Should I replace the fuel pump?

My Tacoma is ten years old 64000 miles. Runs great, but....
How long does a fuel pump last?

 

Varies, I havent changed many 4.0 fuel pumps in my career, but I have seen a few.

Usually a lean code will appear and it will have a power loss, but not failure. So don't stress it.

 

123,000 and change as of yesterday and still runs fine. If it ain't broke, don't worry about it.

 

It lasts until it doesn't. Best not to worry about it until it craps out.

 

Never had a problem but I had mine changed during the frame swap. Keeping the tank full helps them last longer.Keeps them cool.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds like they're a pain in the neck to replace too.

Edit: you said 64k not 164k lol yeah definitely do not do it. Mine's coming up on 13 years old and 90k miles and it also runs great. No need to replace.

 

Do you have to drop the gas tank to get to the pump?

 

Yes. Or lift the bed.

 

156,000kms (96,000 miles) and no issues ay all with my fuel pump. I never let it run below 1/4 tank of fuel. I don't know if that helps the pump that much, but I've heard that it does and it makes me feel much better!!

 

FYI DCSB trucks you HAVE to drop the tank as the front where the pump is, is located under the cab.

I plan on doing a URD fuel pump upgrade so I get an external filter and peace of mind at sometime before 150k miles (currently at 100k without any issues).

 

I plan to replace mine at 300k. About 10 more years, lol.
