VP died on the way home, need installer in Fort Worth

The truck was paid off last month, and how does it repay me?

I get on the highway, pull into the hammer lane and then the truck loses all power and starts idling rough. I manage to get it pulled over to the shoulder and it will not start. CEL comes on immediately. I cant confirm codes because you cant keydance a 99 but thats what it has to be.

So, who knows a good shop in the Fort Worth, Texas area who wont bend me over on the price? I dont need a super duper race pump. Honestly I just need something that will last me a few more years. Between this and the transmission having been replaced only a year ago im at my wits end with this thing. I need it to survive long enough to get the wifes car paid off (5 years) and into something new that does not need $300/mo to keep the thing running 10 days out of the month (I ride most of the time)

It's Ray's Transmission & Diesel Performance.
Ask for Curt. The jacked up Ford with the stacks is his.
He told me he was going to put a Cummins in it.
They're on West Pafford St and also on I-35 South going towards Burleson

Well if I can get a good deal on a pump and get it installed for not that much more at a shop ill just let them do it. Ive looked at the instructions and it does not seem that hard...ive undertaken much worse.

Just not sure what pump to go with
