Never a symptom prior to that. I drove it to Cobleskill and then back to Altamont with about 2 gallons of coolant in the oil and it ran fine for about 6k miles after getting the gasket fixed. ---

go to the back, listen close next to the tank. Have someone turn ur key forward, without starting it and listen. If u cant hear the pump, then bingo! BTW im pretty sure you can hear it, most gm pumps are loud as shit. ---

My camaro fuel pump is loud as shit and thats all factory. ---

so started taking the fuel tank out today and when it was all un bolted and sitting on top of the jack I figured I would turn the key and see if it had power and the pump turned right on…wasnt able to see if it starts because I dont have a fuel filter on it cause i forgot to get one yesterday but it was pissing out fuel right away… I dont know if my gas gauge is broke and I was just out of gas? or the pump was locked up and now its free or what not. Im kinda confused lol. The gas tank is sitting at a angle on the jack thats why Im thinking my gas gauge was broke or my fuel filter was just clogged. ---

My Blazer’s gas gauge was 1/8 to 1/4 off (it varied). I ran it out of gas twice before I figured that out. ---

see now im confused lol my blazer had a blown driver side shock…so it was sagging down on the driver side more then the passanger…well the day It quit on me, I fixed the rear shock (I actually put my stock rear camaro shock on it, same length and works great…had to fab it a little) and now its sitting even…Im wondering if since it was sitting level if the pump sucked some air or what not or it sucked some shit up and clogged the fuel filter. ---
