Reviews of AIRTEX parts For Business

I'm on my 5th year on Airtex in my gmt800 and gmt 400.

I went that route and haven’t had any issues, a cold snap of -28f finally did mine in a few years ago after hitting 300k.

If you can go with Airtex, they’re the original manufacture of the motorcraft part. Literally the same part for much less when I replaced mine.

Replaced it with an AirTex unit, and it chugged along just fine for 5 years till a rod started knocking...

Exact same problem as OP posted with stalling on cold engine within approx. 1 mile (if not much much sooner). Replaced EGR valve yesterday and it seems to have gone away. Rough idle has also mostly smoothed out and van just drives more smoothly and responsively overall. Also, my MPGs had been way down for a long long time, like 13-15mpg in mixed hwy/city driving. Upon replacing EGR I drove home in mixed driving (albeit more hwy than city compared to our 'normal' driving patterns) and got 20.7 mpgs driving home from having the EGR valve replaced.

The car doesn't like to start as quickly as it did with the two pump setup. As the car gets hotter and I do a few restarts while running errands the car is even harder to start. Yesterday resulted in me being stranded in my kid's daycare parking lot for about 5 minutes before it eventually started up again. The pump still fires like it should in the acc position and the car otherwise runs fine which tells me the fuel pump is doing its job.

I ordered an Airtex pump for a secondary vehicle I had and it didn’t make it two weeks. What a pisser.

I had the fuel pump die on my vehicle, I replaced it against my better judgement with an airtex (cheapo) pump because it was available and cheap. 6 months later I’m dead on the side of the highway again. Warrantied it with the same pump… lasted 4 months this time before I was stuck again. Replaced it with a delphi brand (oem supplier and almost 3x the price) and it lasted 6 years until I junked the vehicle due to rust.

Proper diagnostics aside, if you end up replacing the pump, stay away from Airtex.

I bought an “Airtex” brand pump from RA a little less than two years ago. It was starting to fail so just replaced it. Two years is too short.
