Fuel Pump Replacement 2015 Chevy Silverado in 10 Minutes

[@123456bpb]

Have been a professional mechanic for 55 years, a back yard and my farm mechanic for 60 years. Thank you for the pro video. Your the best!

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Wow! Thank you Robert, that means a lot sir!

[@prmayner]

No disrespect but what kind of pro mechanic have you've been? Lawnmowers? This procedure has been out there for decades and it takes a tad longer than 10 minutes. I think he left off a number.

[@123456bpb]

So you asked. I have been a Technical Rep for two Multinational Tool Manufacturers, a licensed Motorcycle Mechanic, a licensed Millwright (Industrial Mechanic), a Certified Pressure Vessel Welder for the world's largest coal fired generation station and a Maintenance Planner for that generating station for many years. In retirement I operate an Excavating Company while maintaining my personal provincially significant wetland project. I repair my cars, my trucks, excavators, diesel lawn mowers and a large collection of motorcycles and virtually everything. Regarding the procedure in question; The video was good, the author was interesting and a benefit to the public. The method the author used is entertaining and not an issue. It is not the method that I use as I own a crane and prefer to lift the box off the chassis.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Wow!! I think 10 minutes of hearing from your experience must be worth a lifetime of classes- really!! Impressive!

[@terencescott3957]

Thanks for the video. I've watched a ton of videos and decided not to remove the bed and drop the tank. Your method seems to be the most simple of all i've seen.

[@unknownuser1179]

Thank you very much for this guide, I don't like anyone else touching my truck after taking it to Firestone for a radiator replacement and getting it back with a cracked head gasket. I have an 09 LT 5.3l crewcab flexfuel incase anyone is wondering, the 4 bolts are almost in the same location, with 2 extra ones near the tailgate. Worked like a charm and saved money while learning something new. I call that a good day

[@unknownuser1179]

Make sure you loosen the bolts on the passenger side do not take them all the way off as the tailgate will kind of fly away from you

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Yep!! I’m totally with you there! Sorry to say but just assume when you take your car in to get one thing fixed, another thing will break. This has happened to me time and time again. Yep!

[@skunkedagain]

Great solution. I actually only need to replace the evap sensor and couldn’t get to it. Others had me blindly reaching up there or dropping the tank. But your idea is simple, safe, and effective. Thanks for taking the time to document! Tim

[@techwrightauto]

I just did this job on a 2015 Silverado quad cab short box truck (same as yours). We're in WI and fuel pump module was rotted out and leaking from rust. I tilted the bed but I couldn't get it to go high enough to get the fuel pump module out. I think its because my customer's truck had the passenger rear bumper pushed in because he backed into something. I'm still glad I lifted the bed to get the lock ring off because these are a bugger and having the tank bolted to the truck really helps with a long breaker bar on it. Then I had to drop the tank anyways to get the pump out and in. If you're doing this job because of rust, pickup a new lock ring and also the fuel supply tube that comes off the top of the pump and connects down behind the charcoal canister the rusty end just came off the pump and was stuck in the end of the fuel line. My dealer had one for $35 and I was good to go. They redesigned it to have a plastic end at the pump instead of a stainless one. Thanks for the video :)

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Mike, very good advice!

[@sladeoutdoors1432]

This video helped me royally, This might help others. I have a 16 Silverado LT for the smaller box, they have 3 bed bolts on each side, mine were so seized on there the back 2 came off, easily, the other 4 I had to grind off, you have to take the spare out from underneath if you go this route to get access and for the pin connectors for the back up camera ect, you have to pull the red tab down and press in the black tab on top of it to release it

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Long live ICE trucks lol

[@johnmagana6608]

By far the easiest way to get to the fuel pump system. Best video I seen on you tube 👍🏼. I have a 2003 chevy silverado 1500HD SIDE STEP/SPORTS BED. And it seems like almost everything is similar. The only difference is the way you get to the fuel pump system. GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU!!!!! 🔥 🔥

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Right on John! Glad you enjoyed!

[@Breezywindow]

Thanks man! I need this done and the dealer quoted me at $961 total to replace this. Now I can do it myself with the cost of parts only!

