I get typically about 90K out of each one ( stock ones on side of the block)
I know cause i have gone through 3 in 270k
This is cheap money compared to the expensive crap that fails anyways

Oh, ok
thanx
Being the in-tank is so hard to change out, and the side of the block pump is only 125.00 bucks and less I think I will stay where I am at.

To reiterate ...........(again)
If you renew all your grounds with tinned wires and lugs, solder and crimp, with proper tools
I will guarantee it will fix some of all your problems if not all.
dont skimp.
If you dont know what marine tinned is ( 2 Gauge (2 AWG) Extreme Battery Cable with Ends - Copper Extra Flexible Stranded)

this is the chunk under myLeft battery, all moldy green.
They were all really bad.
Next this cheap crimp tool works just fine from amazon

My method-

brake clean insulation where the heat shrink goes .( As there is a release agent on the insulation.)
You want that removed with brake cleaner.
Drill the end of the TINNED lugs, put a small amount of flux on the wire, and crimp it..
Then heat it up enough to add some solder through the hole,
Now smear a bit 3M 5200 where the heat shrink goes . (comes in white or black)
Heat it on, now you will have a crimped, soldered, H20-proof, tinned lug connection on tinned wire .
This will outlast you and the truck
