89 Cherokee eats fuel pumps
 

put in two new aftermarket fuel pumps - each lasted about a day.
Checked fuel lines, gas tank, and filter -- all fine. Tried a Bosch -
same thing happened. Checked everything again and installed Mopar
filter. It lasted a week.

Any ideas of what I can look for next?

There is a ceramic ballast resistor out on the drivers side fender near
the rad on my 88. This controls the power to the fuel pump. Maybe
check it for clean connections.
