Well, uhm, SH!T. Don't know what to tell yeah. Sounds like your having my kind of luck right now. I've been fighting a tranny in a 98 CHEVY for a week now. Everytime I turn around something else is broken. I've got over a $1K in it now, and can't get my money out of it until the job is done. This truck has my HYDRA on hold as I had to use the money I had set aside to fix this one. You know the old saying, "It takes money to make money".

MJ, believe it or not, that no too bad a price. had to do it to my wife's o2 Tahoe last winter. GM part was $350 and it took us a couple of hours in a shop with a rack. the o'riley part is about $175. carry a rubber mallet with you & if it happens again, turn on the key and bang on the tank, some times it will pick up a prime. GM says the don't have a problem, but every dealer has a pallet of fuel pumps in their shop.

And unless you want to do it again in a year, use an OEM pump. The MASTER brand pumps from AUTOZONE and ADVANCE SUCK! I HATE using them, but customers don't want to fork out the extra dough for the good ones.

Did the rubber mallet trick, no go

They used a oem pump I belive, he said it was like $400 and he gets for $350??
