The 01+ cars got the LS6 pump, and it's a tad bit better than the other years. It will fit in your 99, but if you're going through the trouble you mind as well go with a upgraded unit like an ARE pump.

I looked but to no avail. I didn't see anything on the upgraded pump. Maybe I'm retarded but if u know the price just help a brotha out.

I wasnt trying to be a smart ***, and i cant find any prices on oil pump either, you must have to find a distributor of ARE. components to get prices.

i have 59,000 miles on my abused 1998. i veat the crap out of it and have NEVER had a problem with oil pressure <knock on wood> i mostly use M1 5-30. but at times ive used dino and Royal purple. for what its worth, the previous owner (a family member) used a synth/dino blend from QS for 26000 miles.

1dirtyz, ive read that casting flash breaks off in pump causing regulator to stick, and thats the problem. If thats so it would be a matter of deburring dissassembled pump and maybe shim spring lightly. Find an old pump and see if that looks valid, than go ahead and do it.
