2017 Silverado 1500, 1008 miles... noticed that fuel pump runs for a second when I open drivers door, is this normal? I'm also having surging issues when under light acceleration on a hill... anyone else have this problem? My 2014 didn't do this...?

Actually the DI engines use two pumps due to how high the fuel pressure requirements are, that is why the 2017+ trucks are now priming the pump when the drivers door opens. It lessens the engine start

Lets clear this up.   All GM SIDI engines have TWO fuel pumps. A supply/low pressure pump, and a high pressure pump.   The Supply/Low pressure pump, and the entire fuel system leading to the hi

you guys are so impatient. There will be a fix soon. The 14-16s don't do it so I'm sure they'll fix the software.   I don't see what the big deal is.

To my understanding the pump is just priming when the door is opened. Does that on my 2017 also, normal.

 

I am also having surging or shuddering during light acceleration.

 

Hopefully more will chime in on the surging.

The fuel pump priming when you open the door is a new feature on the 2017s, probably to shorten the start times on the DI engines.

 

As for the surging, I've seen some posts on people having to replace the torque converters on brand new 2017s because of that.

Is the shudder at any speed? or primarily between between 35-65 (if your above or below it doesn't do it)? is your tach "bouncing" a few hundred rpm at the same time?

If it's only between those speeds, it's probably the torque converter like you stated....

Yes, the fuel pump is normal when you open the driver's door.

Mine does the same thing, I do know the 6.2 has a mechanical pump. It has a roller and runs off the cam. I'm working on the launch of the 6.2 in Spring Hill,Tn. And happened to notice it while delivering parts.

Shudder is not restricted to any speed. No, the tach does not bounce, it is definitely something that can be felt though.

I get a rpm surge from 2nd to 3rd gear occasionally. 95% of the time it happens it's on the same little hill as I'm pulling out of the gym. It's about a 1000k rpm surge during gearchange.

GM knows about the surging but there is no fix for it yet. Bulletin # PIP5457B

My truck does it too, I didn't notice until a customer brought one is and complained about it.

 

My fuel also primes when I open the door. DI engines take longer to fire up due to having to build high pressure and I think this is a way to shorten crank time.

And people wonder why the batteries don't last 4+ years anymore. All this electronic crap.

Thanks for all in the info in this thread. I wasn't sure what I was hearing when I opened the door or my 17 Sierra. As noted, I certainly didn't have any sounds like that in the 14. Strange how hearing "normal" on this forum is a whole lot more believable than hearing it from a tech; but it is.

 

Thankfully I haven't noticed any surging, but my truck was a late November build so maybe they got it right... Fingers-crossed.

Mine does this too, 2017 5.3 6 speed

 

Do they think it's the torque converter or something else?

 

Does anyone think this surging is causing any damage to the transmission? ; Would it be better to make the transmission downshift to stop the surging?

I'm not sure what they think/ I'm hoping it's just going to be updated software for the ECM or TCM.

My truck is a 6 speed but the customer's truck at work was an 8 speed.

I'm not so sure of that. I have a 2017 w/ 6.2 and I have the same fuel pump priming when I open the door.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
