how long has the fuel filter not been changed? this item is a relatively inexpensive...i would replace it and put in some seafoam.

^second that. filter's prolly like 10 bucks, and a jug of seafoam is like 8, and you only need about 1/3 to a half bottle for your silverado. Mine used to bog down before i changed the pump (pretty sure thats why it died, it had froze and i tried to run it) and it would die if i wasn't gassing it at about 2500, and i tried isoheet, and it would work for about every fill up. I put half a can of seafoam in it this winter, and it hasnt done it since, but then again, it hasn't been below freezing over 2 whole weeks this winter season

Seafoam is a great product I saved a dude 1500 on his kawi ultra 150 cleaned up a stutter at mid throttle The injector flush works great too & clean that throttle body along with a filter
