So, my 1999 Suburban wouldn't start for me this weekend (would turn over). I had it towed in, figured it was the fuel pump. Sure enough it was. No surprises so far. Then I got the bill. Not including the tow, the bill came out to right around $900. I though this job was gonna cost around $450, maybe I'm living in the past. Anyone else have this job done recently, I'm curious how much it costed. I wonder if I got ripped off or if that's how much it costs to work on American vehicles too these days. I may have to go Toyota next time if this is the new norm.

 

chrishoward49,
The fuel pump on my "99" went in the fall of 2004 and I paid $530.00 to have it replaced. Sounds like the labor rate must have really gone up since then!! (It does sound inflated to me.)
Good Luck, Dondobe

 

I paid $ 780 to have the one replaced in "96 Tahoe about a year ago.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. To be more specific for anyone else who reads this, the charges specifically were: W-MODULE = $431.99; FILTER KIT = $21.45; CTR (Labor???) = $520. Oh well, Merry Christmas, there goes a paycheck.
