Hey guys I have an 07 Silverado classic 2500HD with the 6.0 ls. I’m chasing a P0300 misfire code. So I’ve done a few things and now I want to check fuel. My problem is when I take the cover off of the intake I can see the fuel rails on both sides and trace the fuel lines and vacuum lines but I just can’t for the life of me find the regulator. It should be on the drivers side fuel rail by the fuel supply line coming in right? I feel like I’m missing something very obvious. But anyway thanks everybody in advance for your help.[emoji106]

Yup, no external regulator.

 

You can still check the fuel pressure on the fuel rail though.

Ok great thanks! so it’s part of the fuel pump, that answers that question. Now are the fuel pressure specs going to remain the same for both systems?

They should be really similar. You still probably want 50-55 at idle and a little more under load. They are usually on a 58psi system. I don't have the exact spec for your truck though.

Ok awesome. That’s what I figured, but when I popped the hood an didn’t see the regulator it threw me in a loop because I have an 06 gmc sitting right next to it that does have one on the fuel rail. So what I’m gathering is that I have a gmt900 type fuel system on a gmt800 chassis?

Your '06 GM shouldn't have a FPR on the fuel rail either.  Somewhere around '03 GM switched from a return-style fuel system with an inline fuel filter and a FPR on the fuel rail to a returnless fuel system with the fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator at a unit in the fuel tank, with a single line going to the fuel rail.

 

My '04 3500 w 6.0 has the returnless fuel system.

Well I honestly just went outside in the dark and rain to remove my plastics and prove you wrong and... as hard as it is for me to say... it turns out I was wrong! I was 100% sure I’ve seen an FPR on the fuel rail of the 06 before but I’ve been taught a lesson on fact checking before I open my mouth[emoji23]

On my 2016 chevy 6.0 2500hd, I have turn the key on for a few seconds and it will fire right up. If I turn the key on right away it will tun over strong but takes a while to start. I was thinking it was the fuel pressure sensor but when I was looking for it I couldn’t find it. I ran the whole fuel line down. Could it be the fuel pump itself?

Yes, the fuel sender unit in the fuel tank is an all-in-one unit, fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, fuel level sensor.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
