How many have had to change their fuel pump

[rick0312]

How many people have had to replace the fuel pump in the tank on their Yukon? At how many miles? This seems to be a common and expensive problem.

[antdiggy]

I had to have mine replaced around 42K miles
it was covered under the extended warr. I purchased

I have changed mine 4 times. I am about to change it again. I am soooo frustrated! I replace the screen each time and the damn thing only lasts 6-8 months.

Any thoughts?

1 time and hope never again about 6 hours doing in on the ground with plain tools.

Bought an 01 Denali 1 month ago and had to change it already. ($900)

I've seen a ton of them changed.

From as low as 15k miles to 100k +. We've done so many we've got it down to a science. -Yukons 45 minutes / C/K pick-ups -under 1/2 hour.

Divemaster - Have your dealership change it with ACDelco parts!

Do they give you any warning when they are going bad or do they just quit. Also how much does an ac delco pump cost, not installed, just the part. thanks
I have a 98 gmc yukon I just bought with 90000 miles on it.

I just had one go out, about 85k miles. Just got back from a long trip, so I'm glad it happened in the driveway. Looking for advise on replacement on new thread.

I have a 2002 Yukon with 36000 miles on it.. I have already replaced the fuel filter once, and just recpaced the fuel pump.
I think it is a manufacturer defect, and needs to be brought to GMC's attention.

i never had to change my fuel pump one time i have 130000 miles on my truck. use good fuel and change the fuel filter regulary

[the blur]

how many of you changed your fuel filter on a regular basis?

I have 5 GM cars, and I change my fuel filters every 2 years, not matter how many miles I drive.

NEVER had I had a fuel pump failure. 2 of my vehicles are over 100,000 miles, some are 1989 vintage, original fuel pump...

[lodownlv]

yup all u got to do is change your fuel filter regulary

[djfred]

sucks right!

[Mr. Peabody]

Yep, I had to do it also but not until AFTER my extended warranty expired at around 110K.

Someone asked the cost? Here goes:

My '02 Yukon...
Tow truck fee - $60
Fuel Pump - $290
Dealership Labor - $298
The satisfaction of shoving a golf club up the rear end of the Service Dept rep....

PRICELESS!!!
