I have a new 131 mile, less than one week Silverado Trail Boss 5.3l and the truck would not start.

Four tries with the key, a remote start attempt and just engine cranking.

Called On Star and asked to have it towed.  Sat for about ten minutes and tried again.

This time it started but a check engine light was set.

I had it towed anyway.  Dealer said the fuel pump module was bad but truck is running and they cleared the code.

GM agreed to replace the module.

Anyone else have a bad fuel pump module?

Well it looks like no one else has this problem.  Dealer has the part on order.

Truck is running.

Word for word same issue except at 1,600 miles.  Not giving me confidence in the truck.

Module was replaced and the issue has been resolved.

Check engine light came on my new 2020 Trail Boss at 950 miles. Diagnostic test pointed to the fuel pump. The dealership is replacing the fuel pump. I'll let you know what happens.

I had that issue but didn't know it. Had it in for the hard shift. Code came up at the dealer. So fuel pump was replaced under warranty took them more than 2 wks to get part and fix.

2020 trail boss 6.2 175 miles on it.  I just drove it home from the dealer and it wouldn't run the next day.  They hauled it back to the dealer yesterday and waiting to hear the results.

Haven't seen fuel modules be a major issue since the early GMT-800s.. (99-03s/04s)

I have a brand new 2019 GMC SIerra Elevation with the exact same problem.

Dealer fixed and replaced the pump but now the pressure sensor is being replaced as it has now thrown a code this weekend.

Will let you know how this goes.

2016 GMC Sierra, went out this afternoon and truck would not start. Code PO23f. Tried starting multiple times. No luck. Will be contacting the dealer today.

I just received my truck back and they replaced the fuel control module.  Hopefully it holds up.

Sounds like GM got a batch of faulty ones.

I had the same issue pop up after 500 miles. My truck has been at the dealer since May 7th and still no part. About to make my second payment on a truck that hasn't been in my garage for just under 7 weeks.

FUEL PUMP MODULE. 2019 Trail Boss. Looks like I was one of the lucky ones... my truck waited till 17,000 miles to not start/engine light on. Fuel pump module!!! It's been at the Dealership for 5 weeks waiting on the part from GM.

    • 287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.     
    • Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣
    • My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!
    • The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.
    • Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
