Re:keeps stalling

Yes my 98.0 did at just under 200k. If it's like mine it would do it wether warm or cold. It would do it when I would tap the go pedal then release. I see you got a few miles on yours also.<br>A Cummins West guy told me why he thought it did and a possable fix.<br>He said that over time the injection pump throttle arm (on the back side of pump) wears out just enough to cause it to shut the fuel completely off for a split second on a hard return -then stall. He suggested to adjust the slack out of the linkage so it wouldn't &quot; over return &quot; &amp; to make sure the idle is set to the high side of the parameter.<br>I did &amp; been stall free ever since.<br>750-800 rpms in drive &amp; ac on for autos. Its a screw &amp; locknut on the rear of pump.<br>hope this helps <br>db
