Hello, I have a 2002 Silverado 2500hd 6.0 im currently having a issue with fuel pressure. It’s just way to high im getting 80psi at the fuel rail. I replaced the regulator with the same results anything would help thank you.

Either your gauge is off or the pump is doing double time to make that much pressure.

 

That is basically all you are left with, if the regulator is fine then the fuel pump is where to look next.

Try a different brand of fuel pump, possibly a whole batch defective or boxed wrong, double check the part #. It is amazing how many different FPs are listed for the same truck on parts stores sites. How does it affect the way it runs?

Double check the return line tor kinks or any restriction, But I don't think that would cause that much excess pressure so betting it's the pump. Keep us posted on what you find

Yes , but is it flowing at full volume? with that much pressure it should be squirting out the return at very high volume. If no obvious damage to the return line it has to be the pump, you said you warranteed the pump, how long was the first 1 in before you realized it had too much pressure or thru codes? I only use OEM pumps as it's too big a job to do twice when you get a bad 1. Many times they ask for the code that's on a sticker attached to the fuel lines above the tank to insure it's the correct pump. The flex lines at the rear of the engine is the place to inspect for any damage. Did you drop the tank or lift the bed to change the pumps?

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
