Still may be bad if it sat that long. If that valve is rusted or stuck in the open position it creates the same problem.

I may be way off base here on what is creating the noise but this sure would be the easiest and by far the cheapest thing to check first. If your truck runs for a while and then dies it almost has to be something fuel related. Most anything else would keep the truck from running right at any speed for any amount of time. Have you checked for codes and do you have a fuel pressure gauge to know what pressure it's holding through all of this.

Pretty unlikely but can't answer that without a pressure gauge.

good luck to ya. Just for informational purposes. You can have codes without getting a check engine light, happens all the time. If you get a gauge be sure to get the cheap mechanical gauge.

Id try and get a scanner and a fuel pressure gauge on your truck before you replace your $$$$ VP44.
