You're going to want and get an OEM pump. Ones sold on eBay are normally fake chinese knockoffs that don't last long at all.

I believe the OEM pump is around $250-$400. I'm not sure. When I got my fuel pump replaced I was away on a road trip and there was only one Chevy dealership within 200 miles of me with the OEM pump. Cost me $1,000 to have the pump replaced.

$45 to install a fuel pump? crap, send him my way. Stay with the OEM Delco/Delphi.

$45 is so frilling cheap. my time is worth more than that.

yea, i had a rear diff leak last month aamco quoted me 300 for repairs and 250 for labor, took it off cleaned it sealed it with silicon, refilled the fluid and its good as new all for 30 bucks. lol hes pretty good, changed my brake pad & rotors for 20 bucks. replaced my radiator last year for 15. definitely a life saver. but thanks for the imput guys i got one on an auction for 175 on ebay earlier. so its not as bad as i thought. thanks

If its just the case or seal you can get an oem set for like 60 on amazon and its super easy to put on.

If the pumps on ebay say ac delco them they are ac delco! If they are fake then that would surely be noted in the reviews section of the seller.. I bought one for a fraction of the dealers price and have been golden since! 45$ is a phenomenal price to drop that tank Lol!

maybe he's going to cheat and not drop the tank....cut cut cut

rock auto has brand new ac delco pumps for $205 and thats without the 5% discount. but you'll get the peace of mind knowing its not some ebay knock off. 90% of people who buy shit from ebay don't even know what they are buying so don't trust the reviews.

if you have e85 the fuel pump is $250. i'm just assuming you don't. to check if you do, look in your glove box for rpo code K53. if you have it, you have an e85 system. if you don't have it, the cheaper one is the one your looking for.

Rock auto says $271 for mine.

Fleabay has two different AC Delco part # MU1615 and MU1618
one is $202 and the other is $235
both say they fit my application.

Update, The AC Delco site says the MU1618 is an 2001 only with a code of TDC.

The MU1615 is a 01-03 with a code of Tdb.

Now I just need to find the code....glovebox sticker?
