On the 1990-2000 Chevrolet C/K 2500, same fuel pump failure issue as the C/K 1500. The dual-tank equipped models have an additional failure point with the tank selector valve which can cause fuel starvation.

This issue also affects: Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet Express, Chevrolet S-10

Common Symptoms

  • Engine stalling
  • Hard starting
  • Loss of power
  • Fuel gauge inaccuracy

How to Fix

Confirm the fault by checking fuel pressure at the TBI or CPI rail and verifying pump power/ground at the tank connector; low or unstable pressure, especially under load, usually indicates a failing in-tank pump or restricted strainer. Replace the in-tank fuel pump module, sock/strainer, and fuel filter, and inspect the tank wiring connector for heat damage; on dual-tank trucks, also test the tank selector valve for proper switching and fuel flow because a failed valve can mimic pump failure and cause starvation. If one tank reads incorrectly or the gauge is erratic, inspect the sending unit while the tank is down and replace it if worn. Typical repair cost is about $350-$900 for a single pump job, or $500-$1,200+ on dual-tank models if the selector valve or both sending units need service.

Typical repair cost:$400 - $900
