Under load? Or just at idle?fuel pressure read good at the throttle body
Is the gauge accurate? How do you know?22 and 25 PSI on the fuel seems abit on the high side.

Driving down the road it was reading 25 psi, I don't recall but I'm pretty sure if I goosed it a little it would dip but so would the engine; I think I may have made some kind of choke point in my testing setup because I don't have a T-junction for the tester and don't have time to get one so I kind of jerry rigged a setup:Under load? Or just at idle?

I am really glad you are not giving up on this problem. Others may have caved by now. The problem is there and wants to be found. You are getting better at the thought processes with the suggestions. There was a member here that said something in another thread that was several posts in and it stuck with me. I am gonna paraphrase: These trucks are designed to let the owner work on them and not just hand the keys over to a shop every time there is a problem. "You are becoming ONE with your truck". Not trying to be a smart ass. Just letting you know that it is commendable that you are still soldiering on. I gotta say, I do have more fun working on my girl's 1990 K2500 than I do working on my GMT800 2005 Tahoe. Even though her truck is 34 years old, there is still an abundance of quality parts and quality info to keep it going. Efff those communist turds that want to tell me what I should drive and what I can drive.Driving down the road it was reading 25 psi, I don't recall but I'm pretty sure if I goosed it a little it would dip but so would the engine; I think I may have made some kind of choke point in my testing setup because I don't have a T-junction for the tester and don't have time to get one so I kind of jerry rigged a setup:You must be registered for see images attach
kind of a crappy photo from my phone but I marked it for some clarity. That first bend isn't as tight as it looks from that angle but that length and the more narrow t-section at the tester may have bottlenecked the fuel some, I dunno. The gauge itself is accurate, yes.
I'm thinking tomorrow I may test it again but shorten the line as much as I can and see if I can scrounge up some wider fittings
Thanks, lol - I don't have a whole lot of experience under my belt yet but I've been working on learning everything I can about working on my own vehicles so I don't have to take them to a mechanic for pretty much anything besides a tire alignment; it's very frustrating sometimes but the taste of victory is oh so sweet...I am really glad you are not giving up on this problem.

Yeah, when you accomplish something or finally fix the stubborn problem, that is one for the memory banks.Thanks, lol - I don't have a whole lot of experience under my belt yet but I've been working on learning everything I can about working on my own vehicles so I don't have to take them to a mechanic for pretty much anything besides a tire alignment; it's very frustrating sometimes but the taste of victory is oh so sweet...