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Awesome bro! Glad to help!

[@TaniaAlfaro]

@@sciencebygabrawy hey is the fuel filter located inside the pump? My 2012 Silverado hesitates when I hit he gas then 3 seconds later the gas kicks in I think my fuel filter is bad

[@henryholliday1]

my mechanic quoted me $900

[@wizper1983]

my dealer quoted ne a total of $1,800. Screw that might as well do it myself

[@peskycitizen66]

Apparently the fuel pump anywhere from 500 to $1200.​@henryholliday1

[@mistyhatton6926]

Excellent video dude you are freaking genius. I’m having the same problem with mine. Just put new spark plugs in it and it didn’t help the problem. I believe I’m having the same fuel pump problem and I’m gonna try it the way that you did it. That’s an awesome way of doing it. You have a great day. Thanks for your help, Bryan

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Thanks for the compliment Bryan! Go get er done!

[@VictorPerez-ix7ip]

and the gas cap hose. You missed teaching us how to remove it. but your video is good. greetings from Sinaloa Mexico

[@Edsoutdoors]

Very brilliant I have done it that way a few times or you remove all of the bolts except the two in the very back and loosen those up create a dump bed out of it if you have a tractor or a hoist.. And yes it does not take Four hours like the dealer says they just want their money

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Ed, yep I agree. It pays to be able to fix your own cars and toys and tools ha

[@leoshottest34]

Man thanks for the help! My pump went out on a oilfield lease road had to change it out on pad.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

You bet! Go get em!

[@fctryoffetsh39]

Man your trucks new i have a 2010 same pump hope ya have better luck

[@Strunz0]

This looks like a great way to save time. I'm having a problem with my '16 5.3L that is throwing low fuel pressure codes and rolling thick white smoke. It enters "Reduced Engine Power" mode and flips the stability management off. It's my understanding that there isn't a Fuel Pressure Regulator on these trucks and the fuel pump actually modulates and relieves excess pressure. You think I am on the right track looking into a fuel pump replacement?

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hey Rob, it’s sounds like you might on the right track.. the white smoke is throwing me off though. Every time I’ve had white smoke coming out the tale pipe I’ve went straight for the head gasket. The heads can heat and cool at different rates from the block when they’re made out of different metals causing the gasket in between to slowly weaken. Is your oil good? If it’s milky then it’s gotta be the head gasket. I just wanna make sure you’ve exhausted all diagnostics as replacing the fuel pump is a fairly good size project.

[@buildmotion1426]

Wow this is great! You take all the fear out of doing it myself. Thanks!

[@timothyleegriffith]

May I ask if stuttering at start up and idles out fine after 6-8 secs is a symptom of a bad pump? Thanks fam!

[@johngeorge6373]

what was your secret for getting the pump to clear the bottom of the bed? I'm up as I as I can get and still hinged, like I've put a small dent in the bottom corner of my bed with the bottom of the box ( I can live with that), but I can't get that freaking thing out. looks like the bottom of the pump is exactly the same size as the hole going int and there's no ability to tip it.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

I think I propped the bed up around 9”. Then after I lifted the pump up halfway, I’m pretty sure I had to spin it 180 degrees, then tip it towards the front of the truck as I continued to pull it out. Sorry for cutting all that out of the video. I think maybe because it was tough, I needed both hands. Try those maneuvers.

[@williamhammond3998]

Life saver! I’m sure this is going to save me a ton of money.

[@williamhammond3998]

And it did. I have a buddy with a forklift. We ended up just lifting the entire bed up and out of the way. The new pump went in and the job was done in an hour or less. Before seeing this video I was going to try to drop the tank and that wouldve been a nightmare.

[@ghostwriter6699]

Thanks - great video -- will try it next weekend

[@edgarrodriguez5913]

Great job really helpful thanks for the video

[@gregallen9065]

Tilt bed solution.....that is what I do and I live in Ohio with lots of road treatments in winter so lots of rust and corrosion due to that. I have a 2001 ext cab Silverado and I keep my bed bolts lubed when I re install them and have never had an issue with raising the bed in the 12 years I have owned it and have had the bed tilted on several occasions for fuel pump, brake line change, abs unit repair, etc.

