Fuel Pump Replacement Question
Hello all, I have a 2000 WS6 Trans Am with auto trans. It has 205,000 miles on it and I'm the original owner. The engine is basically stock and the car is still a daily driver. I had a problem with it over the weekend not running and had to have it towed to a local garage where after investigating, they told me the fuel pump is bad and that it is only getting about 20psi at idle when it should be about 60psi at idle. They told me they could get me a new fuel pump for $540. If I remember correctly, I believe he said the brand was aerotech HO or something like that. I called my cousin who works at a local auto parts store and can usually get me parts at his discount and the best he could do was about $350. The local dealership where I originally purchased the car wants over $700 for a new GM one. I found this original GM pump For $150 at Hawks Third Gen. 99-02 Camaro/Firebird LS1 V8 Fuel Pump w/ Sending Unit New GM - Hawks Third Generation Am I missing something here, how come this pump is so much cheaper than all the other ones, especially since it supposed to be a genuine GM part? I ordered one of these this morning, so I guess I should have asked this sooner but now I'm starting to doubt if I did the right thing because the one from Hawks is so much cheaper. I'm basically just looking for a stock replacement and aren't worried about trying to feed some mega horsepower monster. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
