    6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again

    Ok, So here's what Russ told me just before he died R.I.P. ... My truck now has 60 k original miles on it, I was chasing my tail about crappy mpg's. It was probably @55k or so, we talked about it in detail and his answer was the pump needed a rebuild in spite of the low mileage but because of...

    6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again

    Ok so in 3 pages , we've not answered, how many miles are on the pump? Anything over 125k, and there's nothing much left, yes they will run for a few hunnert k but not like a new pump will....

    6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again

    I Doubt it died inside of any timeline you have seen. Heat sink, they'll run when cooled off. Air they'll run once purged. Gummed up, often, not so much. Hard to kill one on the highway cruising. My friends 6.9 had 500k on it and multiple pumps( read 4+) your missing something. There's a lot...

    6.9 died on the freeway and I can't get it started again

    Bottom of para. 1 in post #1, it started on the e pump, but the mechanical pump was puking... Was it just residual or was it looking like it was working properly? If it's now not, ( post#5) that's going to be a "Let's dive deep into the thing" deal. As for the rear bolt, at home with everything...

    Feed the mechanical pump from a fresh can of fuel. Check the 12v to the i.p. (especially the fuel valve.) If it's not hot it won't run. Then chase fuel path rearward from i.p. for blockage...

    Fuel level increase overnight

    That's a new one on me for these rigs... But yeah kinda has to be in the switching/returns... Try repeated tank changes, also back blow the tanks, open the caps and run low psi air from the front

    Hesitates after start (600RPMish) for 3 seconds - then runs normally

    Idi bronco has a point.... Been a minute since I looked, isn't there a return or feed check ball for the i.p. ( seems there’s acheck on the ip? Yes?)(return to tank in the filter head has 1.) If its leaking then the ip is starved... Fwiw I had the schrader core unscrew inside the plastick cap...
