good friend of my dad works at a parts store. said he wouldnt sell me an aftermarket fuel pump because they suck. said to get one from dodge. any input?

 

Do they suck worse than the ones you get from the Dodge house? All the fuel pumps that die (that I know of) are OEM.

 

It's a toss up. The only reason I'd even compare the 2 is they're a pain in the *** to change if you had to replace it. I don't know. I had dodge replace mine, but my best friend's parents own a dodge dealership so it was cheap.

 

he said that from dodge it would last me 5-10 years. he said if i bought an aftermarket i'ld be back in a few months to get another

 

get one from napa and you'll be good to go

 

So what kind of aftermarket pumps is he selling? Should be ok with a Holley or Walboro pump
With how much my new Aeromotive fuel system is costing me I better get a lot more than a few months out of it.

 

I"ve had to change my pump twice! The first time was due to old age, and the second time was a line on top partially came loose and dirt got inside and F-ed it up. Both times I went with the pump from the dealer because i've heard the same things about aftermarket pumps not holding up, or not fitting correctly.

 

Yeah I agree about the fit now that I think of it. I wrestled with that Walboro 255lph for a while to get it in. Im just glad I wont have to deal with that bs again, no oem fuel parts going back on my 96.
