* Brand: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts from GM will generally be the most expensive. Aftermarket brands offer a range of prices and quality levels.
* Location: Prices can differ based on your geographic location and the retailer you choose.
* Where you buy it: A dealership will typically charge more than an auto parts store (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, etc.). Online retailers offer another price point, often competitive but with shipping costs to consider.
* Specific engine: The engine size in your 1999 Silverado (4.3L, 4.8L, 5.7L, 6.5L diesel, etc.) will affect the fuel pump's design and cost.
To get an accurate price, I recommend:
1. Identifying your engine size. This is crucial.
2. Checking online retailers: Search on sites like Amazon, eBay, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and NAPA, using the specific year, make, model, and engine size.
3. Checking local auto parts stores: Visit your local auto parts stores to get quotes.
4. Contacting a Chevrolet dealership: Get a price quote for a GM OEM fuel pump.
Expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $500 or more, depending on the factors listed above. The lower end is likely for an aftermarket pump from a reputable brand, while the higher end represents an OEM part or a more expensive aftermarket option. Remember to factor in installation costs if you're not doing it yourself.
