Fuel Pump Replacement - Cost?

[gmc_z71_95]

Dealership says $850 to change out on my 2001 YUKON. Is this legit?? I know it's labor intensive but...

My guy hit me for $827 total. I know he wouldn't screw me over. I know I could have gotten a cheap ($200) pump and done it myself, but like so much more not having to deal with it. plus having the warranty (see, someone else to blame) if something goes screwy...lol

unless it takes two full days to replace no way anyone should charge you $500 in labor.

Unless it`s for warranty work, Never go to the dealership.

Find a private shop and i`m sure the price will be way less than $800.

more like the pump was $550 (yes, I know you can get a cheapo online, but again rather pay extra for the ability to fingerpoint, ie not have to crawl under the truck myself...i hate changing fuel pumps more than any other part, lol) and the labor was $200 plus tax, etc.

do it your self and buy a after market fuel pump / performance like mine a 255lph fuel pump just cost me 200

That is actually about right cuz a good quality fuel pump that is an OEM part or better will run you $500 for the pump. It's a very expensive part.

I've found aftermarket pumps don't last as long and in a relatively short period of time you'll be back replacing it again.

yup. Talked to my GM mechanic friend this weekend at a car show, OEM fuel pumps he said can range from $400-$500. Lucky for me I got him to do some stuff for me on the side.
Paid $680 for my sons to get replaced two months ago.
At least dealer installed is lifetime of truck.....some like piece of mind.

Cost me $350 for an OEM pump from the stealership and about 3 hours of my time swapping it out about a year ago.. surprisingly it was pretty straight forward.

Man, I feel ripped off. Paid a local shop here in Austin $860 to install a new fuel pump (Delco).
But I was in a rush, they new it, and had it ready the next morning.
I paid dearly for the quick service.

Repair pal says "367-787." I suspect depending on where you live (I plugged in my Phoenix area code). Got an acdelco fuel pump and did the work myself. Ate up my time but not my wallet! I know a lot of folks don't have the time to do it which is understandable but these prices can sure motivate the hell out of you!

 

[HawaiianDenali]

Thanks for that Repair Pal estimate. Yes, time is a real factor.

If you wan't a cheaper alternative. Airtex also makes a pump for it and it's about $100.

I've put many in vehicles and 99% of the time have no issues. I've only had a couple come back to me under our warranty period and none come back thereafter.

(may not be your exact pump so put your vehicle info into amazon and find the exact one.)

Did the fuel pump myself a few years back and while it was not technically difficult it is a pain in the ass. I feel like $800 for the whole job is about right.

Did mine a couple years ago with ac delco pump for $350. Just me and a floor jack with half tank of gas. If you can safely jack your truck up high enough, it's not too bad.

Thank you for that. I appreciate it.

Old original post but what the heck,
Go to Napa Auto Parts
Delphi fuel pump
PN FG0273 and DFG0273 on box
and
Also purchase a fuel filter
Napa Gold PN 3481

(My Yukon XL 1500 is an '03 with a 5.3 non-flex fuel so those are the parts needed)

A tranny jack and a regular 2-ton jack
Some basic tools
1.5 hrs of my time
About 3/4 full so took some care/time to drop down

Bull Ba loney. It is not labor intensive at all. I had my tank down in 30 mins with no lift just on drive on ramps.
