firehawknwv Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey guys I think my fuel pump is going bad so Im thinking y not just go ahead and add a performance fuel pump since Ill be in there to not worry bout it later. Im looking at the Walbro 255 pump from TS. Have any of you guys used this and know if its pretty much a direct bolt up? http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=225&catid=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomp62301 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 It is not a direct bolt in for the 03's. I just reciently did this to my ss. I have plenty of pictures of my install if you need some help with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bfast Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 My pump isnt going out, but I am upgrading to a Walbro for my nitrous. I know 03's are different, but pics would be sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detjoe Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have not research this too much but...the 5.3 flex fuel pump might work and be less work to fit it in the basket. I know supersub is running one and he is past 500hp. now they are expensive...$300-$400 and I dont know if they have a provision for return or a sensor in them???

firehawknwv Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yea, pics and info on the install would be great. I neeed to know what all I need to get for the install. I also found a Holley fuel pump on Thunderracing.com but it looks much the same as the Walbro just cost about 200 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually bought the magnacharger fuel pump kit for the 04 up silverado's and installed that. $130.00 Edited April 21, 2010 by thomp62301 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firehawknwv Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yea, seems fairly easy enough. So is the Magnacharger kit better than the Walbro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
