Fuel Pump dead at 4000 hrs on motor.

[the blur]

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...

That's about normal hours, for 80k it's not a excessive amount at all, the pumps on these trucks are rated for more than 100k miles so yours may have died a smidge early, just the way the coin dropped.

4000 hrs is insanity.

4000 hrs is insanity.

ask around most of these trucks ALL have 4000 hours at 80k just normal driving and idling, it's pretty average, it's been discussed before.

 

[Doubeleive]

4000 hours at 80k is an average of 50mph, not unusual at all

I did the math and compared hours to some of my friends trucks when I bought
mine.. That's how I figured mine was a lot of just hwy driving...
98k with less than 3000 hours.. Most I've seen are in the 4000's with
100k ish

I bought mine at 82k it had a little over 4000 hrs, swapped in a ppv cluster and made sure the hours were transferred over and now I am at 127k with 5214 hrs that is just normal driving and idling. and I am on the original fuel pump

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.

I swapped relays, no help. I have 2 codes.. P023F P069E

My other truck has 3500 hrs, 130,000 miles.. Not all highway, but alot of highway. No fuel pump problems.

Do they normally drop the tank? or hack up the floor boards ??

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

"They" should drop the tank; it's not that bad of a job. If they hack up the floorboard they should get your permission first, and charge you a lot less for shortcutting it.

Not really.

The original pump in my 2001 went out about 4 years ago around 170k miles. Had a local shop replace it and it cost about $800-850 total. Car currently has 213k

The apparently original pump in mine went out at just under 105K on the clock; not sure of the hours. My son and I replaced it at a cost of $220 for the AC Delco Professional pump.

No Aftermarket pump is going to last as long as a OEM Pump.

True. The OE Bosch wasn't available at a reasonable price when I needed mine, so the one I bought is only one step down from OE. Besides, she goes only around 5K miles a year and I doubt she'll be in my fleet long enough to find out.