[@BellozeCountry]

Thanks so much for this info, my truck is the same model, n I have lost power n acceleration I wonder if my pump n filter can be an issue? May still need a tune up.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Roger, yes I mean that’s exactly what was happening with mine. I’d swap out the filter first, then get it diagnosed if it’s still causing issues. If you don’t have a diagnostic tool, Auto Zone may be able to pull some codes for free. Or spend the $100 diagnostic at the shop before swapping out the pump. Good luck sir!

[@ricksters11]

Thanks for the video, I own the 2014 with 5.3L. Couldn't help but wonder where you are located considering the immense amount of rust and corrosion you have under your truck. I am in Georgia, don't have anywhere near the level of rust here. In case you ever buy a car or truck online or out of state, I'd say here is good compared to there, no offense...

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Ruckusmaker, I’m in Minnesota! So that explains the rust lol. It’s funny how so many people noticed because this is completely normal and expected ha. I appreciate the tip!

[@brad8665]

I work on these trucks for a living at the dealer. For anyone attempting this also check the electrical contractor for the pump I’ve seen them burn out too causing intermittent no start. And there’s no way that pump is $1100-$1300. A Delco pump from the dealer is maybe $500-$600 max. And with something like a fuel pump you need reliability. OEM parts only.

[@MYCHANNELWITHMYSTUFF]

If it was reliable it would not have to be replaced in only 4 years

[@Gsxr5slow]

My pump goes in and out. I can leave it sitting for a day it will start i can drive it anywhere then as soon as I turn it off from driving it wont start. Leave it for a few days it will start again. Would you replace the fuel pump or the fuel pump flow control module. When I turn the key on the pump makes no noise so I'm leaning towards the pump. Just want to know before I drop 500 on a pump.

[@lmfr11]

@@Gsxr5slow having the exact issue you were having. Changed 3 pumps already and they all seem to work fine for a while until the problem returns. I’m thinking also fuel control module. What did you end up doing ?

[@Gsxr5slow]

@@lmfr11 I ended up just replacing the pump and everything has been fine since. That’s odd you’ve replaced it 3 times and it’s still happening. I even order the cheap pump and it’s worked out great.

[@areyougoodbro2187]

I have replaced mine 4 times. Going with the flap instead if gas cap was an idiot decision from GM. I think sediment is at the bottom from years of dirt road driving.

Got it done in 2 hours, thanks again for the video

[@NathanNosar-qw3kl]

Great video. I’m having issues with the engine sputtering on acceleration. I got an error code for cylinder misfire on cylinder 3 and changed my spark plugs. It went away for about a week and is doing it again. I’m wondering if it could be the fuel pump but I have no idea. I have a 2016 5.3.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Yes the problem might be a bad fuel pump, but it may also be a faulty fuel injector or even a bad coil. Auto Zone may have a fuel pressure loan kit that you could hook up to the fuel rail to test your pressure.

[@plusblood5101]

Gr8 video I noticed you have proffesional Air tools

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Mmm kinda not really. I do have one pneumatic tool and a regular typical compressor. Yes, it does make the job easier.

[@lkazanov]

very nice...just please be careful. That's alot of weight. For a 2015, judging by the appearance, the truck has had a hard life.

[@Gooseblitz]

Great video. Is there a similar way to access on a Suburban?

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Of it’s not exactly the same, it’s gonna be very similar. Anyone else know?

[@robertomartinez6538]

How much do you pay for your gas pump and where do you buy it thanks for the video it really helps out a lot

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Roberto, I’m glad you liked the vid! I bought mine from delphia auto parts online. I believe it was $700 if I remember correctly.

[@benitoreyes9543]

This video is very helpful, thank you very much for sharing!!

[@bigmanthebigman8972]

what did you use your drill for when you reinstalled the new fuel pump? it didnt seem like you unscrewed anything when you took the old one out

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Bigman, there are no screws or bolts to take out the pump from the tank. Just a metal ring that spins to the left an eighth of a turn and it all comes out.

