The general consensus is Delphi or Denso are the better pumps. I've had good luck with Delphi's in my GM's.

I've used Denso for pumps, sensors, etc, and never had a problem. I have heard that Delphi is good brand also.

They fail on a regular basis, 'bout once a year or so... sure, it may still be under warranty, but, is that something you wanna do every year?
