- i had this same problem with mine.turned out to be the fuel pump,you do need to put a fuel pressure gauge on it ,i did see mine make one little loss in the pressure that only lasted a tenth of a second,so i changed the fuel pump out.i replaced the pump,screen and wire harness,got the parts at oreilleys,cost a whole130.00 better than 850.00. was a pretty simple fix.have not had any more problems with it,mine is a z71 4x4,these are good trucks,i will keep this one for a longggg time.doubt if i will ever get rid of it...

Check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve, the valve is along the fuel line by the distributor cap and there should be 62 to 65 PSI. Anything different will give you a not start or run, The other things too that would stall the engine would be a faulty oil pressure sending unit, anything less then 4 psi will shut the engine down and a faulty ignition module will do this too. Once the module heats up it fails, it's common for moisture to develop in the distributor and corrosion occurs to the wires leading to the module. Start with the simple and check the fuel pressure and then to the gauges, like the oil and then the ignition module. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help you resolve the issues to your GMC.
