* Brand: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts from GM will generally be the most expensive. Aftermarket brands offer a range of prices and qualities.
* Retailer: Prices will differ between auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, etc.), online retailers (Amazon, eBay), and dealerships.
* Location: Pricing can fluctuate based on geographic location and local market conditions.
Expect to pay anywhere from $50 to $250 or more. The lower end of that range is likely for an aftermarket unit from a less expensive brand, while the higher end represents a higher-quality aftermarket part or a genuine GM part.
To get the most accurate price, I recommend:
1. Checking your Trailblazer's VIN: This ensures you get the correct part for your specific model. Different engines and trim levels might have slightly different fuel sending units.
2. Searching online retailers: Use the VIN and "fuel sending unit" as search terms on websites like Amazon, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc. Compare prices and read reviews.
3. Visiting local auto parts stores: Ask for a price quote for a fuel sending unit, specifying your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine.
Remember to factor in the cost of installation if you're not doing it yourself. This can add significantly to the overall expense.
