Changed out the fuel pump and still no fix. Idles rough and not alot of power on take off. It sounds like something is clogged but can't tell wat it is. The check engine light flashes only code that comes out is the p0300 random misfire. I'm just bout to give up on this truck.

Misfire on two cylinders could be several things. Start by pulling all the plugs and comparing them. Run a compression test on all cylinders.

Compression test has been done it was all good. The plugs also have been pulled n checked they were good as well. I'm thinking of just pulling the engine n dropping another one in

No vacuum problems that's the first thing mechanic checked. So far the fuel pump fuel filter have been replaced next up would be those 2 misfiring injectors n if that doesn't it fix it then who knows. Switched out the coils that were misfiring and problem was still there. Compression was checked as well and was good.

Guess what guys turns out it had nothing to do with fuel. I went outside to check out everything once again. Pulled the spark plug from cylinder 5 and 4 which were misfiring. Also pulled 2 and 3 to compare. 2,3,4 looked all the same but number 5 had some kind of build up in and around it. So cleaned it out and sanded it down a bit to see how the truck runs n voila no more hesitation or vibration from the engine. Drove it around the block to see if maybe it'll come back but it didn't and the engine light wasn't blinking. So this coming up Friday I will be buying new plugs for it but a.c. Delco these that it has on are autolites so no bueno. But that still doesn't explain the 40 psi from the fuel. So one problemo down more to go. Thanks to the ppl that gave me their input. Should've checked this before anything the mechanic checked them but only a couple n thought they all looked the same. Here's a couple of pictures of the spark plugs the one by itself is the one with build up the other is comparison to wat the other looked like 523fd6ae30f4c42e13ceb9f8323d54f6.jpg955d5227a93cb0e94b05f0a58e0e743c.jpg

Well we are getting there.....I still say check the compression, especially interested in the cylinders that show to be burning oil.

Check the fuel pressure again with the new pump, hell the gauge you are using might be off 10 lbs.

New plugs for sure, Denso makes the AC Delco plugs. Use the 5090 plugs: http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,2000,suburban+1500,5.3l+v8,1361517,ignition,spark+plug,7212

they are 4.33 each or buy them locally.

If the miss comes back, you can clean the plugs that are fouling and swap them with 2 from other cylinders. No need in replacing the plugs I recommended because they are good for a couple of 100,000 miles unless they get mechanical damage.

Will be doing that this coming up weekend as I have run low on funds for the moment. What plugs should I run platinum or iridium?

Iridium, see post above for correct part number.

It's been 2 weeks n truck has been running smooth bought the spark plugs just haven't put them on yet. Got the stock muffler removed n got a flowmaster in place but since then there has been a ticking sound coming from the exhaust manifolds(stock headers I think thats wat they are called) on both sides. Wat could cause this?

Look for broken manifold bolts, they are notorious for breaking and causing the tick/hiss.

But why would it make noise after taking the stock exhaust off? Will look into this thou thanks

My truck is a 2009 and calls for 43.5 psi and the TECH2 says the pump is putting out 43 psi and no lights or any kind of problems.

 

Compression test is good but a leakdown test is more thorough. I once bought a performance car for many thousands less than listed price because of improperly gapped spark plugs.

 

As for the exhaust, you either didn't/couldn't hear it before or shifting the pipes around during the muffler install caused it.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
