Thx dozerdogg for your reply. I did all you suggested and it still wouldn't start. After 4 days of consulation between the mechanic and GM tech support, they are 95% sure it is the FICM. Dealer wants $2000 for it and I found a new one on ebay for $450. Dropped it off at the dealer today so perhaps on Monday the truck will be running. I will report back soon. Thx again

I came back from the dealer today and the engine will still not start with the new FICM. GM techs and dealer mechanic and the shop forum can not figure it out. Any ideas out there what can be tried next. Please help.

Still no solution after two weeks at GM Chev dealer. Can anyone tell me what the supply voltage is to the injectors. I believe supply voltage is from the FICM. Mechanic says it should be 48 volts but I can't find that anywhere in the shop manual. Is is 48 volts or 12 volts. THX.

Truck has now been at the dealers for 3 weeks and still no start. Gave them another ECM which they programmed and it made no difference. BTw the voltage on the injectors is 48 volts. They also did a fuel by-pass on the two injector rails and the results were within GM tolerances so that isn't the problem. Now they want to remove a few injectors and have them tested to see if that might be the problem. When they did the by-pass test there were a lot of air bubbles entering the injectors. I think they might be coming from the fuel filter hand pump so I've ordered a gasket set to replace the 0-rings. Also replacing the water collector at the bottom of the fuel filter. Is anyone interested in what is happening here. If I don't hear from someone, I guess I will quit reporting.

Hi drjones1235. The only thing that we might have in common on these trucks is that my clockspring is broken so I get an airbag trouble code and the steering wheel buttons do not work. Are you getting any trouble codes. Is your truck at a gm dealer I will change the clock spring this weekend and see if that makes a difference although I can't see why. Let me know if you make any progress.

#359 of 359 Duramax low oil pressure by mrsoupdad

Mar 02, 2013 (8:38 am)

My 2003 Chevrolet Duramax shows low oil pressure on the gauge after it warms up. I have no power loss, it doesn't ping or knock, no smoke at all. Everything seems fine, but this oil pressure issue freaks me out. How/ where do I check it with a gauge?
