Re: 98 tahoe possible fuel problem

It is still possible to have either, 1. a dirty fuel filter again if the tank wasn't cleaned after the fuel pump replaced. It can take a while to clog one. 2. You can have a bad fuel pump again. I have seen GM pumps go bad after a year, let alone jobber parts. A question for you. Do you often run your tank below a quarter full? If you do, you are killing your pump. The cool fuel is the only thing that the pump has to keep it from overheating. How many GM vehicles have you heard whinning at an idle? The pumps are on the verge of quitting. Get your vehicle to a certified GM mechanic at a dealer you trust. Trust me, there are honest dealers and mechanics out there. Not everyone is out to screw the little guy. I am a GM tech, and I pride myself on being honest, because I once was a shade tree, until I got layed off from my high paying plant job. I was forced to go back to my roots and learn a new job. I am now ASE and GM certified. I know where you come from, because I was there. Don't let a bad apple spoil the bunch. Trust your GM tech. Thanks
