Truck stalled with fuel pump codes

Two days ago I had been driving for about 20 minutes on the freeway, got off the exit, went up the road another 1/4 miles and turned a corner then the truck (2014 Silverado, 5.3) started to run rough, the check engine light came on, it would not accelerate, then it finally stalled as I was pulling off the road. The truck would turn over but I could not get it to start back up for about 10 minutes. Drove fine from there home. I pulled the codes when I got home and got a P023F and a P0232. Both seem to be related to fuel pump. I had close to a full tank of gas at the time and it's drove fine since and I have an appt at the dealer schedule in about a week but figured I'd throw this out here to see if any others have had this happen or have info to share. Or should I even bother having the dealer check it out at this point?

Update. Truck stalled again a few days later, would not restart. Dealership towed me and and got a nice 17 Denali loaner for two days. Ended up it was a bad fuel pump and it was replaced. Apparently new airbag recall came out and they reprogrammed computer for that too. Dealership was great, quick work and back on the road. Boy I miss driving that Denali it was real nice.

When the fuel pump was goin out, did you notice any noises? A whining noise? I'm trying to diagnose some noises and poor performance I've been having. Thanks!

Usually they'll warn you by being alittle harder to start cold and get worst as time goes on these trucks turn over a little longer anyways so that might not be as good of indicator compare to the older days.As with the op situation when it does that the fuel pump is pretty much shot and will leave you stranded. Could be maybe a weak injector to answer your question.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
