fulled tank friday. have drove 46.5 miles it quit!! will run for about 30 secs. then stall again. wait for a minute and crank for awhile it will start again . towed to dealer. but at 530. so no help till tomorrow. any ideas??

 

since it didnt come up with my name, its a 2004.5 2500 4x4 auto , 600 eng. 64425 miles. ive put 4003 of them on with out any problems.

 

Any chance the fuel filter is plugged?,maybe it has water in the filter,I'm sure that 04.5 has a filter drain.that would be my guess,then maybe a relay?

 

Fill out your signature so we know what truck you have.

Sounds like fuel starvation due to a clogged filter.

 

I would have said that it may have been plugged up, but you didn't mention that you have noticed any decrease in performance or mileage.

 

mileage is down alittle just put new fuel filter in 2000 miles ago, drained water from filter and nothing! did use a fram filter

 

No fuel pressure gauge, right?

Could be the lift pump went south...

 

Yeah,We've never seen that before

 

nope no gauge! how expencive is that or should i tow home and put in aftermarket?

 

If it's the lift pump, the dealer will replace your fuel filter housing-mounted lift pump with the newer in-tank lift pump. So far they are holding up just fine, but if you have to pay the dealer you might as well get a Walbro or FASS pump kit and make it even better.

Gauges are very important!

... and cheaper than many repairs.

 

here is a link to FP gauge,I got mine with the Edge Juice W/Attitude...

Someone might have a better idea where to get one,but this one seems like an OK deal and its not mechanical so there is no mess for the int.

 

the walbro and fass kits what kind of price? and are they hard to replace?

 

They should be advertisers on DTR - check the DTR store for prices and photos of what you're looking at installing.

 

thanks for the help!! i wanted to do some updates but not this way!

 

Let's see what the dealer says... do you trust this one?
