On my way to make some more tests.  I can hear the fuel pump if I remove the connector to the oil pressure sender and jump the 2 outer pins. (key off or on, never stops until jumper removed) There is also a 2nd smaller guage red eire "inline fuse that's no hooked to positive batter post.  I have a feeling its either a power wire to charge the battery or? Gotta trace it to see. Was supposed to be running as is. Putting my effort into why no spark from coil when engine turns over. Then move on to TBI injector pulse...could be same problem.

Replaced the ICM yesterday and coil.        Think it may be a fuse or wiring.

 Looking for more info on the fuse panel below the gas pedel. There is no relay box under hood, just one FP relay thats oval. 5 Pin. I kow this isn't much info but gotta drive 30 mi to get to the truck.

 Will buy it if it runs. Prevoius owner just removed a security device(aftermarket) put a used FP in it.  -- My main issue is no spark from coil. (it's new along with the icm i installed) distributo looks like crap but the pickup under the rotor looks ok.

So I've got a good FP relay. I was able to have someone turn the keu on. 

 

I'v got to check the exciter wire to the coil. My test light just turns on and stays on. I think i need an led test light.

 

All my fuses are good. I've still got a clusterphuk near the drivers floorboard - see pic-  The icm i installed late yesterday didn't help with the no spark from coil. Nor did a new coil, so jst trying to track down why no spark from coil, no injector pulse.

I have a 54 and 34 obd codes but havent cleared them to see if they come back.  guy wants to tradr it for some work preformend.  I I rebuilt the 350 about 4 years ago. Spun bearing. Put a 10/10 crank kit in it but also had it honed and all new parts, like rings, oil pump, water pump new cam w/lifter kit bunch of necessary stuff....he wasnt pleased with the bill. He's a friend but the truck has sat up more over the years than anything.

  I don't need it but  it's a no brainer if I can get it back running.

 

The fact the engine disable alarm was just removed by the krak hed that put in the fuel pump has me a bit worried. Not sure it's cranked sense.  Don't want to ask him anything. We run in different circles. No knock on him, just don't know him and don't need his help.  ---  i think i could sell it as is and make money, but it can pull a stump out the ground when it's running.

Gonna borrow a friends led test light to check trigger to coil next.    I got battery everywher i need so I almost put a new Distributor in it. The ICM i did install was one i found in my basement and i usually don't keep bad parts......OK thanks for listening guys.

I found the problem to be the pickup ciol under the distributor plate.

 

Bought a new delco distributor with icm installed. Once I got it installed it started right up.

 

It's almost all it could have been. No sparks from new coil, no injector pulse.

 

Just got it in. Now need to get the timing just right and see how she runs down the road.

 

Thanks for the help guys.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
