Just saw your video. Doing the same thing. My OEM fuel pump had the foam black sleeve around the pump. Notice new pump didn’t have black foam sleeve. I ordered the OEM pump Module and it had the black sleeve on the pump. The black Steve deteriorated causing to block the filter. Should I remove the black sleeve and leave it off? What would be the advantage and disadvantage.
The black sleeve is a noise insulator. The pump is cooled internally so keeping at least 1/4 or more of fuel at all times in the tank would be better then removing the noise insulator. /K&K
Great video.. 1999 chevy tahoe turns but no start. New battery, starter. Fuel pump test turn key @58psi.
Best video on YT ! Thanks

If this is vortec where is the canister around the pump?
Yes the Vortec uses this Fuel Pump Module (FPM) and Fuel Tank size as shown in this video (1996-1999).

I rather use Delphi or Ac Delco. I heard Precision is cheap
Agreed, customer supplied his own parts on this one.

Precision pumps are junk.
