i think im not getting enough fuel. it runs good for a few seconds and then will just die. thats with a ford power stroke dually hooked bumper to bumper. any help i got a pull tomorrow my first. i got another pump i can run.

 

You are probably doing just that, running out of fuel. Fuel pressure will lie!! Fuel pressure gages measure any pressure including air pressure. If I was going to check this I would tap into the fuel line with clear hose and run a loop of it out by the wipers and back to the vp44. Then hook it to another Ford or a tree or something and give it a pull. I bet you will see air in the line when it dies. If I an right let me know and we can discus diagnosing it.

 

check for cracks in your exhaust manifold especially if it is stock

 

How is a cracked exhaust manifold going to make the truck feel like it is running out of fuel?

 

my crack(lol) is about 2 inches in a bad spot right at the inlet(middle) apparently any pinhole may make a difference on you losing boost b4 the turbo. have the parts in hand just need to find the time!!! hopefully it holds on till then!! lots of force /pressure lost due to that flaw. if you find one fix it! did you get a 'slip' of about 300rpm? if so that was your electonic tranny sensor heating up and releasing your torque lock due to low boost /high heat on gauge. i do not claim to be expert but thats what i heard and where i am starting when i find time!!!!@! hopefully it is not anything more expensive!!

 

Even without the turbo the truck should not die. Have no power yes, but die no.
As I understand it the truck runs good then dies( as in motor not running).

 

sorry man my bad, did not realize you def of die as in restart. i,ll read more b4 posting!
