Engine light comes up due to fuel pump low performance in hot days especially when i drive it more than 250-300 miles,

No, it is not expired. GM Warranties the truck for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever come first. See link below.

Hot days increase the resistance in the pump motor and decrease the motor’s performance - so low pressure. The pump is controlled by an electronic controller that commands the pump to run as hard as it needs to fuel the engine a low or high loads. Either could have contamination or a manufacturing defect that caused premature wear and loss of performance. Can’t tell you from the internet if it is the pump or the electronic controller.
