Greeting All! 1999 GMC Sierra Z71 with 233,000 miles Recently had the fuel tank removed to check something on fuel pump module I replaced a year ago. When I had the tank off I could hear something rolling around in the tank. Removed fuel pump module and found rollover protection valve lying loose in the bottom of the tank. Looked in the book and could not find any info on replacing/fixing this. I have tried to reach into tank to see if it would just snap back in place or something but am unable to get my arm into tank far enough to reach. There seems to be no method to remove this from tank it seems to be integral. Does anyone have any idea if this is repairable? Is there any way to remove from tank to repair/replace? And finally what other that it's obvious function affect can this have on operation of vehicle? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 2005 Chev Duramax LS with steering wheel controls. I can access the oil filter life on the guage. I have heard that you can also set up (customize) the Fuel Filter life gauge. Does anyone know if that is even possible? If so how do I set it up? I got stranded my first time having driven it 10k past the dealer schedule. I replaced it again at 15K miles but would like to know if there is a way to monitor the life of the fuel filter. thanks, |

| My truck turns over(no starter problem)but it takes two to three times before it starts. Seems to be a lack of fuel going to the engine. I can hear the fuel pump prime when the key is turned on.Once it starts, no problems, no hesitation, no misfires, etc. Any ideas? | |

Replying to: bsgb22a (Apr 20, 2009 6:24 pm) When is the last time you changed your fuel filter? I had the same problem my fuel gage, the fuel pump died within 12 months. I think…the problem is irregular voltage draw to the fuel pump affecting the voltage to the fuel gage causing erratic movement in the fuel gage needle. Fuel filter - $ 9.95 Fuel Pump - $ 300.00

| Forgot one fact, the fuel pump I replaced was purchased from AutoZone, big mistake… as it was an after market. It constantly makes noise! | |
