Mechanical Fuel Pump Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have an 86 Suburban, 350, 1/2 ton, 2WD that had the engine rebuilt at 180K. A new fuel pump (not rebuilt) was installed at this time. I've got about 17K on it since the overhaul and and last week on a Scout trip to Colorado it gave me a problem at about 7000 ft. on one hill. I've had weak fuel pumps before on other 350's but this is the first one on this vehicle. It was a new Carter from O' Reiley auto parts that was installed. I've checked and the only place I can get a Delco is from the GMC dealer (not in stock) and it's $29. I know it's not that hard to replace but I don't want to have to do it again next summer. Anyone have good luck with some other brand that they can recommend?

Thanks
