First Post:
It spits and sputters and backfires and the rpms drop until it kills. If you feather the gas you can get it to go for the most part, but the hotter it get through the day the worse it gets. It always starts up just fine even right after it kills you just can't get it to go once it's been driven for a while. I've had the fuel pressure tested and it is good all the way through the rail to the regulator. I have had every sensor replaced. The coil replaced, the plugs and wires replaced. Last year I also had the intake man. gasket replaced and a new set of liffters put in because they were makeing noise. The truck also has a new rad. and water pump that was done before the intake. It does not over- heat but gets VERY hot if that make sense. No leaks of any kind. I have also replaced the fuel filter.
*************************************************
After 2 more tows home I took this to a muffler shop and had them cut the CC off. The guy told me "this is not your problem" and welded it back on.
Next the truck went to the Tranny shop. That guy said " I can take your money but it won't fix your problem.
Finally decided to take it to the GMC Dealer in town and they called the next day and said it was actually the fuel pump. It's still working but intermittenly will drop the pressure. They want $1000 to replace the fuel pump.
The truck is now just sitting next to my garage.
I might fix it, I might sell it.
Sometimes you just have to cut your losses.
