Default 2006 Sierra with stealth 340 intank. Truck running weird..

Alright,

I bought a basket case(wasn't running due to MAF issues) of a truck 2006 Sierra Denali. Has a D1sc on it, intercooled with meth on 15psi. 3 bar speed density tune with HP tuners(changing to 2 bar for better resolution shortly).

Now the truck came with a aeromotive stealth 340 in tank. Retunless setup. 2 days ago I mounted an aeromotive fuel reg, ran a new -6 return line to the tank(dumps in the top of the tank). Regulator is boost referenced. I gutted the stock fuel bucket, Its just the stealth 340 in the bucket with a sock on it. I removed the everything including the little white plastic clip deal on the bottom of the bucket. I did not remove the small check valve flaps on the bottom of the bucket. I ran 5/16 fuel injection goes from the pump to the pump bucket hat.

Now the truck ran great for a day, did some tuning, couple WOT pulls and the truck felt fine. Now driving home the thing barely runs, It got progressively worse. At first it was a couple hiccups cruising down the highway, eventually I could barely touch the throttle without it wanting to die. Im going to pull the tank tomorrow again just to go over everything but am looking for any input/opinions in the mean time??

Thanks,

Matt

I wouldn't drop the tank before testing the fuel pressure.

just realized one thing that I will fix, but doesn't explain why the truck ran well for 1 day then the next like ****...

The fuel return does not go directly into the basket. I will make a line so it fills into the basket using submersible fuel line.

Fuel pressure is rock solid at idle, free revs fine.. I might make a cheater line and run the gauge so I can view the pressure while driving around.

To put an end to this thread... My 3 bar map sensor from DIY Autotune that was a month old had a bunch of moisture and rust in it, sensor fell apart and one wire inside eventually broke off.

Might want drop tank soonish, and REPLACE that hose you ran from Pump to HAT.
Needs to be legit " Submersible Fuel Hose " with Gen-U-Wine fuel injection clamps..
