On my way to finish moving the shop I came across a Black dually with a trailer pulled over on the highway.
It was a 600 and only had 8000 kilometers on it. [5000 miles]
Dead lift pump.
Roadside assistance was there in less then 30 min and I got him hooked up with the dealer I know in town. He is on the road already.

Interesting thing that he was told by his dealer in Edmonton...

"Its probably the lift pump. Tap it with a hammer and it should work again."

 

Where ya' sitting on the pump replacement kits?

 

No but if I had a kit with me he would've had it on his truck.
The last of the parts for the kits are in this week.

I am out of town right now. Will be on this on Monday or Tuesday.

 

Thanks for keeping after the kits AND mostly for stopping to help a fellow diesel owner. Too many people just drive by now days...

 

Guess I need to add a rubber hammer to my traveling tools R&R kit.....

I got used to this issue on my 1999 and took steps to resolve it. Guess I simply need to bite the bullet and start saving for this "necessary" upgrade myself.
