But on the newer vehicles the pump and filter are often built into the same assembly, so to replace the filter requires dropping the tank...
I have done 4 myself, and have it down to about 2 hrs if you apply yourself to 4 hrs if you have a beer and shoot the breeze with the neighbor asking what you are working on
It really is not hard, just need the proper tools, jack stands, jack, a few specialty fuel line release clips (cheap at harbor freight) a couple of 5 gallon gas cans and some siphon hose.... a spotter and extinguisher as also recommended...

Ya, I went with the mid grade instead of the OEM because it was in stock and the other wasn't. I got everything back together and it seems to have resolved my issue as it clearly runs better now. However, the gas gauge is reading incorrectly now. If I have to take it back, I'm going to pony up the extra $30 and get the Delphi.

Bummer on the gas gauge not reading correctly. Did you get new pump only or complete module? I've read that one of the wires that runs near the float assembly sometimes gets caught inbetween the assembly when reinstalling the pump and somehow binds and doesn't allow the float to correctly report levels. Hope it works out without having to tear down the whole darn thing again.

If you don't get an AcDelco of Delphi it will fail premature. Most others fail in days weeks or months from install. There is no mid grade pump. Your lucky now only your gas gauge does not work. Did your pump come with a new connector you had to splice to the body side of the pump harness.

FYI, this appears to have fixed my issue. I used to have to hit the starter twice for it to start - gone, low idle - gone, check engine light coming on - so far, gone. What is not gone is power, it has come back.
