Removal Procedure
- Remove the air intake pipe. Refer to
Air Intake Pipe Replacement
.
- Disconnect the air conditioning (A/C) compressor clutch electrical connector.
- Disconnect the A/C cut out switch electrical connector.
- Remove the drive belt. Refer to
Drive Belt Replacement
in Engine Mechanical - 6.6L.
- Remove the A/C compressor bolts.
- Move the A/C compressor with the hoses attached to the right side of the
engine compartment.
- Remove the water outlet tube. Refer to
Water Outlet Tube Replacement
in Engine Cooling.
- Disconnect both main harness electrical connectors.
- Remove both main harness electrical connector
to bracket bolts (1).
- Remove the main harnesses from the bracket.
- Disconnect the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor electrical connector
(1).
- Disconnect
the barometric pressure (BARO) sensor electrical connector (1).
- Disconnect the glow plug relay electrical
connectors (1, 2, 3).
- Disconnect the fuel rail temperature sensor
electrical connector (1).
- Disconnect the left front fuel injector
electrical connector (1).
- Disconnect the left rear fuel injector electrical
connector (1).
- Disconnect the fuel pressure regulator electrical
connector (1).
- Disconnect the oil level sensor harness
electrical connector (1).
- Remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) hose from both valve covers.
- Reposition the injection pump inlet clamp.
- Remove the injection pump inlet hose from the fuel feed distribution (leak-off)
block. Reposition the hose.
- Clean the fuel pressure regulator and high
pressure injection pump thoroughly with solvent, such as GM P/N 12377981
(Canadian P/N 10953463), or equivalent.
- Using compressed air, thoroughly blow dry the regulator and pump.
- Remove the 3 fuel pressure regulator screws (1) using a T25 TORX®.
- Remove the fuel pressure regulator (1).
Important: DO NOT use compressed air to remove debris while the fuel pressure regulator
is removed.
- If dirt or debris is found in the bore or seating surfaces of the fuel
injection pump, perform the following:
• | Place a clean rag over the pump bore in order to collect the excess fuel. |
• | Bump the engine over in order to flush any debris out of the regulator
bore. |
Installation Procedure
Important: If the pressure regulator is being re-used, check the O-rings for damage. If
the O-rings are damaged, install NEW O-rings.
- Lubricate and install NEW O-rings onto the
regulator. Lubricate the O-rings with clean, NEW engine oil.
Important: If the regulator is installed at an angle the O-rings may be damaged, resulting
in possible fuel leakage.
- Install the fuel pressure regulator (1).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Install the 3 fuel pressure regulator screws (1) using a T25 TORX®.
