. I removed 10 gallons this way. But if you can keep driving it that works too. I removed everything and held onto (2) 3-gallon cans to add back in when I was done. Tank was super light and that made it easy to clean out too.

Plus the truck (00 Yukon) is a 'life long' Texas Truck that I got last Sept so its all original and rust free. Good thing is I can take my time and have a back-up driver to get other parts if needed.

I stand corrected. 208k miles but only 2400 hours!

Car is on the hook, going over to the local repair shop. No fuel pressure. Pretty close to 4000 hours on the motor. The previous owner was a limo company, and idled the truck for 100's of hours at the airport.

Only 80,000 miles, but 4,000 hours... fuel pumps only last so long...

I knew there would be problems buying a truck with such high hours... but 1st time it left me stranded...

buy a toyota fuel pump last the life of the car/truck

According to the math your vehicle has averaged nearly 89 mph over its lifetime. SLOW DOWN!!! HOLY CRAP!

Hella highway miles. Down south living lol but I rarely go over 80 so previous owner must have been gunning it I guess?
