Ugh yea..GM makes shitty Fuel Pumps
 
Yea so my 3rd fuel pump went within like 3-4 years...its almost like buying a set of new tires each year...Any suggestions on a "Good" fuel pump thats not gonna kill me in price..and be good for possible engine upgrades down the line

Are you replacing it witha GM pump?

Whoevers changing it..are they changing just the pump or the entire assembly?

Also if they are changing the pump, and sometimes the module too the manufacturer of the pump will include a new harness that will replace some of the wires that tend to burn up/go bad....have they been replaced?

Sounds all to frequent to me for pumps to go bad..

I have a Racetronix. The wire harness is plug and play.
