Trim has nothing to do with the fuel pump. As long as you know which engine you have and the wheelbase, any parts man can figure it out. Don't be intimidated by parts guys. Deep down they want to help to be sure they get you the right part. If you want to put the ball in their court, write down your VIN number (17 digit number on the drivers side lower corner of the windshield at the cowl or your insurance papers) and give it to them. Let them figure out what pump and other parts fit. Then later if it is wrong, you got em! If you would like to look it up yourself and maybe become a little educated like a parts man, go to one of our sponsors for this web page and try to look it up yourself. Go to Rockauto.com. I hope this helps. Ask additional questions if you need help.

You can also plug your VIN into http://www.compnine.com and get a printout of what your vehicle was made with.

Welcome to the site, I am sure looking up your VIN above will tell all.
