NHTSA Complaint #10541964 — 1996 CHEVROLET 1500

I HAVE A 1996 CHEVROLET C1500 ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH A 5 LITER WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH A 5.7 LITER. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT DUE TO THE OLD PART WAS NO LONGER GOOD. WITHIN 2 MONTHS THE NEW PART SHORTED OUT, FRYING ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE INSIDE PART OF SENDING UNIT, INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I AGAIN REPLACED THE PART THINKING I HAD BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE ITEM THE FIRST TIME. I AM NOW STARTING TO GET THE SAME SYMPTOMS IT HAD THE LAST TIME RIGHT BEFORE THE LAST SENDING UNIT WENT OUT. I DID AN ELECTRIC CHECK ON THE OLD/NEW FUEL PUMP AND IT WAS O.K. THE SYMPTOMS ARE, WHEN I'M COMING TO A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND DIES. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, CRANK IT, AND IT STARTS BACK ON. IT DID THE SAME THING LAST TIME UNTIL FINALLY IT FAILED TO START. I KNOW OF A 1996 CHEVROLET ASTRO WITH A 4.3 LITER AND IT ALSO SUFFERS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM AND USES THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER. ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT DO NOT INVOLVE TNT WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. *JB
