The Latest?

Tom, you still fighting the gremlins, or have you declared victory...or defeat? Mine is good to go, and just completed 6k trip over the last 11 days as proof positive. For those that give a darn or were following this saga, it turned out the OEM LP was leaking down--loosing prime somehow--even though with constant cranking it would eventually put fuel to the IP. I say this because the only thing I did to cure it was install new DDRP & Vulcan big line kit, and all runs well.....day after day. Only thing was, first couple days had some hard starting...then noticed small amount of fuel dripping on the ground. Traced to overflow valve on vp 44, tightened quarter turn, and has been just like new ever since.

Brother, I hope your pain is over, because it is glorious once these sum benches run like they should again.

I second that one, check all the connections to the truck ecm, and maybe someone poked a wire with a test light a while ago and damaged it.

After reading this entire post it confirmed I did the right thing selling my 2007 MegaCag 5.9 and am now getting a 1996 5.9 with 213k on it and bone stock. I am sorry to hear this painful post and hope you win the lottery after such a bad circumstance...PV APOLLO
