Has Anyone had problems with the high pressure pump under the intake manifold for the LV engines? specifically the LV3 V6? My 2017 has been fine so far but I am curious about the average lifespan of the pumps.

Has anyone seen LV3 V6 disassembled engine photos anywhere? I Still can't find a Haynes or Chilton manual for My 2017 Silverado 1500.

Bought a 2017, built in Sept 2016 , 4.3 2wd short bed Silverado 1500 WT from my neighbor recently for a heck of a deal. Was kind of leary about having another gas sucking full size truck as I am a notorious tightwad with my money. But I really needed a stout truck to haul lumber and trailer loads of farm stuff and couldn't pass up such a deal on a 16,000 mile truck for $15,000. After having it for 3 months I am really impressed with the fuel economy. Hand calculated MPG, always filled to overflowing, has been 22 MPG+ so far. I have NEVER had a truck with a V6 or V8 that got that kind of mileage. My 1998 Dodge Dakota single cab short bed with a 3.9 V6 Never got more than 20 MPG. And I drove it for 18 yrs before giving it to My daughter, Who complains about the terrible gas mileage. Power has never been an issue as I have never had a full size truck with 285 HP. It seems more powerful than a 1982 454 3/4 ton I had years ago. And It would not get 15 MPG down hill !! Keep it up Chevy, You're on the right track !!
