2000 Chevy Silverado 5.3 random misfires
#1
I have a 2000 Silverado with 5.3 nv3500. Been chasing this random miss fire code for months. Did the following. Smoke test for vaccuum leaks, all new plugs and wires, replaced mass air flow sensor, replaced fuel pressure regulator. I checked fuel pressure and it is reading low like 40-45psi . I’m thinking that is probably an issue. So would I need to replace the fuel pump? Don’t want to keep throwing parts at it if it’s not going to fix it. Would appreciate anyone’s feed back and help thank you !

That pressure does seem low for a non-flex-fuel engine. That's at idle? Can you stick your fuel pressure guage to your windshield with duct tape (may need a longer hose) and go for a drive. Do a few WOT accelerations and check fuel pressures. See if you can correlate the misfire with lower fuel pressure readings.
