Ugh I can't believe my horrible luck with this truck right now
I'm 200+ miles away from home and visiting my folks. I drove to a friends house, but as soon as i pulled into the parking spot, the truck stalled and will NOT start again. Return lines are replaced and leak free. Glow plugs function as well. No visible leaks of diesel from the tank lines or lift pump either.
I have PLENTY of fuel in the rear tank (which it was running on)
I did notice that while I was taking a look that my fuel crossover valve doesnt appear to be working \. I switch from F to R and the fuel gauge doesnt move at all, I also had a friend flip the switch while i put an ear next to the valve to check to see if I could hear it, and i didn't hear it switch over.
Both tank gauges worked previously, and I would also hear a 'click' when I switched the tank valve selector a week or two ago..
Could a failed one of these selector valves cause a stall and no-start situation?
I had the truck towed back to my folks house in hopes of me finding a fix tomorrow
I tried to search but couldnt really find any similar problems with this selector valve causing a no-start operation.
Any help is appreciated! I need to get back on the road sometime tomorrow!
