One of my 2001 Silverado trucks has a bad fuel pump. Leans out above 3000 rpms. Dealer just called and said $850 to replace it. Does this sound right? :supp:
Thanks!

Unfortunately so, they have to drop the tank to do it, the fuel pump is in the tank if my memory serves me correctly...
YEP, WHAT THEY SAID. this happens all the time with chevy...
you may be able to hunt around and get another shop to do it a little cheaper.. but it still aint gonna be cheap.
Yep, what they said. Had mine replaced at 39000 mi.
Now w/ 87000 on it the fuel guage sending unit is bad.
(I now have 3/4 of a tank all the time.)
The sending unit is located on the fuel pump too....
Havn't called dealer to see if they'll cover the replacement yet.
I'm thinkin prolly not...
I get $280 labor and the part is around $500-$600 ish. There is wiggle room on the part. Ask for a break.

wait for the recall on the sender, coming soon.
WW, check your PMs
Come on get your handy little Craftsmen tool kit and a floor jack and crawl under that thing. Not that hard to do. But the pump is expensive, unless you got a hookup at the dealer.
if it has the flex fuel engine it might be the strainer clogged.i've been doin alot of them lately! look at your 8th digit on your vin and holla back.the pump
is around 400.00.the labor hrs. shouldn't be anymore than 3hrs with diagnostics performed.does it run outta gas around the 1/4 mark?
i've been a gm master tech for a decade so i don't mind helping just need alittle more info.first ten digits of the vin tell everything about the truck.
