2002 s10 LS , 4.3 engine . My Airtex finally gave up after 6 years and need to buy a replacement the question is which brand to buy . I feel lucky the Airtex lasted that long seeing as they don't have the best reputation . Any input is appreciated , thanx .

AC Delco, Delphi, or Denso... in my honest opinion. Don't forget the strainer which usually comes separate.

Ditto above- with an S-10 you can remove 6 bolts and lift the bed up 2ft to access the top of tank...

Ordered the AC Delco pump , it comes with an internal strainer .

Most good models have an internal strainer to protect injectors, but you still need the external one that fits on the bottom. This will keep from picking up sediment in the tank and hurting the pump.
