rate to replace fuel pump 2002 suburban

[Goats86]

Does anyone have the flat rate time for a fuel pump r&r? The local dealership wants $1150.00 plus tax to replace it. I had a friend had the same thing done last year at a Texas dealership and it was $800.00 out the door. I guess I am a little shocked except maybe they are pricing in the fact I am from out of state.

GM part# 25169303 List for $443.27.

Labor calls for 3 hours @ $100 per hour= $300.

Add tax & some F.U. charges......$800 sounds about right.

Sounds like they are trying to screw you for sure.

I had one done during the shell gas class action suit years ago.. around $770 out the door. But you can get a replacement pump and filter around $150 if you can dismantle the assembly without breaking it. I learned this working on motorcycles.

I always use www.rockauto.com for parts like that... and listen to clinebarger because he really...really.. knows his stuff

Thank you all for your replies. I did what I should have at first. I called a couple of parts houses and got 2 recommendations for an independent former Chevy mechanic. He quoted $800 out the door.

be sure to use a good gm pump or dephi pump as the cheap aftermarket pumps dont normally last as long

Order the parts yourself. I installed mine myself, but I'm used to doing this kind of stuff. Did it in my driveway and it took about 4 hours by myself. If I had to do it again I could probably do it in a couple hours now. Even if you can't do it, if you bring the part to that independent chevy guy you might be able to save some $.

go to gmpartsdirect.com

You can even email them your VIN and they'll confirm it's the correct part. I think the one for my 2000 5.3L Z71 was about $250 or so. There are a couple different pumps, something to do with different emissions laws.

EDIT: I put in clinebargers PN and I got $204.67. They're shipping is usually high, but still way cheaper than walking into a dealership for one.

RockAuto.com has 8 different choices... $93.00 to $249.00 I just looked

I'm at work right now and dont want to post any links using the company computer.

I plan on using this complete setup from Racetronix when I replace my pump. I prefer to have a Walboro pump and to replace the sending unit (because my luck it will fail after I get the new pump in otherwise)

Here's the link, they go for $225 and I plan on getting the relay wiring kit as well.
