I just bought an $800 fuel pump in my Explorer.
I really should have paid the $100 (or more) to have it towed home and
fixed it myself.
YOUCH!!!
NAPA auto center.
The lesson here is never break down too far from home.
They talked me into buying the whole assembly (pump, gauge sender,
float and base) by saying (essentially) that they usually break
something else trying to just replace the pump)
Gee, I did it on a 35 degree evening, no lift, etc. and didn't break a
thing! As you well know, they just want the $$$.
I did a fuel pump on a flower truck full of wilting flowers but I did
have some tall jackstands and a tranny jack.
Looking at the shop, I understand the price., They did have good
service an that costs money.
I wouldn't think the service was that great if they told you they had to
install extra parts because they were going to break them anyway!!
