truck wont start
I ran the truck out of fuel and the injection pump started to hang up as its done in the past, so i shocked the fuel filter with 2 cycle oil and cranked it and the pump instantly freed up, it must have just been really dry. but the thing is it will only sputer after i bleed the air out of the system, then theres air in it again, i simply cant get the system to bleed. do i need to try harder or do you think the lift pump is bad? being that the pump has seized in the past that could easily indicate a bad lift pump, no?
so basically, the pump is free and working but i cant get all the air out of the system, thus it only sputters.... it ran fine before, all this came from running the truck clean out of fuel. |
whats the fuel pressure

the IP or LP is roasted...need a fuel pressure gauge to figure out which. running these out of diesel is one of hte worst things to do for fuel system components
|
i know its horrible for the fuel system, to make a long story short my brake line poped and i plowed down 2 trees and broke my tie rod and got stuck, everyone left and told me to come back for it but the truck would have been stripped if i did that so i spent the night with the truck and left it running. barely had enough gas to get it out of the woods and onto a flat bed.
how can i check the fuel pressure, do i need an adapter or a special tool? ive just got a regular fuel pressure tester that i use on my gas truck. |
:pca1: morbid curiosity :pca1:
|
gas or diesel?
|
the fuel pressure tester is for my gas truck, i use it on the chevy in my sig.

Well i went ahead and removed the lift pump, a new one is on the way. the pump looks like its been replaced before being that it has regular black silicone smeared all over it, but it is a carter pump, made in usa. when i tilted it back fuel came out of the plunger area, wouldn't that indicate a ripped diaphragm? theres a relief hole near the plunger just like on a water pump, im thinking this is a weep hole to indicate a shot pump, am i wrong?
this truck is turning out to be a bigger headache then my gas truck, cummins reliability... big woop, run it out of diesel 2 times and it needs a pump? come on, my brothers duramax has ran out of diesel several times and he has never ran into any problems, an d the truck is twice as fast and twice as reliable as mine. so whats up with the p7100 being so great? Not to rag on my own truck, i love the truck and the fact that it comes with better front running gear then chevy but im starting to think theres a little bit of hype to these trucks. |
is ur fuel shut off working? atleast halfass.... and it sounds to me like hole in a line somewhere... u say u hit trees and got stuck and all that good stuff could u have hurt a line and your suckin air? hit me up 620-277-8992 tyler
