| Wire plug inside gas tank overheated an melted the wires and the plug. the pump of course stopped working so truck would not start. about 3 years ago the fuel pump was replaced under warranty by hubler chevrolet on us31 in greenwood. i do not know if this was the same problem then. the bill says they replaced the pump at that time. this time the truck was not under warranty so i was going to replace the fuel pump myself. when i pulled the pump from the tank i found the burnt wires. i bench tested the pump and it still worked. also the wires for fuel gauge were melted. the fuel gauge had been working off and on for about two weeks. i was waiting for warmer weather to pull the fuel tank and fix it when this happened. as hot as it had to get to melt the way it did, my family and i are fortunate that the fuel tank did not explode. *jb | |||

| Z71 full size pickup re: fuel pump failure...talked with three other owners of this vehicle and all had identical problem with fuel pump failure. dealer gave no explanation of failure. re: electrical system...one panel on interior stayed hot even after the key was removed from ignition and truck shut off...cruise control remembers is last speed even after truck has been shut off..this caused me to accelerate to nearly 50mph on a curved entrance ramp merely by turning the cruise on (not setting it)..truck simply resumed speed i had set last (70mph) from the day before. i have talked to too many people who have had electrical problems and fuel pump problems with this vehicle for this to be coincidence. | |||