[@jaimegallo3930]

You are a god send

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Jaime, glad I can help!

[@bxbomber2365]

was messing with the relay fuses under the hood for AC reasons while my 06 sierra was on and took out the fuel pump relay fuse and now my truck wont start. could that have triggered the fuel pump to not work????

[@MrRGiller]

How many miles did you have on your truck before you started having issues with your fuel pump? I have a 2015 Silverado, 1500, 5.3 V8 and I have 54,000 on mine and seems to be running good still. Knock on wood.

[@jaimegallo3930]

Roy Giller mine just gave out at 70k 😕

[@MrRGiller]

@@jaimegallo3930 That's not good to hear. I hope that I don't have the same problem when I reach 70 thousand miles.

[@jaimegallo3930]

Good luck man. I have no idea how the previous owner took care of mine so that might have something to do with it. I got her at 60k and it just stopped working the other day. The fuel might have something to do with it but I have no idea.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hi Roy, I think it had around 50,000 when I first started noticing issues. Now it has maybe 85,000. I'm glad yours is still going strong!

[@lindseywoods2577]

My 2014 gmc fuel pump just went out at 135k, definitely will be saving some money doing this myself!

[@juanrrobledo89]

I have a question for you, did you experience any intermittent loss of power, like it wanted to shut off going over the highway overpass then it would straighten out and you start that next overpass do it again? I'm thinking it's the fuel pump

[@sciencebygabrawy]

For my situation, the pump would temporarily quit working till it cooled down again but I would simply be on flat roads 30mph. But your situation also sounds like it could be the fuel pump. With each overpass the driver must step on the gas a bit more. The pump heating up could very well be the reason in your situation too. I knew for sure when I would let it cool then got under and knocked on it and then it would fire up

[@jonienglish3231]

Good Video i thought these Trucks also have a Fuel Pump Module Driver that also has to Be Reprogramed ???

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hey Joni, Honestly I not sure but it’s been about one year now and the truck has been running perfectly since! I guess there may be certain models I suppose.

[@billthompson9595]

GREAT TUTORIAL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@Fadedrider1]

Dropping the tank is easy also took me 20 minutes to drop the tank. Now I can work on the tank on a work bench

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Good idea Ronny! It's too bad these parts go bad so quickly but anyway. Good luck bud!

[@andresh2107]

on the fuel tank pressure sensor wiring is there a clip that holds it in? Or does it just snap in and out? Swapped out the fuel pump module on my 2015 Chevy Silverado and getting error code P0451 which points to the fuel tank pressure sensor even though the new unit had a new one.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hey bud, if you’re talking about the whole sending unit that drops into the tank, it was just the one metal, flat ring that rotates to lock and unlock. That ring is what holds the whole thing in place and in the tank.

I've got a 16, with a 6.0, wanted to check pressure put can't find the Schrader Valve, got any thoughts?

[@sciencebygabrawy]

I gotta check, but it’s gotta be connected to the fuel rail that the injectors are also connected to. You might have to lift the top plastic cover piece on top of the motor. Any ideas guys?

[@johngeorge6373]

Covers off looked up and down, and under and behind. I'm thinking this thing doesn't have one. Slowly working over the bed bolts. Fronts and backs were easy two middle ones are a pain in the butt.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Yep, I hear ya. For the stubborn ones maybe some lithium grease and let it sit for a few minutes or put some heat on it.

[@madmattthehatter]

Couldn't get the bottom of the old pump out. Hole smaller than the pump. Might have had some tank deflection as I dropped the tank and had it sitting on a 2x6 on a Jack. Did it at a rest area in Idaho where it broke down. Would have lifted the box but have 100+ gallon tidy tank in the box.

[@3wheeler016]

The half ton Silverados of this gen have metal top fuel pumps, which in the salt belt last all of about 100k miles. My 2014 is currently rotted away and leaking at one of the elbows and tossing an evap code. Had 2 buddies last gen 1500s with the same problem and we dropped the tank...might give this a shot with mine instead! To those surprised with the rust, the shit wax coating GM uses is useless in the salt belt. Peels right off. I love my truck but damn is the frame rough looking after only 7 years.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Very very interesting, thanks 3 wheeler!

