Anyone use Delphi fuel pump?
The fuel gauge sender quit the other day so Im replacing the pump assembly. I believe in replacing fuel and ignition related parts with factory equipment. So I was going to get a Ford Motorcraft pump, but my wife checked for one through her work(local parts store). The counter guy found one that said original equipment, called them and was told "It is the same pump that gets installed on the assembly line". Well it came in today and its a Delphi. I was expecting a Ford pump. I associate Delphi with GM and I know GM pumps go out all the time. I know Ford pumps go out too, but I know several people with GMs that have replaced pumps multiple times within 100000 miles. Is Delphi worth taking a chance on?

Things got slow at work Friday afternoon so I went ahead and installed the Delphi pump. It looks like a quality part but who knows about the internal quality. Im sure it will be fine. It took me 10 years to put 100k on my last truck so if the pump last longer than that it will someone else's.

If it looks exactly the same they probably bought the pumps from Racor (the original supplier to Ford) and private labeled them as Delphi. Unless there is a large market for a replacement item an aftermarket company is not going to tool up for a complex part like these pumps.

This happens alot in aftermarket parts. Airtex AND Carter do it alot. Usually price will tell you, if the price is a lot closer to OE than the chinese pumps it's usually a rebox.
