99 Silverado Fuel Pump?
I just bought a 99 Silverado with a 5.3L from a friend. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me out.
1. He disconnected something that sounded electrical in the rear of the truck. Said it was running the battery down because it continued to run after the truck was off. Now the ABS and parking brake light stay on all of the time. Any clues as to what this might be?
2. Truck takes a little while turning over to start. It always starts but sometimes just takes 4-5 sseconds of turning over to crank. Could this be the fuel pump? Could these 2 be related? I called a dealer and they gave me a price on a pump and installation of about $650. Sounds kind of steep. I called Autozone and they said there are 2 different kind of pumps depending on a tag on the pump that is in there. One is about $275 and the other is about $350. Does this sound right? I would appreciate the help.
