Why’s my truck sputtering?

Asked by Dwhitson0312 Oct 10, 2020 at 01:23 PM about the Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an ‘03 Silverado with the 5.3. When it gets to
below a quarter tank, if I get on the throttle much at
all it won’t take it. It’ll sputter and jump. As long as I
have more than quarter of the tank full, it works as
it should. Any suggestions?

I just had similar with my truck and I have just put fuel pump/tank pressure sensor as well as the transmission speed sensor (not the vehicle speed sensor) so far it seems better but mine was like urs intermittance and I just changed both but after researching and reading everything that is what parts it led me to I'll check back with results soon were u getting codes?
