Default 2003 Chevy Suburban Fuel Pump Available Separately?

We have a 2003 Suburban 1500 2WD, 5.3 engine, 132,000 miles. It didn't seem to be getting fuel although the pump was still running. My husband replaced the fuel filter - no change. He cut through the floorboards to remove the fuel pump per instructions he found on Youtube which worked great. (The fuel tank was half full so he didn't want to drop the tank.) At this point, I sure hope the pump is the problem. The filter on the bottom of the fuel pump is extremely dirty. We weren't able to find a re-build kit for this pump. The auto parts stores carry only the entire unit. Does anyone know where to buy the AC Delco fuel pump separately? We found one on eBay for $47.49 but it says that it fits Chevy Silverado/Sierra. Suburban isn't listed as compatible. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I think I found the answer to my question. I'm posting this in hope that it will help others avoid getting ripped off. We found this fuel pump on Amazon for $37.99 x $2.99 shipping - ACDelco Mexico Fuel Pump Module Repair Kit 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500V8-323ci 5.3L Flex/Fl . Our Suburban is listed as a compatible vehicle. I tried giving the part number (BGV00250) to the auto parts stores but nothing comes up. The person I spoke to said that he can see it on the internet but they don't have it available. GM prefers to sell only the entire assembly for $276. We really need to get our vehicle back on the road but it isn't worth the cost so we'll have to wait for the part to arrive.
