  1. I apologize for the double post. Please disregard. .
  2. I want to thank @gypsy1962 for all his help. He contacted me and offered to sell me the latest version of the GM 13558812 Fuel Pump Driver Control Module at cost. I've been down for almost a month and there are 8 trucks ahead of me at my dealership and one has been waiting since early November 2023. There is no telling how long I would have been waiting. Oh and the best part is it turns out he lives roughly an hour from me so I was able to pick it up the same day. I took it to my dealership that afternoon and they called me a little after 9 am the following morning to come and pick my truck up. So far it's been running perfectly so if your truck has Fuel Pump Driver Control Module GM 13540028 and can find a GM 13558812, grab it because it woks. gypsy1962, thanks again for all your help and I really enjoyed meeting you an your wife.
  3. Yes, I still need the part. I've been calling GM and according to them they're working on it but I suspect there are thousands needed across the country so no telling when I will get the part. Why isn't the dealer or GM Customer Service telling us about this alternative... If you still have an extra I will purchase it from you.
  4. I went on GM Parts to try to search for a part anywhere in the US and evidently it doesn't work like that. You have to put in a Zip Code and you are referred to a GM dealership in that area... Which you find out does not carry the part. I called numerous dealers and was told they have "X" number of vehicles waiting for the part. I then called GM Parts and the Customer Service Representative told me me they cannot do a global search accross the US. I was then transferred to a Case Manager that is trying to help me with my situation. I explained to the CM that I have two major concerns... First, based upon the number of vehicles affected by faulty Fuel Pump Control Modules, many of which have very few miles on them, what assurance do I have that if/when I do get the part it won't fail in 5k, 10k or 20k miles and I'm in the same situation again. Second, from my research this part is still being used in various GM models. How is it they have the parts for production vehicles but not their Loyal Customers who now have a $45k and up Paperweight. I Googled GM Part Number GM 13540028, checked on Rock Auto, etc and from what I can tell it's a GM exclusive part with no aftermarket support. That said, I found 74 GM 13540028 for sale on ebay. Some showed shipping from the US while the majority shipped from China. The prices ranged from $70 to $370 with most being around $100. I messaged about a dozen vendors asking if the part they are selling is a GM OEM Part and every single one replied that it is an aftermarket equivalent part. I watched a couple videos and from what I saw a Fuel Pump Control Module has to be programmed and who knows if the ebay part would even work. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if the GM OEM Part was made in China by the same company making the ebay part. I'm half tempted to order the ebay part and ask my dealer install it. My guess is they would refuse and even if they would, would it program correctly. Then again, could it be any worse than the GM OEM Part. It's very frustrating when you pay for a vehicle and it doesn't work... Not to mention your told there is no ETA for the repair part. This is my 4th GM truck, the other three had 250k miles or more when I traded them without any major repairs. This one may be my last.
  5. I think we may be talking about the same thing... I pulled up to a stop sign last Saturday and my 2019 Silverado Crew Cab stalled as I went to turn. Everything was perfect up until that point. I turned the ignition Off and then Back On and the Check Engine Light came on as well as the Low Fuel warning. I knew something was wrong because I had 3/4 of a tank of fuel and my Fuel Guage showed I was empty. I had my Silverado towed to my local Chevrolet dealership and waited until Monday. According to my dealer service department, the problem is the Fuel Pump Control Module P/N GM 13540028. Unfortunately, there are 8 more trucks ahead of me needing the same part... And one truck has been waiting since November 2023 for the part to arrive. To make matters even worse, I was told that some of the trucks had the part fail at 5k miles and several others fail at 10k and 20k miles. Evidently, my truck with 49k miles was one of the highest mileage. After thinking about 9 trucks at one dealership experiencing the same problem makes me wonder why there was no recall on the part. Better yet, there's no telling how long it will be before the part comes available and when it does, how long will the replacement part last before it fails. I agree with the OP in that the whole supply chain excuse should not be an excuse if Chevrolet Management were doing their jobs.
  6. Ideas like this are why I love this place! Thank you sir! As others have said, part number of the light and details on install and wiring. Thanks
  7. The only ones I am aware of are the AVS Tail Shades Taillight Covers, Part Number: 33637 for 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Hopefully the OP will confirm because the ones on his truck look nice.
  8. Looks good, is that the Gator Recoil tonneau cover? I've been wanting a hard tonneau cover for a while but everything I've seen has been outside my budget. I just happened to be looking on Amazon the other day and found a 5'8" Gator EFX hard folding cover for $539 so I ordered it. It arrived last week and I had it installed in about 30 minutes. So far I've been very pleased with the way it looks/functions and haven't found any leaks even after driving through a heavy rain. Before I ordered it I called RealTruck (Amazon Vendor) to ask some questions about the EFX as compared to a couple other models and I found out that Gator tonneau covers was owned by RealTruck. The gentleman I spoke with told me that RealTruck has other tonneau cover manufacturers make the covers to their specifications and market them under the Gator brand name. I was told that BAKFlip make some of the hard folders and they carry a 2 year warranty. The EFX I purchased appears to be made by Undercover because that the address it was shipped from and it carries a 3 year warranty just as the base model Undercover hard folder.
