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?

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
