  1. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    I'm having a frustrating problem with my truck. It's a 2000 Silverado LS, 4wd Standard cab, 5.3 vortec. The background information: I was removing the instrument cluster to replace the bulbs with LEDs. I took it out, realized I had bought the wrong LEDs, and reinstalled it. No problems. The...

    Name is ryeder, living remote in NH mountains and the proud owner of an almost completed 1978 GMC K15 and a 1971 C10 project build. But my question pertains to a 2007 Sierra 1500 4x4 with a 4.8 that I bought for my son. Good price but in need of some TLC. From what I've gathered, which isn't...
  3. EcoTec 6.2L V8
    My 2023 Silverado with 3000 miles has been sitting at dealership for 4 weeks waiting on fuel pump module. Dealership tells me part continues to be back ordered. Mechanic says the Bosch module is problematic in many GM cars. Has anyone with this issue demanded that GM extend bumper to bumper...
  4. Vortec 6000 6.0L V8
    Sorry in advance for the long story - thanks for reading. I bought this used 2019 GMC Sierra 4WD 2500HD 6.0L Gas/Flex Fuel last month. It has 110,000 miles and has been used for off-roading (based on mud caked on the frame and underside of the bed.) Soon after purchase, I noticed what felt...
  5. Vortec 4800 4.8L V8
    Hey Everyone So after 147,000 miles my fuel pump bit the dust. I swapped it with a O-Reilly special but didn't pay attention to the sender. For the last six months my guage hasn't read correctly and I tossed the old pump unfortunatley. Sender was fine on that and I am kicking myself over that...
  6. EcoTec 5.3L V8
    2017 5.3L Silverado. In the last 6 months, it has happened 4 times where it tries to start, cranks, but will not start. Try again, and it will fire up. This usually happens after it has been sitting for a couple hours or more. It will crank longer than it should sometimes and can be hard to...
  7. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    I have a extended cab 4x4 2000 Silverado 1500 LS 5.3 4l60e. I recently bought it from a buddy and it had been sitting a long time due to fuel pump being out. I dropped tank and realized tank was full of trash so replaced the tank and pump both brand new and went ahead and did filter too. Now...

    Hi, I have had a check engine come on few weeks ago and I took the truck to a couple of mechanics for diagnosis. I got a code “P069E” and ”P0231” I was told that the fuel pump control module needs to be replaced. I ordered the part pre-programmed using the VIN through Garrett Tuning, which I...
  9. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    I have a 2010 GMC Sierra with a 5.3 that has around 130,000 miles on it. Engine was rebuilt almost two years ago by a certified GM mechanic due to lifter failure. I have been having the issue for most of this winter of the engine not wanting to start once it has sat for more than a few hours. It...

  11. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    So, I have an issue that may stump some of you because it most definitely has me scratching my head. I have a 2000 Silverado with a 5.3 vortec in it and I’ve been having a hard time cranking it. 99% of the time, it won’t start on the first crank but every time on the second it fires right up...
  12. EcoTec 5.3L V8
    I have a 2017 Silverado with the 5.3 EcoTec, approximately 81,500 miles. I'll be dropping it off at the dealership tomorrow for diagnostics (which I don't expect much of a result from), but wanted to get some opinions from other owners. No codes, starting / drivability issues or anything of the...
  13. Vortec 6000 6.0L V8
    I am sure this is a issue which has been beat to death and yet here I am still trying to fix this issue. I have followed one of posts which was very informative. I had a shop at temp to replace the fuel pump assembly ( I assumed it had the level sensor) and they said it still did not fox the...
  14. Vortec 5300 5.3L V8
    Recent replaced fuel pump due to what I assumed was a fuel pump going bad because of a high pitched whine that has progressively gotten worse and started out low pitched and then surged getting louder before recycling and doing the same over and over. After replacing the pump the truck fired...
