A relative has a 2009 Ford Escape the fuel pump needs replaced, she ordered a Delphi fuel pump for it, my question is has anyone had any experience with Delphi fuel pumps are they a good choice?
I installed one in my Grand Marquis in August. It worked out great and I have had no problems at all. Delphi is a good choice to make in my opinion. Make sure the fuel filter is replaced at the same time.A relative has a 2009 Ford Escape the fuel pump needs replaced, she ordered a Delphi fuel pump for it, my question is has anyone had any experience with Delphi fuel pumps are they a good choice?
On the Escape I'll be working on the filter is built into the pump, this is going to be the first time I have ever changed a fuel pump, but I did my research & it seems pretty straight forward, luckily the fuel pump on this one is accessable from inside the vehicle under the back driver seat.I installed one in my Grand Marquis in August.

That sure beats dropping the tank.On the Escape I'll be working on the filter is built into the pump, this is going to be the first time I have ever changed a fuel pump, but I did my research & it seems pretty straight forward, luckily the fuel pump on this one is accessable from inside the vehicle under the back driver seat.
You got it made. Should be an hour job then. Don't let any accumulated dirt fall in the tank when you remove the assembly. The engineers used their heads for a change.On the Escape I'll be working on the filter is built into the pump, this is going to be the first time I have ever changed a fuel pump, but I did my research & it seems pretty straight forward, luckily the fuel pump on this one is accessable from inside the vehicle under the back driver seat.
Are you sure it's Delphi?? The OEM pump on our '05 Yukon was Bosch. I put in a Delphi and the fuel gauge never read correctly again. I've sworn off Delphi since just because it was incredibly annoyingIncredibly enough the oem Delphi fuel pump on my 05 yukon has never failed me even after 331k with it. The one on my 03 did soon after taking it out of 7 years of storage, not driving it screwed with a ton of things. The truck would even shut off both at highway speeds and when coming to a stop but that and a lot of other electrical ailments disappeared after a while of daily driving it again. Letting a computerized vehicle sit for years does so much harm.
Walbro(TI Automotive) is the real OEM for many of the automakers. Walbro is the aftermarket “performance” line of TI. If the OE pump isn’t marked Bosch, Conti(VDO) or Pierburg it’s a TI unit.If I can fit it in- I go Walbro.
Could be since i've never changed the pump. But the Delphi failed after 7 years of sitting. Crapped out a few weeks after driving it again. original only had 36k on it. After 7 years of driving I've put 186k on the new Delphi. Works perfectly.Are you sure it's Delphi?? The OEM pump on our '05 Yukon was Bosch.

Delphi made the "improved" fuel pump for both the GM 3.8L V6 and the 4.3L V6. The Delphi improvements to the fuel pump were primarily centered around the wiring, and often required a modification to the connector.Could be since i've never changed the pump.

Did the pumps fail, and if so at what mileage, or did you change them out prophylactically?I have put Delphi pumps in both my Tahoe (1 yr so far) and Suburban (2 yrs so far) with no issues. Good pumps IMO. I think they're of better quality than your Airtex, cheapie brands.
I changed just the pump not the entire assembly. I remember having to swap the power leads on the pump's power connector to correctly match the new Delphi pump. Why they reversed it on the new pump is beyond me. I bet many had to do it over because the pump ran backwards. Remember to check it before sealing it up.I installed one in my Grand Marquis in August. It worked out great and I have had no problems at all. Delphi is a good choice to make in my opinion.
