Dont know prices but its not difficult to swap a fuel pump, I help a crew member do it on the way to a show in a parkin lot. took maybe an hour or 2 from stop to go time.

 

I think you got to pull the bed off. :dunno:

 

thanks for the help, i phoned around and they stil want 750 plus tax for parts
oh well
good thing i start work on monday.....

 

$750...eehh.. I'm not sure about that, that seems a little pricey, but then again I got friends to get me cheap parts..so I'm not too sure what retail is on those. Did you goto the GM dealer?? My local GM dealer is actually on the money for most parts, but some are way over-priced.

It's around $85 an hour down here for labour at car shops. Goes as low of $60 though..and as high as $95

Nate

 

there right around 500 dollars from the dealership, and about a hour and a half to do it.

 

ya i went to one of the dealerships here and that was the price, phoned anotherone and same thing. jeez this truck is hosing me!

 

its not hard to do yourself

just a lil time consuming;

 

the thing is I start work on monday and the truck has to be done

 

theres only two strapps that hold the tank up, take two bolts of 4 on stapps out on same side, bend stapps down so tank tilts reach up in there diconnect fuel lines, slide tank out, pull fuel pump out ( after taking the bolts out) put new pump and sending unit in, then place tank back in place reattach fuel lines use a jack and a 2x4 that staddles both stapps place jack under 2x4 and jack up till you can start the bolts remove jack and board and tighten 2 bolts, pump and sending unit veries around $35.00 - $70.00 and 2 hours of your time. let me know if this helps any (for do it yourself) around $500.00 for dealer to do it and $300.00 for a garage, but thats around where i live regine to regine veries

 

or, take your bed off.. 4 bolts and some wires.. and disconnect the rubber fuel hose that goes to the tank.. and you got straight access to it right from there..

both my solution and S10 SLOWRIDERS do have there pro's and cons.

pro's for S10 SLOW's
- a bit easier

con's
- having to work on your back.. trying to change everything.

pro's for mine
-easy, somewhat.
- dont have to work on your back
con's
- have to take the bed off, which can take you and a friend.. and another friend if your not big guys.

hehe.. dont mind me.. im at work and my mind is somewhere else.. and i really cant think all that well *shrugs*

 

thanks for all the help guys, it turns out it was the ignition coil. still cost me $400 though. oh well, better that $1000!
