2005 GMC Duramax, won't restart when when warm it has only happened a few times lately. Used the primer on the fuel filter and it starts. We have changed the fuel filter. Today it stalled when coming in the driveway. Again primed the fuel filter and it started. I saw a similar question and the solution was the fuel filter housing may be cracked. Do you think this is also our solution?

Make sure the old filters rubber seal didnt stick to the filter housing when you removed it. While you have the filter off clean up the housing to filter seal. Ut some engine oil on the filter rubber seal befre putting it back on. Costs nothing and just takes a half hour of your time.

I see that you had the injectors replaced 20,000 miles ago. I would still check the oil to make sure it is not overfull. The new injectors could be bad. If the oil level is not overfull then get a paper towel and touch the dip stick tip on the paper towel while oil is on the dip stick. If it's only oil it will not spread. If it has diesel in the oil the oil with spread. If this test doesn't show the injectors to be bad then you have three other possibilities. The FICM (fuel injection control module), the fuel pressure regulator, or the injection pump. It's hard to pinpoint what the problem is without running more tests and the only way to run those tests is with the computer the dealership has. Just so you know your injectors are still under warranty until 100,000 miles. Most likely you will have to take it to the dealership to get you truck fixed. I hope this helps you some.

Most likly the filter housing needs to be replaced and or the fule lines to and rom the housing. the housing has the plunger on top and the filter screwed under. The plunger goes bad on these and causes air to enter and then become air locked. this is also very comon on the IPR with the fuel filter housing mounted behind cab on frame rail driver side. road sault gets to these and degrades the unit untill it sucks air. On the c 4500 you need to get the oem fuel lines because of the tight space restrictions to route the lines. the OEM lines are molded to make the tight bends required.

Hope this helps... Good luck

2002 chevy 6.6 duramax wont start even in warm weather or after motor is warm..... only starts with starting fluid. codes are p0335/p0193/poo87/p0090

The Duramax fuel filter assembly is bad about sucking air. Replace the fuel filter assembly. It comes with a new fuel filter.
I need some good feedback.

After I fill the fuel filter back up on the duramax, how many times do I push the primer button and will the air go out on its own after idling for 3 minutes????

Just keep pushing the primer til it starts to get hard to push.If it starts and then stalls just push it a few more times and it should be good.Hope this helps.Good luck.
