How much should a Fuel Pump Cost for '00 Montana?

[37Jetson]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me how much I should pay for the replacement of a Fuel Pump for a 2000 Pontiac Montana with around 129,000 miles. This will be the second pump that we have had to replace in the past 20,000 miles.

The local garage wants $620.00 ($500.00 for the part! and $120.00 for labor). My feel is that the labor is reasonable and they are make a fortune marking up the part.

Thanks for any advice. Money is tight.

If you shop around, you might find it for less.

I've seen the rebuild kits and also the complete units (new and used) on ebay for as little 49 bucks !

Good luck!

Second fuel pump in 20,000 miles?

Are you replacing the pump because the fuel sending unit is haywire? ( Note; The fuel pump and sending unit are one in these vans. )
If so, forget wasting your money and use the odometer or the overhead display to keep track of fuel used.
