dead injector pump?

[haz-mat19]

I installed a f/p gauge about 4 days ago. 6 at start up, 2-4 at normal speed, 0-1 at wot. Called the dealer and after arguing with him he finally said the lift pump was covered. Had an appointment on mondayto have it replaced, but today the truck will not start. It cranks but will not fire. Could it be an injector pump? There is no air in the line I already purged it. Anyway it is all under warrenty. Only 80k on the clock. Sucks though no truck for now. The only bright side is that they will both be done at the same time if that is the problem.. See ya.

Do you have any codes?

Dont sound good but since DC admitted the l/p was gone then the VP44 should get replaced at the same time .........................Let them come and get it and fix it right since its still under warrenty

Thanks, I didn't check for codes but I will.

 

[haz-mat19]

No codes. Just a dead truck

Have you checked for fuel at the injection pump or injectors?

 

[haz-mat19]

I am not sure how to do that. I changed the filter to see if if was bad. There was fuel in the filter case. any advise on how to check? Thanks.

Loosen the fuel supply line from the filter canister at the injection pump.
Bump the starter (but don't start it) this will cycle the lift pump for about 20 seconds.
You should have fuel leaking out abound the loosened banjo bolt at the IP.
If you do but the truck still will not start check at an injector. I would use 1 or 3
simply loosen the fitting on the fuel line and repeat the starter bump.
CAUTION! there will probably be alot of fuel dripping out the bottom of your truck so be prepared for a mess.
Good luck

had it towed sunday night. The only diesel tech that they had was busy, but they admitted that I had no f/p. He also said that both the lift and injector pump where covered. So I should know something today. Only bad news is that they will have to order them for I think Mobile. I will keep you posted.

Hopefully they will get you straightened out haz- good luck

Got my truck back today, Dead lift pump replaced for free , they did tests on the injector pump and said everything was good with it. I hope that if it did get some damage it will show in the next 20k. So all is good 15 at idle 10 at wot. And I have my truck back.

Haz- My injector pump went less than 2000 miles after a failed lift pump. If yours it hurt hopefully it will do the same fore warranty ends.

 

[haz-mat19]

ME too. What did it do when it died? Was there any warning
