Doing fuel strainer at 230k. Should I just replied pump at same time?

[paulzak]

Given that getting to the fuel sock to replace it is a little bit of a nusance, do the gurus have any thoughts on replacing the pump preventatively? A Denso is about a hundred bucks on Amazon with the sick so it's not out of the question money wise. I don't have any reason to replace the pump other than the milage which is pushing 230k. When do these things tend to fail? Thanks all. Paul

Actually comparatively, replacing the fuel sock is pretty easy and not to hard to get to. My fuel pump went at around 200,000 miles. I'd buy one from Toyota if possible though if you decide to replace it.

my 2 cents

You are more likely to have the fuel pump relay crap out on you than the pump itself.

Sounds like you need to change the fuel filter.




That will make the sock easier.
