    no clatter but sounds like its dropping cylinders one at a time and sounds like a stick shift truck if you were to leave the clutch in and hit the brakes to a stop. but could the algae be causing the pump failures? if i werent selling the truck after i get it running id buy a nice electric fuel...

    7.3 dies! help!

    fuel pump solved the issue truck now runs. so before you -cuss holes ridicule me for "throwing parts at it" reason i did not do the pump to start with was the inconsistency. i would run great then die and had a light prior to the first failure. that alone turned me to the cps and the ipr. anyway...

    7.3 dies! help!

    whelp i feel like an idiot. go into looking at so many different things and turns out to be probably the most simple thing ever.

    7.3 dies! help!

    Ya don't say lol can't diagnose anything if it don't run. I'm a jet engine mechanic also so I know a thing or two of troubleshooting which is why I'm doing as best I can to learn this system and figure out what is going on. I don't need a smart a$$ stating the obvious.:mad:

    7.3 dies! help!

    How long would you crank for with a no start before giving the starter a rest? I was doing about 30 seconds with a few minutes in between twice and then stopped for the night. I don't need to burn out a $150 starter either
