Thanks for the suggestion.

How do you check out the CP3 Fuel pump regulator?

Engine idles fine

ECM lost VIN after altenator went bad and truck almost shut down when batteries went dead.

Replaced ECM

Don't know which pressure they were showing me at the GMC shop on the computer.

My curosity is why does the truck start great in the morning when the engine is cold and just crank over when it is hot?

i had a ford idi 7.3 that when it was cold would fire right up then when it got hot it would not start unless i used some kind of starting agent
when your wife ran it out of fuel your injector pump was ran dry no lube means alot of wear real quick and i think that is your issue
