I am sorry to say that if the old pump was putting out 40psi then the pressure switch will need the same psi from the new pump.
With the psi les then what the computer knows the engine needs it will not allow it to start and run.

SOURCE: 2004 Silverado crew cab has rattle around steering

If you feel this rattle while driving at low speed or turning at low speed it is likely a worn out steering shaft coupler, it is very common.

"All cylinders have 120 psi compression." I would be seriously concerned about this. Typically, an engine's compression should be much higher e.g. 180 psi or more. Could mud have gotten into the exhaust system causing restrictive back pressure?

Just replaced fuel pump in 2000 chevy 2500 and when put in gear feels like it might die but fine once it gets going?

Check for proper ground to fuel pump. did you replace the fuel filter? idle air control valve may be sticking or you have a vacuum leak.

No power to fuel pump - 2000 Chev Silverado 2500 series???

Whe you turn the key to the on position you should hear the fuel pump working for about 5 seconds. If not replace the engines oil pressure switch for the fuel pump is linked to this part. Once the engine reaches normal operating oil pressure the computer shuts the circuit off to the third wire from the oil pressure switch which is linked to the fuel pum feed and the computer then turns on the fuel pump relay to operate the pump

2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 6.0 litre fuel pump

lifting the truck bed off the frame works best if you dont have a lift..take the fuel neck loose from bed and remove bolts holding bed to frame from the drivers side..loosen the bolts on passenger side..raise the bed on drivers side while watching bumper to bed clearance on passenger side.. you should get enough clearance to remove fuel pump from tank

Fuel Sending unit on a 2000 Chevy Silverado

if it is the fuel level sending unit you will have to replace the pump because they are a 1 piece assambly. it will be a task to change too as you will need to either remove the truck bed or drop the fuel tank to get to it.
