hello all,
tonight i started my LB7 and it was idling fine. then it died out. felt like it wasn't getting fuel. i have tried restarting it and everything turns over just won't start. i checked the fuel relay and it appears to be fine. not seeing any fuel at the bleed screw. any of you guys run into something like this. the truck only has 22,000 miles which i was thinking would be kind of soon for a fuel pump.
thanks in advance,
metin :help:

Did you check the prime on the fuel filter? Might want to check to make sure that it is keeping prime and that the ring is seated properly. As it takes is for it too lose prime and then the seal will not seat properly sometimes, might cause this..

Have you tried priming the water/fuel filter?? The primer pump is located on top of the water filter on the passangers side, big black button that you need to pump about 20 times.

Had the same problem recently. Turned out to be the filter head, although it could have been the filter as it was just serviced in June, but doubtfull as 3 months for a bad seal to show up seems a bit excessive.

hemisareslow,
Good poing I didnt see that in his signature... superchips for sure could be causing the no start....

IF you had a failure during tuning I can see a possible connection with the SC.
If so give one of our guys a call here and we will help you with the issue.

got it running. thanks for all the help. the first thing i did was return it to the stock tune. just in case it would end up going to the dealer. i had found the bleed screw but didn't know about the prime pump. when i [rimed it and bled it a few times it fired right up.
again, thanks for the help,
