give us some more info. just stopped no power nothing. do you have fuel pressure. do you have a gauge. etc. you cant cycle to get codes but if you know anyone with a reader this will help. IMO if you do need to replace your injection pump go with what it is suppose to have. does it crank and just not fire or no crankie at all.

To answer your initial question, you cannot put an HO pump on an SO truck. It may run, but it won't run properly. You can however put an SO pump on an HO truck, with some minor drawbacks. Your issue could be a number of things though.

That is correct, it will not run properly I am afraid.
