Fuel pump assembly recommendation

Hey all,

ive got a stock 2002 WS6 with 150k on it and the fuel pump assembly needs to be replaced (not just the fuel pump).

I see a few options at about the same price points ($260)
GM OE Assembly
Racetronix f body assembly
Delphi assembly

And then a few no name budget options at the $100 price point.

does anyone have any recommendations?

thanks!

What are your future plans for the car?
What, if any, are the differences between the Racetronix and the GM/Delphi(the same in my eyes) units?

Plan is to keep the car stock. No plans for any horsepower upgrades.

I can’t tell the difference between the assemblies at all. There’s no real info on them that I can find?

I know racetronix is respected, and my stock pump lasted for 150k and 20 years lol.

I would honestly see what you can get the best deal (AND warranty! lol) on and go from there.

Yeah I was definitely happy with the OW unit that’s for sure!

im undecided on how I’m going to replace it. I’ve got access to a lift so thinking about dropping the tank and cleaning it…

Just an FYI...the original OEM module was produced by Delphi, but what you buy today from "GM" may or may not still be from this supplier. Then again, even Delphi quality might not be what it once was, I honestly don't know as I haven't bought one recently. FWIW, the Delphi unit was still a high quality replacement piece about ~8 years ago, which was the last time I bought one, so Delphi would still be my top pick for a stock application.
