If you go to GM you'll be buying the whole enchilada. Try either SLP or Lingenfelter. One of them (maybe others too) sell a Walbro fuel pump upgrade kit that allows you to replace just the pump only, and get a higher capacity pump at the same time. Much less expensive than a GM stock replacement.

I bought the Lingenfelter 255 lph pump for $300. Install is easy. Hardest part is poping the bucket open. Works great!!

Gm unit retails for around $500 I think. I might be wrong but I know is pretty steep. Good luck.

If you're hard up for money I have a stock unit I took out of my 99. I would trade ya for case of beer or something.

Otherwise go aftermarket.....racetronix or otherwise.

www.lingenfelter.com , nice 'how-to' on the site, it's a little tricky sliding out the pump, use a good pair of dikes to crimp the hose clamp, pull the fp relay and use a jumper to empty the tanks of fuel, some clear fuel hose up front on the fuel line makes life easy
