The auxiliary transmission fuel pump system is prone to failure. This makes it so the start/stop feature will not work, as the vehicle will stall when stopped (causing an unsafe situation), and it cannot pass state inspection. The part is entirely unavailable from Chevy, and results in the vehicle being scrapped. There is no way to permanently bypass this system.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. LEFT FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ,AND THE ENGINE JUST STALLED, LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED THAT I HAD A 1\4 TANK OF GAS. SO I HAD IT TOWED HOME ANYWAY. THE NEXT DAY I WENT OUT TO START IT WITH NO LUCK. THEN I PUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK, AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP. NOW I KNOW THAT THE GAUGE IS 1\4 OF A TANK OFF. SOME AUTO TECHS HAVE TOLD ME THAT WHAT THEY CALL A FUEL CARD THAT IS LOCATED ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS BAD. JUST WONDERING IF THIS IS TRUE, BECAUSE IT IS A LOT CHEAPER THAN A FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE LOOKING OVER MY TRUCK PRIOR TO INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THREE CROSS MEMBERS TOTALLY RUSTED THRU. THE ARE ALSO THE MAIN SUPPORTS FOR THE GAS TANK AND THE SHOCKS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THE MORE I LOOK THE MORE I HEAR HOW COMMON THE RUSTED CROSS MEMBERS ARE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERS PARTS DEPT. AND WHEN I ASKED FOR CROSS MEMBERS HE TOLD ME WHICH ONES I NEEDED AND POINTED THEM OUT ON AN ILLUSTRATED BRAKE DOWN. AFTER THE TRUCK BED WAS REMOVED I NOTICED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE IS RUBBING AGAINST THE PLASTIC GAS TANK AND IS JUST ABOUT WORE THRU THE TANK TO ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF A PLASTIC SANDWICH BAG. THE CABLE HAS ALSO RUBBED AGAINST IT'S SUPPORT BRACKET ALMOST ALL THE WAY THRU AS WELL AS INTO THE CABLE. *TR
