Looked on ebay. you can get a Fuel Pump for 00-03 Tahoe Yukon for 34.95 Brand new with a Lifetime Warranty and free shipping.
Don’t put a $35 fuel pump in, buy an ACDelco. It’s not a super hard job but you do have to drop the tank and that cheap pump won’t last more than a year or two and leave you stranded. $180 or so for the quality, and do the job once in 150k miles. Lifetime warranty doesn’t mean shit except you get to drop your tank, remove the POS pump, send it to them and wait to see if they honor the warranty. They know people won’t do that, that you need your vehicle up and running. That’s why they offer their “warranty”. They don’t send out the new pump until they get the old one back so you sit for 2 weeks with your fuel tank out of your truck while they dick around. :crazy:

There IS a benefit to this: you get to drop your gas tank every couple of years to clean off the top and change the pump. Plenty of time to clean it off while awaiting the warranty to be honored. ;)

Believe it or not they sell Hundreds of them. At last count they have sold 2933. I would not even consider buying one but others just want it fixed so they can get back on the road for cheap or selling the truck.

My Delco one rusted out at 150k miles (spewing gas over the tank and onto the ground). While I'm OK with that mileage, that really shouldn't happen...

Nope, there shouldn’t be an area on top of the tank that acts as a lake. And salt shouldn’t be the answer for snow on the road. Glad we don’t have to deal with that in Oregon.

200k+ miles on original pump. I'm confident I probably have double your hours...maybe previous owner drove a lot with fuel low? Limo companies wont care as much as the average joe regarding fuel pump and keeping fuel in the tank.
