When to replace fuel pump 94 4Runner 3VZE

Thank you.

I searched but no luck

When should I replace my fuel pump? I have 124K miles.

1stToyotaparts.com sells for $230

Autohausaz.com sells

Denso with filter $179

Kyosan with filter $193

What did you do? Thank you

Unless you're having engine stumbling/dying issues or if the fuel pump is whining, there's no reason to replace it. They're pretty solid on the 4Runners.

You could always hook up a fuel pressure gauge and see how well it's performing just to the sure though.

Fuel filter is a maintenance item, not the fuel pump. No need to replace it unless there is a problem or a need for more fuel due to performance.

Thank you for your opinions

I will just change out the filter. Nice to know these are solid.

I plan to purchase the filter at autohausaz.com or 1sttoyotaparts.com

Many thanks.

I also heard that if you dont replace the fuel filter often enough it will kill your fuel pump. Due to the fuel pump has to work harder to compensate for the low flowing filter

^ yes it does, I just replaced a fuel pump on a Silverado and when I dumped the old fuel out of the fuel filter, it came out brown.
