starving for fuel. HELP!!!
95 6.5 DUALLY. Started about a month ago. would be driving down the highway and would feel a miss/jerk occasionally @ a steady 55 mph. changed oil and filter, changed oil pressure switch and fuel filter. bled air and drained t valve. No help! Then things started going down hill. It would run great 30 min all the way to work then at lunch it would stall seemed to be starving for fuel. I would wait about 5 min and it would run like a champ.
went ahead and put another ops in and a new lift pump. seemed great for two days then started stalling at misl. times. going down hwy it would want to die and i could pump pedal and it would clear up. I jumped the ops (leaving it plugged in) and ran a wire to the fuse block so that the lift pump would run as soon as the key was turned on. worked great for two more days. i left work today went about 50 foot and it died. turn key on and opened bleeder on fuel filter and fuel ran right out opened the t valve and fuel runs right out also.
finially got it to fire up and had to pump the pedal to keep it running. if it dropped to 1000 rpm it would want to die it would not rev up over 2500 rpm. engine was fighting to run.
it only ran for about 1 minute and died. the waste gate was very hot to the touch and smoking lightly. when it was running for that 1 minute it was BLOWING black smoke.
This is a jasper engine with 30,000 miles
ready to go buy a old chevy truck with carb and points!! please help .

BTW the 6.2L has a lift pump which pulls suction on the fuel line. If you have a pressureized fuel line from the tank, that would probably eliminate the above scenario as a possibility.

Runaway can be PMD but not the usual failure mode of a PMD, that said I don't suspect at this point PMD is suspect either.
