I have a 2002 gmc sierra 1500 denali with the lq4, was running 45 psi fuel pressure idling i then changed the regulator and pump and now idles at 50 psi and is sluggish, if i remove the vacuum line on the regulator the pressure rises to 60 like oem spec says and it runs much better like this. My question is can i run the truck without the vacuum line connected? Will it go lean? Can i cap the line off? Definitely idles and pulls better with the line off.

With that port open to intake,you're leaning it out,or compensating for another issue,put it back original,try cleaning the maf,or throw it on a scanner,lazy c.t.s could run it rich

Well with the vacuum line on my afr's are roughly 14.xx with that off they did go to 14.08 which seems lean to me but not much different from before. I really dont understand the truck its a 6.0 mated to a 4l65e with a 4.10 rear end so it should pull like a train but our escalade that is the same setup only with 3.73 rear end and supposed 10 more hp blows the doors off it like im not even moving lol

That's at idle?what's the afr at 1500 and 2k rpms?

yeah it idles between 14.05 and 14.1 under load it stays around 14.5. i feel like its begging for more fuel, the ignition timing also goes up to about 55-60 degrees at 4k

Anything outside of power enrichment will run at or around stoich.

 

Stoich is going to be 14.68 in the tune and a wideband o2 sensor will report around 14-15 afr at idle and basically any rpm when not is power enrichment. You could zing the idle speed to 3,000rpm and it should still stay around 14-15 afr.

 

Once the engine is under the load the vacuum in the intake will cause the fuel pressure to rise. You should be able to watch that with the fuel pressure gauge as you drive.

 

I would be curious about other things like fuel trims for possible vacuum leaks or exhaust leaks.

So i dont have like Hp Tuners all ive got is my obd scanner. At idle with the vacuum line connected Afr is 14.08 (which ended up being the same as the line off), Fuel flow was 0.37 gallons an hour (I will hook up my pressure gauge to the line when i get home) And coolant temp was 180. At 1500 rpm with line connected afr stayed at 14.08 fuel flow jumped to 1.29 gallons an hour. And at 2000 Rpm with line conected afr was still 14.08, fuel flow 1.65 gal/hr. For all of these data runs the coolant temp stayed at 180 and IAT's stayed at 37.4

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