[@exmerion]

Mine had a plastic top and it developed a pin sized hole leak on the left side fuel sending line on the pump. It seems to be a common failure regardless of metal or plastic.

[@ChrisWrightDVM]

I have a 2014 and like you said, the elbow on the top fitting, which is curved and connects to the high pressure fuel line is rusty. And sure enough, that's the spot leaking. When you replaced yours, did you need to replace the entire assembly and the fuel line too?

[@3wheeler016]

I would recommend buying the lines for sure. They come as a set, couple hundred bucks from the dealer but worth the time savings. When I did mine I had to fight with picks and screwdrivers and PB blaster to get the line free from the rotted metal elbow and wound up having to put new tabs in anyways. I've done 2 other trucks since and made the owner buy the lineset. so much easier to drop the tank, pull the old pump with lines on it and toss it right in the trash. go back in with all new. @@ChrisWrightDVM

[@bluegelatinstudio]

4:28 What is that tool you’re using to get the ring loose?

I think I was using a pneumatic air hammer. This way I could use just one hand. It hammers very fast.

Um? Anywhere they put salt on the roads during the winter, every vehicle looks like this after spending a few years on the salted roads.

[@foxbodyguyeightyeight3672]

The fuse panels can also be to blame they corrode internally and will sometimes be misdiagnosed as a pump but really needs a panel.

I didn’t know that foxbody guy eighty eight, good to know

[@JonoFlex]

Yup I got a P12A6 code for fuel module to be replaced and it ended up being the fuse box being corroded. I have a 2015 Silverado

Hey let me ask you when your truck was giving you a problem when your truck was just sitting there running it idling and if you were standing outside of the truck doing something did you ever hear like a whining noise and then it would go away and then come back right away go back on and off

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Hey James, I’m trying to think back. I think the answer might be yes. Possibly. Sorry it’s been a while now. Does that noise sound similar to when you turn the ignition key forward a few clicks and the fuel pump turns on to prime the line?

Maybe it’s a really small leak? try calculating your MPG over several gas tank fills to see if it checks out. I suppose if the leak is small enough, the gas will just evaporate before hitting the ground making it undetectable. Idk

Anyone know if the quick disconnect actually matters? Mine is leaking on my 2017 Chevy Colorado for the main fuel feed. I was thinking about bypassing it and just using hose straps instead.

[@TheJcrandazzo]

Personally i would prefer a hose clamp. Quick connects are for mass production purposes.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

No lol, i think it took an hour or two. I just wanted to show you the critical parts :)

All of these trucks should be designed with an access panel in the bed. C'mon guys...

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Yep I absolutely agree 100%!

[@danielbarber8387]

I cut one in mine I can change my pump anywhere it goes out in minutes.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Genius, seriously.

[@82loboss]

Thank you!

[@jeffro221]

10 minutes.......sure, Commander McBragg, whatever you say.

[@prmayner]

You mean 10 minutes per bolt plus 10 to pull pump and 10 to put it back in. I think you left off a number.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

lol 😂😂 I honestly didn’t mean to be misleading. What I meant is learn how in 10 minutes. The vid is 10 minutes.

[@prmayner]

@@sciencebygabrawy gotcha, my bad. I've done it your way and cutting the bed and pulling the tank. pulling the tank is my last resort. retired mechanic.

[@kevinstorm6009]

Sorry man, but perhaps the next time you'll have a lapel mic or something. I stopped it since you were just mumbling through it.

[@wfolse454]

If you place a microfiber towel between corner of bed and cab you wouldn"t have tore into your paint at 3:30

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Oh smart! Thanks for the tip Wayne!

[@beanMosheen]

Why the %^%$ is the retaining ring not stainless, and why is it in a sump? Good ol' GM trucks as usual.

[@sciencebygabrawy]

So so true!

[@jonsmith3664]

One configuration. They’re not all like that.

[@rjt1789]

Wow these frames look awful. My fathers 11 silverado looks about as bad as that, and it hasnt been washed in 2 years
