has anyone replaced a 1997 fuel pump assembly? My blazer fuel pump just bit the dust today. I was driving to work, when all of sudden I lost engine power, I pulled to the side of the highway and check the basic things. Everything looked ok, I managed to make it to work. After my shift was over and I was ready to go home, I couldnt start the vehicle. It jsut kept on cranking and cranking, I called the tow truck , and the driver was nice enough to show me a little trick. he pounded the living shit out of the gas tank while i was cracking the hell outta the ignition. it worked and I drove home. Now the piece of shit truck is sitting on my driveway. I called a few places and they quoted me 550.00 + for the parts alone! never mind for the labour cost!! thats like 420.00 USD dollar for a freaking pump..!!! and I thought buying japanese cars parts were expensive! shees!
please pardon my grunting, but hell 450.00 for a fuel pump? thanks god it was not some other internal engine component... :(
Has anyone replaced a fuel pump on a97 or newer blazer before? i bought the haynes manual, the work doesnt look too difficult, but I think i rather ask first.
Please let me know..
meanwhile, I am hitch hiking to work tomorrow...
