I do all my own work and use youtube for rare jobs and let me tell you Aaron, your videos are top notch and some of the best on youtube. Well done!!

Thank you, Aaron, your videos, show good clarity and good description and details. No skips at all your video Deserves a five star ratings thank you.😊

Great video! Just did the HPFP in my wife’s Yukon. Having the 90 impact ratchet makes a world of difference. Also, the install plug is great, I didn’t buy it, you can look down in #1 intake port and see the intake valve, and turn the motor til you get to valve overlap, then you know you’re TDC on exhaust stroke.

Super helpful. Thank you for putting lots of details. This guided me through a 2020 Silverado.

Very nice! I'm actually going to change mine this weekend. I have the same issue!

Great video man I’ve seen many of these videos about changing the high-pressure fuel pump in yours is by far the best

Thanks Buddy! Just got a code for that same problem.

Nice video. Get a set of "Crow's feet" attachments for your torque wrench to measure wrench torque.

Great video!!! How can you relive fuel pressure if the engine won't start?

The fuel pump you’re recommending is unavailable everywhere. Do you have another recommendation?

Great video! I'm wondering if the ticking noise I'm hearing is actually the HPFP. I also have the rich codes and dieseling on occasion.....

Thanks this is what’s happening now with my 2015 Yukon sle. The problem I’m having is that I have to add oil down the road after a fresh oil change and I’m getting p0172 and p0175 codes is this a hard project to do on my own

Hello Aaron, thank you for the video. Do you know if the 4.3 HPFP is in the same location? Thank you.

Awesome thank you !

Excellent video...

Great video, how long did this take you from start to finish? Thank You

In the video you mentioned you would post a link to the pattern for tightening the bolts on the manifold cover. I don't see the link. Is there a source for this? Thanks!

Hello. I am doing car maintenance in Korea. I was impressed by your video. Could you tell me how to get a plug to check the cam position before replacing the high pressure pump? It's hard to find just the number on the plug. Can you help me?

What is the psi of the high pressure fuel pump...? Thanks - great video

My hero

How do you verify all the gaskets lined up perfectly? Lol that would drive me crazy putting that on

Would a fuel leak down test work as well?

Does it matter if tdc is on intake or exhaust stroke?

I get the P0090 code ever time it rains, I can clear the code and it runs fine. Took to GM dealership and the insisted the high pressure pump was bad. Right now I’m at $1500 ac pump replacement and reassembly. I keep seeing other included in this thread are see this come back it’s due to the harness?

By the way great video

Where can I find a pump at? Came across your video and can't find one online or local dealer.

How do you remove the electrical connector to the pump on the left side?

What happens if you install the pump without lowering the camshaft?

Did you reinstall the clips in the back

Did used the tool but still won’t fire up everything at specs. Could it be a lot air in the system

Hey what’s the worse problem if this isn’t replaced

2019 Silverado 5.3. Anyone know where the valve is to check fuel pressure? Thanks

Anyone know if the 5.3 and 6.2 have the same rating psi wise.

Get a set of crows feet and you can put torque wrench 90° to the crows foot. It's important to get this right.

I did this and it didn’t change my situation. I’m wondering if my o2 sensors are bad .

I recommend getting some crows feet to due the torque properly on that pipe. Also did you use clean motor oil on the intake gaskets? Priming the line I think should be about three key turns without starting

I just did the job and improperly torqued these down by not holding the crow's foot at 90 degrees. I thought they were at 22 ft-lbs, but after smelling gas, I had to take off the intake again. I found that I had really torqued them to about 15-18. Properly using the crow's foot, I got about 1/4 of an extra turn, and my leak stopped.

Awesome video! I need help. I am getting a steady 45 psi on my car 2011 suburban 5.3. I feel like its dumping fuel because my fuel gauge goes down more than normal. I see everyone else mention 50 to 60 at the rails but i am using my expensive x431 scan tool to check everything. All of a sudden after 1 month of using e85 its been extremely bad. Fuel gauge drops fast. I cant find no wet fuel leaks by the engine compartment. My mpg normal at 15 to 18. Now feels like 6. I am also using a scan gauge to read the mpgs and its not bad hwy is 18mpg both dash and scan gaugeii. What the hell is there a small leak some where only when its on?

