Hey all, I need some advice regarding a replacement fuel pump for the 06 Esky build. My builder and I are having a slight disagreement in regard to replacing it. I want to put in a new pump as a precautionary move. My reasoning is a few years ago I had a FP fail during a cross country trip. It gave no warning, just stopped and left us stranded. Had to be towed and lost a full day of travel dealing with it. But my builder is for leaving the existing fuel pump alone until it fails. His reason is he has lost faith in the quality of GM OE fuel pumps because in the past couple years he's had two new ones fail within a year.
So, I'd like some advice. Should I replace the 15 y/o fuel pump or wait for it to fail? Incidentally, the fuel injectors I'm using are GM p/n 12609749 rated at
54 lb/hr @ 58 psi, which I believe is a higher pressure injector than what a stock 6.0L uses. If you favor replacing the old pump suggestions for a new one will be appreciated. Thanks!
