92 CG - Fuel pump differences- Dealer vs Other

It turned out my fuel pump died. So I start calling around and hit the dealer first because I needed the rubber piece for the fill tube. Dealer quotes me $372 for the pump and $54 for a wiring upgrade. Autozone has a few at different prices way under dealers quote and no one know anything about a wiring upgrade. So I'm back here to ask the ones that know. I did a search within for forum and found the thing about the tank straps. I would imagine that has been addressed on my van because it was a well maintained IMS conversion van. But nothing about a wiring upgrade. Anyone has any suggestions as to which pump is preferred, or will work fine for a low usage driver? Why the upgrade was required with a dealer pump? any other tidbit to search amongst us van users of this generation? Thanks

I have a 92 GC and had to replace the fuel pump, and the wiring plug in was not exactly the same as the new one. The clerk assured me that it was a minor detail something like they changed the ground wire to a common one for both the pump and gauge instead of seperate ones, and that the pump and fuel gauge would work fine. He was right, its been 50,000 miles now and no problem from the pump or fuel gauge.

I got the life time warranty pump (pulling the tank is no big deal to me).

Hope this helps

Yes it does answer a question. but which pump did you go with? Dealer or other? I'm assuming other. As far as conectors, did you have to pull the wire pins and insert them in another location? Like sometime a connection needs a polarity switch so one releases the pins from the connector and re-inserts them the other way. Or did it just fit and work even though some pins were different.

Is that installed price?
I had a mechanic change my fuel pump, He said it was a "Mopar" and it cost him $42.00. at a dealer. He charged me $135.00 labor.
He said he used "Mopar" because some cheap pumps would be noisey.
I watched him change it, and I agree, the hard part is lowering the gas tank and getting the screws back in for the fill tube.

No it was the price for only the pump assembly. Even the autozone pumps run 150-170.

I though it was a little out of range also.

I went with the Autozone pump because of the price difference, it seems like it was 120 or so here in Okla. It is a bit noisy, but for the price difference we can live with it. As far as I can remember, it just plugged up and there was a ground pin that was on the harness that didnt plug into anything on the new pump because of the pump connection change but it has been a while back.

I remember driving home with the pump and seeing that it was a different plugin as the the OEM pump and taking them both back to the parts place to find out what was going on and that was when I was told they were interchangeable.

Prefect, Thank you. It's time to change a pump.
