Does anyone know if these fuel injectors will fit my 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 5.3 Liter motor?

Nominal-Flow Multiport Fuel Injector

GM Part # 19420334

I’m adding a Magnuson 2650 Supercharger (stock bottom end) and want to ensure that I have no fuel issues. The stock injectors are rated at about 24 lbs and these LT4 injectors are rated at about 28 lbs and good for around 800 hp.  It’s really just for insurance and probably not needed but I don’t want to leave anything to chance and limit the Tuners options for more “SAFE” power.  Also, the dealer said that they didn’t know whether or not they will fit but I’m pretty sure they will fit in the existing OEM injector location as per a few mechanics I spoke to.  Thanks in advance.

Yes but I'd be getting the LT4's high pressure fuel pump to match those as well.

What about getting a Boost-a-Pump instead?

That's not gonna help the high pressure pump make more PSI.  That looks like it helps the low pressure pump in the tank.

 

I'm talking the high pressure pump at the engine.  If you are running a stock cam, I'm saying switch to the LT4's high pressure fuel pump to match what the injectors put out.  LT4 makes much more pressure than the stock pump.  

If you are swapping cams, many cams have a more aggressive fuel pump lobe to deliver more fueling that way.

If you are changing injectors, then you are changing your fuel feed volume, whether you have adjusted your tune or not.  Larger injectors will spray more fuel given equal pulse lengths.  I would want to make sure that the HPFP feeding those injectors was providing adequate pressure and volume to maintain consistent fuel feeding.  If you are going with larger injectors, install the larger fuel pump.  Its a relatively easy install, just pull the intake and swap out the pump and stainless steel fuel lines.

When you say change the Fuel Pump you are referring to the High Pressure Fuel Pump?  If so, where is it located? Under the hood? “Pull the Intake” meaning the Intake Manifold?

The HPFP(High Pressure Fuel Pump) is located beneath the intake manifold.  You will have to remove the intake manifold to swap out the injectors, so you might as well do the HPFP at the same time since its right there and only 2 bolts.

 

The HPFP is circled in the image below. 

Note:  The heads DO NOT have to be removed to access the injectors and the high pressure fuel system, only the intake manifold.

Ahhh I see. Well the Intake manifold is also coming off for the Magnuson Supercharger too so like you said, now’s the time to do it.  Thanks for the advice.

When you are removing the fuel pump, you need to make sure you back out the bolts evenly, meaning do a turn on one bolt, then the other bolt, and so-on and so-on until the pump is free.  The same goes for the install as well, one turn on each bolt, then go to the other bolt, and continue until it is properly fastened.  Also, you should check the lash on the fuel pump to make sure things don't bind or slap.

Did you have a bad experience with the screws and that’s why I need to remove/install it this way?

No, that's just the proper procedure according the factory manual....
 

"Caution: Alternately loosen the fuel pump bolts one turn at a time until the pump is fully disengaged from fuel pump lifter follower. Trying to remove the pump bolts without even side-to-side loosening may result in pump plunger damage."

So all in all, I need to tell the Chevy Dealer Parts Guy, that I need a High Pressure Fuel Pump and a set of eight LT4 Fuel Injectors for a 6.2 Liter Chevy Silverado…correct?

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
