My fuel pumper on my 98 blazer is whining pretty loud and i want to replace it with a junkyard part, will a 2004 pump work? how about a 97? thanks

 

I wouldnt advise a junkyard pump. Most people cheap out and replace em with airtex etc then you go to get a pump and you pull a airtex and install it to find out it dies a week later then you have to do it all over again with a good new pump...

take it from me..been there...done that lol...

Buy a new AC DELCO or delphi pump. Or drive yours till it dies. I had a durango that had a pump that screamed. it lasted another 50k miles.

 

I agree with chris dont go with cheap after market or junkyard pumps

spend the money its worth it

 

the truck has 270 000 kms on it so i dont feel the need to buy one brand new. i found an 04 with low km and can get the part for $20 instead of 300+ just wondering if will work. there is also a 98 and two 97s as well as 97 jimmy. should i play it safe(ish) and take the 98 pump?

 

get the 98 pump. Best of luck to you. Most of us here has learned fuel pumps is something you cant play with when it comes to these vehicles. they are some picky lil ****ters.

 

Yep most of us did and its not fun dropping the tank on the same truck twice in 1 year

 

try 4 times by yourself. K,im off to bed,john have fun with the fuel threads,seems like we get 50 a night lol.

 

thanks chris haha

also this is my punishment for using an after market pump


and yes i dropped that tank twice in bellow 0 degree weather

 

i didnt ask if you enjoyed changing fuel pumps, i asked if there was any change between 98 and 04. yes i have changed a fuel pump, and no i didnt enjoy it. i dont plan to keep the blazer and i dont want want to sell it with what i believe to be a faulty pump. I plan to replace it with the best used part i can im not going to spend over 300 dollars on something im selling. and im sure the buyer isnt going to mind if a 270k truck has a 150k pump, and that is kilometers not miles.

but thanks i probably will go with the 98 pump

 

To find out if a pump is an exact match, go to Rockauto.com look up the part for your truck and click on part #. Popup shows other year/model fit

- Another problem is that sometime in the series, the elect connector changed and -assuming you still have the OE in there- you will need the new pigtail. It comes with a replacement pump.

If you get a junkyard pump and it doesnt say Delphi (OE) on it, I would pass on it. I dont think ACD replacements are labeled are they?
