Hello all. My family owns two Suburbans. A 1994, and a 1997. Both are right at 200,000 miles on them. Besides regular maintenance not much has given us problems. I love these vehicles and dont plan on driving anything else

My 1997 Suburban had the fuel pump go out on it yesterday with 206,000 on it. It just quit, no warning at all. But I can only assume it is the original equipment. So it is to be expected. My question is this: Is it pretty difficult to change them out? And how can I find some instructions on how to do it? I know the tank has to be dropped. And mine has a complete cover that goes over the tank(off road guard?).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am pretty sure it is not the original. I am on the 4th fuel pump on my 97, they seem to have a high fail rate. not bad to change just takes quite a bit of time. be sure to pump out as much fuel as possible. when putting back together be sure to get a good ground back on frame clean frame and ground connector well. Good Luck
