Fuel pump failure by model year
What owners say
While driving 55 MPH fuel pump failed, causing the vehicle to stall. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Pickup truck from day one had a whining sound at fuel pump. Fuel pump failed much earlier than expected. Pump failed on me in on an extremely hot day (over 100 f degrees). I have a medical condition (paralyzed from the chest down). I drive this vehicle with the aid of hand controls. I was stranded for 2 1/2 hours with no A/C in the cab of my truck. I am very disappointed with the short lifetime of this fuel pump, and am wondering if others have experienced the same problem. My vehicle is the z-71 version of the chevrolet 1500 pickup truck.
