Out of the box failures of new fuel pumps are common enough that I *never* recommend replacing the factory pump as a preventative measure (as some folks seem inclined to want to do).

3 parts in a row like this is why I stopped buying parts at Oreilly's or Autozone.
Mine failed right out of the box. Is that where you bought this?
NAPA or dealer for reliable parts ever since.
