2002 fuel pump

[nlocascio]

I need to know if a fuel pump from a 2005 liberty will fit a 2002 liberty v6 3.7? I would like to get rid of the fuel filter assembly, which I've had lots of issues with. Looks like the newer pump had same electrical connections and i know the pumps look much different, but the newer one has a much more standard design then the older one and they did away with the odd fuel filter after a year or so. The newer one has the springs that hold lower unit to bottom tank. Anyone got any info? Thanks
