Default New fuel pump

I had been putting off changing my electric fuel pump. I just quit putting it off today and changed it. I could not believe the noise that old fuel pump was making. I guess you just get used to things but the new Walbro GRJ420P pump is so quite you can hardly even hear it run when you first turn on the key at startup. Got a good price on the new capsule 125.00 shipped. 148,000 on the clock, I can not imagine how much fuel that old pump has pumped.

Which pump did you replace? How big of a job was it?

It took about 2 hrs to do the job from start to finish. I got the replacement pump off the big auction site for 125.00 shipped. It is the same pump that was stock in the car but a newer model. It went on sale with $25.00 off and free shipping. If you want i will PM you the details of purchase. They provided good instructions with the capsule. Replaced the left hand side electric pump.

That's not a bad price and good that you could save even more by doing the job yourself.
