Oilbuner gurus! I need your help please.
Went to leave work tonight, started the truck up, after gp's warmed up and the engine started surging pretty hard core . Tried to give it gas, fell flat on it's face with a little gas pedal. Shut it off, waited a second and started again, no surge. It was 48° outside, not sure if that's related or not. It idles kinda rough too. I have a diesel leak from the #4 injector, thought it was the return line, replaced that, but it looks like the return sleeve is leaking, not sure if that's the rough idle or not.
2nd problem, I drove it home ok... then I turned the headlights off, and noticed the amp light faintly flickering. Turned headlights/parking lights on and the amp light turned off. Bad alternator maybe? Battery voltage seems good...
This truck is needing a lot of work, needs a ton of stuff but I should have expected that for a $1600 truck I guess.
Thanks guys!
Rick
