2000 Olds Bravada?

I own a 2000 Bravada with 87000 on it recently I forked out $900.00 for a fuel pump, very soon the water pump is making noise should I dump it? If so for what?

What is wrong next to my 92...


GM should have gone out of business years ago. They don't stand aft anything that they produce, unless they are prodded to by the government. If you paid that much to replace the fuel pump, I would want to see a break down of the cost. A fuel pump shouldn't cost any more than $150, tops. Water pumps are smaller quantity complicated. All parts are visible under the hood. Good Luck!

Should I rotate my tires? What positions...


I would, Oldsmobiles aren't exactly the most reliable out there. If you don't mind a foriegn car thats reliable, hit up Honda or Toyota. Maitenence is cheap, and the cars are conceivably cheap. Try the 4Runner by Toyota or the Pilot by Honda, both being about matching size as a Bravada.

Answers:    You compensated $900 for a fuel pump? Let me know where you live and I'll be your mechanic. LOL I understand the fuel pump is within the tank, but their not that hard to revise. The water pump is going to be a little more confrontational. If you're not an experienced mechanic, I would take it else where. Dump it, naw, seize it fixed and continue to drive it. Shop around first and get some quotes. If you rob it to a dealer, you're looking at $60 - $80/hour just for labor. Look for smaller business mechanics. If it be me changing it, you'ld be looking at around $600 for labor. A new pump should cost around $45 - $65. If you go to a dealer, buy the pump from an autoparts store and cart it to them to put it in. If you get it from the trader, they will charge you around $200 for it.

yeah, I would hold done that fuel pump job for 150 out the door and warranted!
Those are nice, but I buy those from auctions for as little as a 100 bucks. seem once they start having probs they just hang on to going.
87 thou isnt that much for any car now adays, but it is for that motor. 4.3 without a doubt. vortec I bet also.
wait till you have to start jacking next to the fuel injection spider! thats where the money rolls out!

Demobilizing a vehicle?

It sounds like the water pump is unpromising. don't drive it too much just in baggage something happens, but one way to check if it is fruitless or not is to try to make the pulley move up and down, if it does the water pump is bleak. The pulley should only spin, not move back and forth
