So my 98 pump died and I'm looking at the racetronix kit for a 98 with a walbro pump. But I've been told these pumps last 6 months to a year! Any truth to this? Please help me out

These pumps are very reliable.
The biggest problems are improper installation or counterfeit imported pumps that are passed off as Walbro pumps.
I always recommend the following:
Drop the tank so you can properly clean everything.
Use a hot wire kit to ensure proper voltage.
Always use a new fuel sock.

yea, we have sold hundreds of walbros and have not had any problems with any weve installed. I have been using the walbro in my Camaro for 3 years now. I had one in my Camaro before that for 2 years (I sold the car)

My Racetronix GSS340 pump went in back in 2001, factory wiring. I've starved it on road courses, generally abused it, and it's still running.
crap I went and said it...now it'll fail...