Great write-up. How was your HPFP packaged when you received it? Reason I'm asking, I purchased a "new" hpfp and when it arrived the packaged appeared to have been opened and taped. The pump was in a clear bag with a zip tie and then wrapped in brown paper and bubble wrap inside the AC Delco box. The pump look overall new however the bolts are questionable and I could tell there was some fluid coming out of the fitting ends. Wasn't sure if they prime them or test when made. I may return and get via the link you provided but was just curious on those question.

hey Aaron, I have a 2017 GMC 1500 6.2 and my truck constantly goes into limp mode when it rains. Then the other day it is now permanently in limp mode. Im down in the Yucatan Peninsula and there isnt much help, so its basically a do it yourself scenario. We found that the High Pressure pump was bad, so we changed it out, really not knowing what we were doing, and the guys did not put the number 1 piston on TDC. Im having them remove it, and placing piston 1 on TDC as you suggest since we do not have the guid tool available. We only ran the motor for several minutes, we are getting 80psi on the low pressure side and only about 85 on the High pressure side. So Im assuming it might be the incorrect installation? I was reading that the plunger can get damaged over time do to lack of oil changes, I bought this truck used, so who knows, but do you know if we can change out the CAM plunger if it ends up that it was damaged? I still need to figure out why it goes into limp mode when it rains...thats like trying to pin down the location of a bad smell..lol Hoping you might be able to help! Cheers.

@Aaron where is your garage

Great video aaron! I like the detail you went into,should this fuel pump be changed when you hit 150k to avoid gasoline ending up in the crankcase?

@lichking3711

Жыл бұрын

imo no, just look out for stumbling as it starts to lose pressure and check your oil periodically. Gasoline contamination will give it a different smell and yes, it will be overfilled even if you filled it correctly last service. Oil doesn't magically appear so unless someone added oil for some reason, an overfilled engine will mean gasoline dilution. Don't delay the repair either, oil mixed with gas will not provide enough lubrication and the wear on the crank, rods, cam will be accelerated.

@lichking3711

on this generation of SBC the high pressure fuel pump has a regulator integrated into it, it's the little cylinder with a 2 or 3 wire plug to it. Controls the fuel rail pressure and it can also go bad but I would do it as a unit - regulator and pump. Not sure if the regulator would even be listed separately.

Yikes that little 6710 is expensive. Can't I just use a dial gauge and stand to figure out when the cam lobe is located at the base circle (= lowest point)? Do I also need to figure out if the #1 piston is at TDC/exhaust stroke, or is the cam lobe being at the base circle position sufficient?

@lichking3711

Жыл бұрын

cam lobe's position should be enough but cyl 1 tdc is the sure way. As I understand, it's just so there is no extreme spring pressure preventing the pump from seating properly - it has a machined surface and a metal gasket after all.

I just did this job. (2hrs) I removed the #1 spark plug, then I set the old fuel pump in place. Turned the crank until the #1 piston came to TDC and watched the fuel pump drop to its lowest point. The intake valve which you can see down in the port was closed so I bolted it down evenly from side to side and then torqued it to specs. Done! Hope that helps.@@lichking3711

@michaelbrady4208

2 жыл бұрын

Here’s an old school way. With the intake off, pull #1 spark plug, put a screw driver in the spark plug hole, then turn the motor off the crank bolt til you feel the piston hit the screwdriver and push it up. You’ll hear air being pushed out of the hole if you’re on the compression stroke. If the piston is going up and you hear no air being pushed out, then you’re on exhaust stroke.

@michaelbrady4208

2 жыл бұрын

Then look down in the intake port, you can see the valve from behind its seat, slowly turn the motor until you see the intake valve BARELY crack open or move, when it BARELY moves, you’re at “valve overlap” when both intake and exhaust valves are both barely opened, and that’s TDC.

@michaelbrady4208

2 жыл бұрын

Also, if you can’t hear air escaping, plug the spark plug hole with your finger and slowly turn the motor by hand, you’ll feel pressure against your finger if it’s on the compression stroke, then you know you need to come all the way up and then back down, then next time going Up you’ll be on the exhaust stroke.

You used the open-end of the wrench backwards.
