Fuel pump problem?

Has anyone replaced their fuel pump with a Delphi brand? I just put one in today for my 2010 sierra 1500, put. The tank back up and it wont start. I turned ignition on and off a few times to cycle pump, but. Only once maybe every 7 to 10 times i get a buzz of a split second from the pump. I checked the fuel rail and nothing. I climbed under truck while i had someone cycle pump while i checked the 2 harnesses and wiggled wires. Without a pressure tester (I just depress Schrader valve to see if fuel squirts out) I will try to test the pump and harness to see maybe a bad ground? Any ideas? Has anyone had problems with that brand pump? I know i always have problems with anything electrical from advanced or autozone, and that's where this came from. Hopefully just a bad ground.

Looks like i got some wire testing to do then. The float gauge works good, I'm thinking that might be the smaller connector. When I went to pit the larger connector on the purple plastic piece inside the wire connector of the truck to the pump came out and i pushed it back up in there. Maybe I didn't get it seated right, but it went right in and the lock shim also went in no prob.

Do you know anyone with a Tech-2 or other bi-directional scan tool?  Could speed up diagnosis.

Ok, went out and dropped the tank a little while ago and decided to redo the wiring on the fuel pressure sensor. After redoing each pin i hooked the harness up while on the ground and it spit out fuel, so in it went and it's runnin good now!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
