I've had trouble with the fuel pump. The truck is a '99 K2500(7.4L/4L80E).
The pump quits. I drop tank replace pump with new $370 AC Delco unit.
Truck runs fine for a few weeks. Pump quits again. I drop tank thinking "Man am I gonna give the counter man some "stuff". So, just to make sure I plug it back in and low and behold it pumps. So I reassemble and go on our merry way. Fast forward a couple months. The pump quits again. Last night I drop the tank again, pump most certainly not buzzin'. I get the tank lowered and I unplugged the connector. I get up for a glass of cold pink lemonade. Just for grins I plug the connector back in and try the key. It works again and the truck starts and runs.
I did a little searching and found a reference to an oil pressure switch that might cause the pump not to run. Also the factory alarm has been doing strange things lately so I was wondering if this might be contributing to the problem.
Anyone have any thing they would like to reply with?
I was hoping someone would know how to disable the factory alarm. It sets itself automatically and I find this annoying. Recently it has quit waiting until the doors are closed to reset and it will just go off.
Anyone?
