before you go replacing the fuel pump you might want to make sure it is the fuel pump and not a relay or bad wire.

module too!

The ignition module controls both spark AND fuel injector pulse on most later GM trucks with fuel injection..It's entirely possible for only one portion of the module to fail and the other still work fine (no spark,but the injectors fire,or the spark is fine,but no injector pulse)..

I've replaced several that were that way..usually a fuel pump dies gradually,but not always..I'd suspect the module and have it tested at a parts store before pulling the tank,and also the relay and wiring as already suggested,if this happened suddenly..(use a test light to see if 12V is getting to the plug on the fuel pump,or the wire if the plug can't be reached..)

I helped my friend pull a tank out of a truck and replace the fuel pump not long ago--and when we were done,it still refused to start!--so he puts in a "good used" module we saved from another truck we scrapped..it still won't start!..then I checked the fuses,and the "ECM" fuse was blown!..OOPS! --don't do a lot of work for nothing,like we did!..
