Shipping was free and all return shipping for your old one was paid as well. I wanna say it was 900 after the old one was returned was the total price.

Just be careful when removing and installing. Use a mirror to make sure the keyhole is lined up right. get a lift pump its a 200 dollar insurance plan on your vp. What year is your pickup? Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

thanks for the info, its a 2001, I am going to get a new lift pump also, just not sure which one, Fass, Rapture100 and so on. I do not have a fuel gauge

That will keep you informed. At an idle it should be running between 11 and 15 psi. Usually vp failure stems from inadequate pressure out of the lift pump. Good luck.
