Would you recommend a Bosh fuel pump for the replacement?

So I've been having issues with occasional long crank times (unless I cycle the key a few times to prime the fuel system), and the pump is the original with 230,000+ miles on it. It's not noisy, it always starts, there are no hesitations, and it runs great at WOT. Really my only reason to replace it is because the antidrainback valve is sticking, and allowing the fuel system to depressurize cause my long crank times if I forget to cycle the key. That being said. I'm looking at fuel pump for my 2004 Hoe with the 5.3ltr (Z). I'v found I can get a Bosh 67452 unit off Ebay for just under $120. I've always been told Bosh pumps are the top of the line.

okay your fuel pump is going out that long crank time cycling the key a few times that your describing is what mine was doing before it went kaputt
dont waste yer money on a bosch there okay but not worth its another one of those your paying for the name product like K&N, i got a good one on amazon for like 50 bucks installed it about 2 years ago and havent had a single issue

Well mine went out @ 136k and Last week I changed it. I bough the Delco because If you purchase and change the filter (in line), you have a lifetime warranty on the pump. Worth it to me,

Sometimes you get what you pay for.... I paid for the cheap in house AirTex brand fuel pump for my 94 SN95... In 3 months I dropped that tank 4 times to replace the pump, before finally breaking down and buying the Walbro Pump... Which cost twice as much, however after 6 years it is still on the car and still running.

Actually Im wrong, it was a Delphi that I purchased. But the Lifetime warranty still means alot to me lol.

Buy a Delco and a new filter and don't look back. Some vehicals don't seem to care what pump you run, bur anything other than a Delco just doesn't seem to last in the GM fuel system.
