OEM or Oreilly fuel pump?

I need to change my fuel pump and wanted to see if anyone has had good or bad luck with Oreilly fuel pumps? I know you get what you pay for most of the time. I also know that a lot of times you are getting the same product from the same manufacture, it just has a different label on it. So what say you guys?

 

check your local dealer, toyota parts are 25% off around here till 26th. order online for discount. Why not OEM?

 

I would rather have OEM if there is a real difference. Like I said, sometimes things are the same manufacture with a different sticker on the side and 2-3 times the price tag. Not saying these are but that’s my question. You can get an “aftermarket” one for under 100$ or you can pay 350-500 for “OEM”.

 

Aftermarket store brand fuel pumps are notoriously unreliable. If I got a aftermarket one I’d make sure to get a Denso.

On another note our trucks have a computer that Controlls the fuel pump, might want to diagnose if it’s good first.

 

Did exactly that. Run a power and ground wire from the battery to the blue and red wires at the fuel control module and fuel pump didn’t come on. Of course it worked once I got it on the bench and out of the tank but I don’t think I will put it back in. Lol

 

My philosophy is to err on the side of OEM reliability when the part is difficult to replace (unless the aftermarket upgrade is known to be as good or better than OEM). In those situations, buy once cry once. If it's something that doesn't take as long to swap out I'm more likely to gamble with cheaper non-OEM parts.

 

I share your philosophy on this. It didn't take but about 15-20 minutes to remove the tank once I learned how. The only issue I see is the "Where" factor, meaning if the cheaper pump fails, where is it going to fail? I was lucky on this one and it failed at home but the next time I may not be that lucky. lol

 

Dude thanks for the heads up. I just ordered from the closest dealer to me which is Valdosta Ga and MSRP was 400 and after dealer discounts and promo codes it was 209 with free shipping. Awesome tip!

 

I’d have to look at the wiring diagram but the fuel pump computer may need a signal from the engine computer as well as power and ground. I’m not 100% positive. Just trying to save you some money since you said you bench tested it and it worked.

 

Alright so it gets power and ground from the fuel pump relay, and it gets 2 signal wires from the ECM (FPC and DI). I’d definitely do some more testing. Careful with the wires from the ECM you could fry it if you apply voltage or a test light to them.

I don’t know what year that diagram is from but I don’t think they changed that much in this area on the 2nd and 2.5 gens.

 

OE... Just order online from one of the online dealers that are discounted in their pricing and currently running 25% off w/free shipping, such as Fred Anderson or World Toyota

 

I disconnected the connector that has the red and blue wire from the control module. I ran a jumper wire from the battery + & - and touched them to the respective connector going to the fuel pump. Seems like this should make the pump come on, right? Am I missing something else?

 

That sounds right, probably a bad pump then if it didn’t work.

 

There is also the URD upgrades, did this (different pump) to my 4Runner and it has been running great.
