Tired of fixing lousy engineering.
Occasionally I can hear my fuel pump whine when I turn the key to "on" (just before cranking) and I've been sniffing out a shaky idle problem (which I suspect is ignition related), but those two things together have me getting suspicious of my fuel pump.
At normal driving, the truck runs like a champ, especially good for a truck with 212K on it.
Anyhow, I have NOT checked fuel pressure, I don't own a fuel pressure gauge (yet). When I do get one, if I turn out to have weak fuel pressure, obviously I'll be looking to swap the pump.
I realize it's in the gas tank on these trucks. I don't think the Suburban is has difficult as the Tahoes and pickups since my gas tank is at the far rear of the vehicle where the spare tire normally is.
However, are there ways of putting an external fuel pump on instead, and just leave the dead one's carcass in the gas tank?
