Default HELP! fuel pump went out

:ack The fuel pump in my 2000 suburban crapped out. $1000 to have it fixed. ? Can I cut the fuel line and put a electric pump in-line ???????
Will it suck fuel though the pump in the tank & have enough pressure to work. Thank you for your input,
Mark

NO! Make sure they put a Factory pump in, or you will be doing it again in a year. They cost more but they work.

$1000 is way too much!!!! My brother and I just changed the fuel pump on my dad's '02 Yukon XL and it only took us about an hour or so. Do it yourself and save $800 dollars. The pump shouldn't cost more than $200.
