Why would my truck sputter?
Why would my truck sputter?
About 4 times while mild accelration and turning my truck has died for a split second.It seems to almost quit rinning altogether but by the time it happens its over.I can't get it to do it on purpose but all three times I have been turning left and accelerating mildly(maybe coincidence).I have had the truck for 2 months and its only happened 4 times,all in the last three weeks.The truck has 66,000 miles.

LP would be highly suspect. These trucks have been known to run for a long time on DEAD lift pumps. Not a good idea, because next will be the VP-44
If that goes, you will know it, to the dismay of your wallet! a fuel pressure check is cheap insurance. Several places sell test gauges. One place I know has them is Source Automotive<br><br>If you don't find it on the web site, call the toll free number and ask for Rip.

You can get a temp manual gauge and hook it up to the srader valve on your VP44. Check out the Briar Hopper setup on www.Blackmountaindiesel.com. I check mine every oil change. At least until I get a full gauge setup.
