How many miles from stock fuel pump?

[FyrFyr]

How many miles has everyone gotten on a stock combo before fuel pump failure? Mine has 108,000 miles. I can't tell if it's getting louder or I'm paranoid.
Thanks,
Chuck

I just installed a new Holley (Walbro) 190 and I'm right at 170 thou. Mine was getting fairly loud, and the new one is really quiet ! I really have to listen for it to be sure it's running. It might pull a little stronger, but the peace of mind is also definately a plus. I just decided I was pressing my luck a bit with the old one.

Mine lasted until about 165000 miles and 14 years. It wasn't completly dead but it was on its way out. It was loud when it was new and got louder every year. I replaced it with a new Ford one and it is loud too.

I think mine is finally on its way out too. i got almost 138 thou on my car and its getting louder and louder and the car is hesitating really bad when it gets up to about 3k rpm. I think im going to replace it this week, now i just need to know if i should get a 190lph or spend the extra five bucks on ebay and get the 255lph. I have H/C/I plans in the future and maybe a blower so im thinkin go with the 255? they are fairly cheap i wold jsut replace it. good luck man

Mine has 128,000 and is not only loud, but if I drive the car for hours, it will stumble and buck and run like crap. I think mine is pretty much done for, and seeing as I already broke the bank this winter, why not get a 155 or so!

My brother GT brand new in '88 only lasted 35k miles

My 86 gt i think is stock pump has 163k miles.. it's getting louder

a lot of it would depend on things that stress the pumps. i bet you folks with tons of miles on them dont run out of gas often (pump is liquid cooled - gas). and running low on fuel is more likely to run crud through the pump. keep it topped up and they CAN last longer.

I think that has alot to do with it. Because my friends 95 Neon fuel pump went out two times within a year- But he runs it on LOW 80% of the time-

86 gt I doesn't let go under 1/4 tank- Play it safe with the miles on it.
