Reviews of AIRTEX fuel pump

I ordered an Airtex pump for a secondary vehicle I had and it didn’t make it two weeks. What a pisser.

I'm on my 5th year on Airtex in my gmt800 and gmt 400.

I had the fuel pump die on my vehicle, I replaced it against my better judgement with an airtex (cheapo) pump because it was available and cheap. 6 months later I’m dead on the side of the highway again. Warrantied it with the same pump… lasted 4 months this time before I was stuck again. Replaced it with a delphi brand (oem supplier and almost 3x the price) and it lasted 6 years until I junked the vehicle due to rust.

Proper diagnostics aside, if you end up replacing the pump, stay away from Airtex.

I went that route and haven’t had any issues, a cold snap of -28f finally did mine in a few years ago after hitting 300k.

If you can go with Airtex, they’re the original manufacture of the motorcraft part. Literally the same part for much less when I replaced mine.

I bought an “Airtex” brand pump from RA a little less than two years ago. It was starting to fail so just replaced it. Two years is too short.

Replaced it with an AirTex unit, and it chugged along just fine for 5 years till a rod started knocking...

NEVER GET AN AIRTEX PUMP unless you like doing this work, because you will be doing it again if you do.

I went with a store brand, I think airtex when I replaced mine 2 years ago. I have to replace it again before I start driving it again.
