Mine did the exact same thing. It was the pump. It was not a GM pump and i've heard from a few sources you have to use a GM pump as the other ones all fail.

Thanks Everyone but we still haven't figured it out yet. I have checked the fuel pump and its not that,so i have checked so many things including the module iginition but for some reason when my truck dies after driving it around for about 30 mins the fuel pump is not on at all so im lost. Any help would be wonderful. it ill is dying on me so i no its something in the front end but not sure where and why.. HELP

The only other thing you may need to check is the ECM,when they go bad they run good,then not.

All so check the wires under the relay that hooks into fuse box,may be loose,

04 gmc sierra 1500 5.3 died on me on the highway got it towed home starting going at it, hooked two different scanners to it and not throwing any codes (ecm is working bc the map was reading correctly but also the rpm was zero) anyways checked fire none checked injectors they wasnt working either(built fuel pressure then unplugged fuel relay then turned engine over and the pressure stayed the exact same) i assume it might be the crank sensor but i would think it would throw a code, anyways came back this morning and before doing anything for the hell of it i checked the gas cap and tightened it and it fired up perfect three different times and the last time i let it run and it died after bout 45 seconds (fuel pressure reads 55) and after it died its doing the same thing cranks but wont fire or start 1 Answer
