my 2001 yukon xl died about 3 blocks from my house, i was able to coast home so at least its in my driveway (barely)
engine just died while driving, gas gauge says dead empty but I know it had about 1/2 tank yesterday. just put 5 more gallons in and it still says empty and will not start. battery is good and cranks fine....when cranking gets oil pressure etc but gas gauge says empty. was thinking fuel pump but why would that effect the gas gauge? unless they are on the same circuit somehow. so do I call AAA or is there an easy fix? |

David lives in Miami Beach. He shoots with a camera when he's on the beach. And has a 9mm when he goes in to Miami. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) P (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

and here is the fuel pump. The dealer is charging me $438 for the part, the online price is $260 but you have to drop the tank to install it and I just don't have the time or the b*lls to pull the 33.5 gal tank out of my truck. (which is almost full by the way)
Check out the pic, you can see the fuel level sender is part of the pump assembly... Attached image(s)

It's easier to do in the pickup version. You unplug the wiring and pull the bolts that hold the bed to the frame. Then you get 6 friends to lift the bed up and off the frame (or pick up the bed with a lift).
Total time for the fuel pump replacement.... about 30 minutes. Now dropping a almost completely full fuel tank. It's gonna take 3 hours. Gotta drain the tank first. |

This same issue happened with my bro-in law's suburban. Seems his wife likes to drive around on 1/4 tank and reserve- too cheap to fill the tank. The pump overheats as it cooled by fuel. Today's cars should be filled at 1/4 tank. Dealer charged over $1,000.00- DH
