1999 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 Crank - Will Not Start

Thanks, that helps. I see it now in the 1st edition C/K book but they deleted it in the 2nd. But mine still has the blurb about the oil pressure switch powering the pump. I guess the revision made sense to someone at the time, lol.

My 99 burb needed 3 new fuel pumps before I got one to work properly. When it didn’t start up before the new pumps I’d give it a whack on the fuel tank with a 2x4 and the pump would start right up. I had a shop do the pumps and we found that redline pumps made the gas gauge wildly inaccurate and the delphi worked out of the box.

Agreed that the brand of pump matters. I had similar issues on my '96 Suburban. OEM GM or Delphi is what I would try to get. There may be other good ones out there also. Unfortunately, AC Delco doesn't mean much these days. Might be good or not.
