So my truck died out on me Sunday night. Stalled out twice, once leaving the grocery store, and once in the front of my neighborhood.
I had a new fuel filter for the truck, so because its so easy to do I removed the old filter to check it, it was actually still full of fuel. Prefilled the new filter spun it on, then got the truck started again. Ran for about 10 minutes at idle then fizzled out. Tank is full to the brim. I have been having issues similar to what I have going on now at 1/4 tank and below so I am hoping and leaning towards the front tank pickup (my truck has never switched since I have owned it) being full broken off or having damage. I am to unhook the supply and return and try and see if the truck will pickup out of a 5gallon bucket sometime in the next 2 weeks. Do you guys think this is a good way to see witch fuel system I am having issues with?
The day it died I ran her about 150 miles. 2 days before that I replaced the lift pump with an airtex unit because the unit I had was leaking fuel externally. I have no external fuel leak signs currently
Can you have air intrusion with these trucks and still have the filter full cause a stall issue? I hope this truck doesnt need a high pump, I dont feel like spending that money on her.
Whats everyone think? If I do diag it to having an issue with the front tank I may elminate the multiple tanks and go to my single 38 gallon, since I have one laying around waiting to go in.
Any other diag I need to do to determine the problem or do you guys think starting with a fresh fuel supply is a good idea before anything else?
Thanks.
