Fuel pump.

Hey, I have to replace my fuel pump, strainer, and pulsator. What one's would you guy's buy. Stock OEM from a chevy dealership, one's from a local autozone, or some type of performance aftermarket part. Another question what is a pulsator?? Oh, also would you guy's do this yourselves?? How lond does it take, how hard is it? What things do you need to do? Please respond a.s.a.p. Thank you.

Ya know.. I just helped 4mula88 change his fuel pump and I don't even know what a pulsator is?!?!?

I know what the fuel pump looks like though.

Just an FYI, that may not be true, but if you can get a fuel pump for a newer Tahoe(95+), they pump like 96gph and they're supposed to fit. Just compare it side by side with a factory replacement at the parts store for fitment and size.

AC part, as in... AC Delco. GM's parts thingie.

Depends on how much you know about cars. You gotta drop the exhaust, then the rear end, and then the gas tank, to get to the fuel pump.

Well, you COULD cut a hole in the top of that huge bump in your trunk through the gas tank, but it's not recommended.

And sorry, I don't know what a pulsator is either.
