2000 yukon XL 2500 no fuel pressure

have you checked to see if engine is firing? ignition module can go bad and you would loose fire and fuel at the same time. i replaced one on a chevy truck last week and it was located beside the ignition coil.

2000 dodge durango acts like it's out of gas

Could be just the fuel filter. A common symptom of a failed filter is for it quit at higher speeds, then start again after a rest period. A partially-clogged filter is still under pressure when just stopped and bleeds through some fuel with time so it'll start again. If this happens, you may be able to limp home slowly and change that filter. BE CAREFUL if you've never done this before, the fuel is under high pressure, it can spray all over you. And if you've ever run the tank very low or completely out and kept cranking on it, you can burn up the fuel pump because it wants to be immersed in gas to keep it cool.... Good luck.

2002 HD 1500 Chevroley 4WD 4 door truck engin lost power and died could start but when acelarated died max rpm 800 pulled filter turned key on pump shot a stream of gas 3 ft and stoped ran only secon

It is normal for the pump to run for two seconds when first switched on to pressurize the fuel system. It will turn on again when cranking and while running. I would still suspect the pump given your symptoms, however other problems could also give you the same symptoms. If it is the original pump from 2002, or more than about 7 or 8 years old, I would definitely replace it, and the fuel filter. Often the pump will go intermittent. I had one that I could restart and get down the road by hitting the bottom of the gas tank a few times!

My truck just suddenly started acting like it wasn't getting gas and stuttering, then it died and didn't want to start unless i was holding down the gas and now doesn't want to start at all and its not the...

for sure get under truck with someone else inside with a rubber hammer or a block of wood hit the tank in the center and ask the person to crank the engine if it starts yes fuel pump time this is quite often the problem if it doesnt work start new fuses first then fire at the plugs injectors and so on but almost sure 95% fuel pump as well change fuel filter or you may have bad gas but it ran good before and nobody put sugar in the tank

NOT GETTING ANY GAS TO ENGINE

It's either the fuel pump or your engine control unit. Try hot wiring the pump and see if it works. If it does you need a new brain.

Engine not getting fuel

your fuel pump needs to be replaced. i had the same problem but i had a full tank of gas in it. so the easiest thing for me to do was to pull back the carpet and cut a hole. instead of dealing with the weight of the 36 gallons. they tend to go every 100,000-150,000
