fuel sending unit and pump
I need a new one and I see several on EBay. Delphi for one, for $320 including gasket and strainer. My GM dealer wants $600 plus for one. Ecklers list a separate one for the ZR1. Whats up? Tks

If Jerry's got it, I'll second that.

Re: fuel sending unit and pump
The ones on Rockauto.com are fine for $20 ea.
PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC Part # P240KC They fit with no cutting the holder. Just replace both while in there and do NOT ever run the pump in open air. It damages them. Don't ask how I know. For more info see: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/Inform...ent-Steps.aspx and http://www.zr1netregistry.com/Inform...placement.aspx

Re: fuel sending unit and pump
Look for BB 454 Suburban pumps. They're the same thing. I would try the Bosch units if I needed replacements.

Re: fuel sending unit and pump
I and several others had issues with the Airtech units, listed at AutoZone as the replacement for the pump. FYI.
As an aside, at 40k miles I replaced my fuel filter (located on the frame, behind the right front wheel) the same time I replaced my fuel pumps. I was shocked at the amount of crud that was in there!.

Great point! That and the "socks" on the pumps. Sometimes they are plugged to the point where the pump is sucking up the socks impeding the flow of fuel.

Re: fuel sending unit and pump
I agree. The strainers should be swapped out too. Most pumps come with one.
