There is absolutely NO reason to go off on a rant about a failed fuel pump. Mine did fail and i was angry about the inconvenience it caused me. I am posting this to clarify that you should ONLY USE an OEM fuel pump if you don't want to have future problems with failed fuel pumps year after year. ALSO you should keep at least a quarter tank of gas because that is what actually cools your fuel pump.

There are cheaper pumps out there and they have high failure rates. I recommend if you don't have the 300+ bucks to spill for the OEM ac-delco/deplhi fuel pump, don't be pissed when your discount pump fails- it probably will. IMHO install a WALBRO performance aftermarket pump (~200 bucks) if you want to save money or the OEM pump and you'll have much lesser of a problem.

OK, here's my THIRD complaint I have filed because this is the THIRD fuel pump that has gone out in my truck. This is the THIRD fuel pump in 2 years! Come on people what is up with this? The fuel pump barely made it a month before it went out. The place that put the fuel pump in said they would replace the fuel pump but I still have to pay labor. So another towing bill and yet another repair bill! Oh yeah, the water pump is gone to so maybe I should just give the mechanic my wallet. Is there anyone else having this problem with their Silverado?

Ok. I have my truck back up and running. The problem was a blown fuse. A 20amp fuse for the ECM-B. When I changed the fuel pump, I did not disconnect the battery (suppose to). I bought an after market unit which required cutting the stock plug and splicing in an adapter. The installation was fine. I also needed a pressure seal ring due to the corrosion that mine has. Nobody in town had one. Not even the Chevrolet dealership. They said they do not carry that in their system. I ended up by salvaging the one that I have. But all in all, it was a PITA. Now I have brake issues.... Thats another story....

ok. I was driving along a back road in Maine (no cell service) at 55mph. As I approached a left curve in the road, my truck all of a sudden stops running. The battery light and all the bells and whistles came on. I pulled over onto the side of the road. I figured that I was out of fuel due to the springy fuel gauge. I always keep a 5 gal tank of gas in the back. I dumped that into the tank and tried to start it. Nothing. Not even a sound from the fuel pump. I thought that the fuel pump was gone sop I went out and spent 335.00 on a new one. I pulled the bed and replaced it. I go to start it and still nothing. I finally was able to get my hands on an OBD II reader. The scanner said that it was unable to communicate with the computer. So now I assume that the computer is bad. If anyone has any info on this, please tell me. My e-mail address is Kolbe.Peter@yahoo.com.

Update from Oct 7, 2012: found out it was a fues..... burnned out the fuel sending unit.....
