  in Engine Mechanical - 6.6L.
 
- Remove the A/C compressor bolts.
 
- Move the A/C compressor with the hoses attached to the right side of the
 engine compartment.
 
- Remove the water outlet tube. Refer to 
Water Outlet Tube Replacement 
 in Engine Cooling.
 
- Disconnect both main harness electrical connectors.
 
- Remove both main harness electrical connector
   to bracket bolts (1).
 
- Remove the main harnesses from the bracket.
 
- Disconnect the engine coolant temperature (ECT)  sensor electrical connector
  (1).
 
- Disconnect
  the barometric pressure (BARO) sensor  electrical connector (1)
 
- Disconnect the glow plug relay electrical
  connectors  (1, 2, 3).
 
- Disconnect the fuel rail temperature sensor
  electrical  connector (1).
 
- Disconnect the left front fuel injector
  electrical  connector (1).
 
- Disconnect the left rear fuel injector electrical
   connector (1).
 
- Disconnect the fuel pressure regulator electrical
   connector (1).
 
- Disconnect the oil level sensor harness
  electrical  connector (1).
 
- Remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)  hose from both valve covers.
 
- Reposition the injection pump inlet clamp.
 
- Remove the injection pump inlet hose from the fuel feed distribution (leak-off)
 block. Reposition the hose.
 
- Clean the fuel pressure regulator and high
 pressure injection pump thoroughly with solvent, such as GM P/N 12377981
 (Canadian P/N 10953463) or equivalent.
 
- Using compressed air, thoroughly blow dry the regulator and pump.
 
- Remove the 3 fuel pressure regulator screws (1) using a T25 TORX®.
 
- Remove the fuel pressure regulator (1).
 
- If dirt or debris is found in the bore or seating surfaces of the fuel
 injection pump, perform the following:
 
| •  | Place a clean rag over the bore on order to collect the excess fuel. | 
 
| •  | Bump the engine over in order to flush any debris out of the regulator
 bore. | 
 
Installation Procedure
Important: If the pressure regulator is being re-used, check the O-rings for damage. If
   the O-rings are damaged, install NEW O-rings.
- Lubricate and install NEW O-rings onto the
  regulator.  Lubricate the O-rings with clean, NEW engine oil.
 
Important: If the regulator is installed at an angle the O-rings may be damaged, resulting
   in possible fuel leakage.
- Install the fuel pressure regulator (1).
 
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Install the 3 fuel pressure regulator screws (1) using a T25 TORX®.
 
Tighten
|     •  | Tighten the screws a first pass to 4 N·m (35 lb in). | 
 
|     •  | Tighten the screws a final pass to 7 N·m (62 lb in). |
