i want to say fuel filter. when mine cloged it was like putting a bag on the turbo. no powe and then it died. since then i have always carried a spare filter. sucks when you have no tools to.

Thats a good point - Im guilty of not always carrying enough tools. Its a really good idea to carry some basic hand tools and a spare fuel filter. (dont forget a 19 mm or 3/4" wrench for cracking injectors)

Were you able to get your truck home? Sounds like you are/were not too far from my place. I'm about 10 miles away from exit 169 on I-71.

We were stuck headed north RIGHT by a sign that said 117M Cleveland. Right off the 31/32 exit i believe.

I was looking into getting the 3 gauge kit but money has been so tight working 32 hours i can barley pay the bills i have.

I did that and it would run... I would say for more like 5 seconds if counted 1 - Mississippi... 2 - Mississippi... 3 -Mississ.... and so on.




Going to dig into it further today. I am going to start with the fuel filter as everyone suggested. I will go from there. I will probably see how much a fuel pressure gauge is while im at the "Zone" or "Advanced Auto". Just need one of the push on ones.

I am going to look through the MASSIVE book of paperwork that came with the truck i believe the LP is in there i swear i saw it. I think its 2 years old though (20 or 30K on it).... Whats the life expectancy on the Holley black? Holley doesn't even support diesel as an application!!

its a toss up how long they last, some will last a year some have been known to be bad right out of the box...its like a beating a dead horse but we just cant stress how much a good lift pump is (FASS or Airdog)
