Hi guys I'm new to the site.

I have been doing some searching to try and diagnose my problem.  I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 and I keep getting a 2635 code.  It's out of warranty so I am trying to figure it out without taking it to the dealer.  It was at the dealer a few weeks ago for this problem and they replaced the fuel tank pressure sensor and the EVAP purge valve.  I also ordered a fuel line pressure sensor and will be replacing that in a few days.  I can clear the code and it will come back a few days later.  I also noticed to day that my volts gauge dropped to around 12v when I was driving and the cel came on shortly after.  Somehow my voltage drop is affecting my fuel pump performance.  The voltage drop is completely random from rpm/speed/or what electronics are on.  Sometimes it will be just over 14 and other times it drops to around 12.  It doesn't jump around and it usually stays at that reading for a while.  Anybody have any ideas?  Alternator?  short circuit?   Thanks

Ok thanks I will look into that.

Are the schematics posted on this site anywhere?  Looking for the location of that ground.  I'm assuming it is close to the tank/spare tire and grounded to the frame.

Well that didn't fix the problem.  I replaced the fuel line pressure sensor and also cleaned the ground located under the drivers door.  I also checked the two grounds located in the front corners of the dash and they looked fine.  For some reason when my alternator switches to the lower amp setting around 12.6V and I give it moderate acceleration I get a cel with p2635 code.  Anyone have any other ideas?

I am also curious what you figured out, I just bought a 2017 and mine is doing the same thing with the battery voltage and throwing the same code. The fuel pump at the tank also has that scream that the late '90's Chevy's had before they went out.

I am also curious if you ever found a solution.

I am having this identical issue with a 2017 GMC 2500 with the 6.0...everything you said I am having the same issue with...Does anyone think changing the battery could be a fix?

Hi all, I'm having the same issue with the code P2635 on my 2017 GMC 1500 4wd in including the voltage drop. Has any body find the solution to the problem?

SAME 2017 Siverado. Replaced battery awhile back. Now P2635. The more I look into it the more I hate Chey. Some people are saying it's a problem with the programming of the computer

Sprayed computer above spare tire with carb cleaner haven't had the code come back been a couple days. I did replace battery at 30,000miles. 2017 silverado. Fingers crossed 🤞

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
