Fuel Pump... always so expensive?
 

A few weeks ago, my blazer wouldn't start. Turns out it was the fuel pump, which totally sucked because it cost me $530 to get it fixed. Is that an average price? Just curious.

Rumor has it that blazers are known for this type of thing... Anyone else?

Everyone I kno (personal) who owns a blazer has changed theirs, including myself!

I had my under warrenty, but my buddy paid I think 200 for his, + a new sending unit.

I hope that at least included labour!

Yeah, that included labor and it was a brand new fuel pump. I had some other work done... like a tune-up and state inspection. All in all, the total was $877.23. Needless to say, it was an expensive trip to the garage. The best part was that I bought my blazer on January 26, 2006 and guess what day it died on me? January 26, 2008. Two years to the day!!! Weird. [sm=WTFsgign.gif]

Last night my blazer died on me. I was on my way home from the g/f's place. Truck lost ALL power and shut off while at 65-70 mph on the highway. Got it started again and it died a 2nd time. I couldn't get it to start. The engine just cranked and nothing was happening. I called my buddy "MOOSE" he pushed me into a parking lot of a bank. The truck died at a stop-light. My dad called AAA for me and I had it towed to the local garage down form where I live at.
