In this video I have a look at a customer’s 2016 GMC Sierra that was towed in because it had died on him. A few simple tests show the problem and lead us in the right direction. Now I am just waiting on approval from the customer.
-Enjoy!

I got a 2016 gmc 2500 hd 106k cranks but no start let it sit for a few days then it starts up
Won't run? Must need fuel. Lots of fuel!
I still dont understand why manufacturer's feel the need to have a fuel pump control module. Key on pump on 30 to 35 psi and control the pressure up at the engine with an electric solinoid or with vaccum.
You’re hilarious 😂 I have a 2016 Sierra Denali Duramax diesel and did a fuel pump assembly in my driveway Saturday, tried the bed tilt method but mine has a 36 gallon tank and it was too tall to get out so I had to drop the tank 6â€s also anyway with my floor jack and a chunk of 2 x 10 between the tank and the jack 🤬check me out @camperman8801
Love it.
If we look at the fuel pump control module installation on the truck you can see GM located the fuel pump control module underneath the vehicle without a protective sealed box with the module connector facing forward un-protected in the direction of oncoming salt spray in the winter time in NY. This is just crazy. The module connector wire seals are not designed for high pressure direct impinging salt spray. If the module was turned 180 degrees the harness could enter with the connector seals facing rearward which would prevent direct impingement salt spray.
From an electrical engineering vehicle EMC standpoint for fuel pump PWM current control (pump speed / flow control) you would want to locate the fuel pump control module near the in-tank fuel pump, which GM has done, but you would not leave the module and its connector / harness unprotected from the salt spray. The fuel pump module must have a heatsink, either case to air (like you see on the vehicle), or case to steel body (direct contact which would be more effective), but should have a protective enclosure around the module to protect it from salt spray where the harness(s) access from the side(s) through a grommet(s), for example. If I owned the truck I would probably make my own protective box for the fuel pump module and harness. I would make it out of aluminum (5052-h32 welded seam sheet metal which would also make a good heatsink).
What was the quote?
I enjoy these videos. My 2007 Silverado looks so much better underneath than so many GM trucks repaired on here. Despite 17 years of driving in the salt belt. GM must be making their vehicles more and more cheaply. The rust is ridiculous.
That Rust Bucket needs crushed
Another great video
Can you do any damage to circuits with a 4 amp light like this? I feel like all fuses are 10 or less so it should be fine for all applications, right?
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
Every time you show the underside of the new vehicles you work on I am amazed by the rust.
Have had to replace 3 pumps one in a ASTRO van I gave my son lasted 3 years 190,000 my S10 TRUCK 210,000 MILES, MY.92 suburban most all had at least 100,000 miles it's a pain on.the newest ones

They always fill it up first.
Love watching your video's. Very informative. Any videos out there showcasing your formal training? Where to learn and expand our knowledge? Thanks in advance.
I’m wondering what purple feels like. Sounds exciting!
Looking forward to part II Eric. Whatever happened to the young lady who use to be around your shop? Did she pursue an automotive career?
Look at that g.m rotting out soon to be a engine donor
Nice work
13:04 and Luna is waiting just like Ol Erick 😂
Junk GM
What model of Autel scanner is that?
Looking at a new scanner for our shop and want to escape Snap-On.
Show replacement of the pump and howmuch
Spares first thing to go
I want a Wilbert's Shirt!
Super helpful thanks!!
Replaced my fuel pump last year on a f150. Worked with brake cleaner. Used the pump relay with a wire and it did not prime. Bought an OEM-one at rockauto for 44 euro. Took 6 bolts out of the bed and replaced the pump from the upper side. The pump was 22 years old, so it was time.
Retired G.M. tech here. The idea of a pump in this location is stupid .Even worse for the module.
Scammers are out, I got a facebook request from Eric main south, just a scammer using your page to look like you, I called you and left a warning, stay safe
