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.

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
