After driving my 2001 2500HD for about 20min it will not resart after shut off. :rant: The only way to get it to start is to cycle the key 8-10 times.

I thought it was the fuel pump or filter and have replaced them both.

Please help.

I've had a similar problem. GM replaced the pump & "module" and three days later the truck did the same thing. It hasn't "failed to start" in a while now but I'd like to check that fuel pump relay for myself. Where is it located?

When I started this post I stated that the truck would restart after cycling the key. Now it dies going down the road and will not restart untill after about 30-40 min. :):chevy: The truck is not hot temp wise but I think it may be electronics getting hot. The engine is the 8.1 liter w/ Allison. The truck has been at a shop and I have not heard if they have found anything. I can not afford a dealer to look at it so if anyone has anything please post back!!!

Man oh Man. It sounds like you can't afford NOT to take your truck to a dealer. I see it all the time. You will spend all your money at that indy and when your at your wits end you will bring it to a dealer and they will fix it in no time. It really is a sad that people have the misconception that indies are cheaper. :banghead: . Sometimes I find it kinda funny and I have made a lot of money on indy rejects. You know, the ones that after they suck your money and then they say its in the "computer" system and you will have to go to the dealer. Please pay your bill. :thumbs: . OK, I will step off my soap box now. Sounds like you need a crank sensor. I have seen it many times. Be very careful, it can break off in the block and it is a real pain to get out if it breaks. Good luck and post back with any problems.

Sorry to get you going! :banghead: I am union all the way and for the most part your probably right :cheers: !! :thumbs: But I've been locked out of AK Steel :D in Middletown Ohio for almost six months and being married with SIX kids unemployment just ain't cutting it. Hopfully I can get this fixed and be back to work soon. Thankyou for your help and if you have anymore please add it.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
