Replying to: chevyboy7 (Sep 06, 2009 1:27 pm) I replaced my fuel pump 2 months ago. This afternoon i took the old pump on the bench to see what was wrong. I put the pump in the sink and filled it with water, put 12 volts on the pump wires and guess what happened? It was whinning and screaming and nothing was comming out. So I took that charcoal filter off at the bottom of the pump, took it back in the sink and WOW !! no noise, water was flowing out of it like never before.I let it run for 30 minutes, still running perfectly, even tried to clog the exit whit my thumb ..no way!! Before spending $600 + and a lot of trouble, try removing that charcoal filter out of the way. Just replace the inline filter more often.... If you need to access the tank, there is a simple way, just let me know. Stef

| I have a 99 Silverado 5.3L I am not getting power to fuel pump. I just replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. I have seen on here others with the same problem and have tried everything. Switching out the Fuel Pump Relay, checking ground continuity, etc etc. Any ideas would be great! | |
