Had to be towed home today!
I was pulling a small utility trailer with a lawn mower on it when suddenly no power.
The truck was still running but there was nothing when I stepped on the pedal. I pulled off to the side of the road and shut the truck off. I tried to restart in and it would not start. It would crank but would not fire. I had it towed home and now I need advice on what to do next. What do I check? How do I check? Thanks for your help. Jim |
was it smoking\knocking or trying to start?
|
No smoking or knocking. It did not try to start. Just cranking with no firing.

|
sounds like it ran out of fuel one way or another.
|
do you know anyone with a smarty or code reader?? Im thinking your vp 44 died
|
Can you hear your lift pump kick on? Does your wait to start light come on? Same thing happened to me 9 months ago and it was the ECM that went out.
|
I can hear a "Buzzing" type of sound near the fuel filter after I tried cranking it. not sure if this is the lift pump. I am not to familiar with working on these diesels although I am quite mechanically inclined.
I'm not sure about the wait to start light. When I left the house, the truck started right up. The truck had not been started in over a month but it started without any problems. 10 minutes later... it died Where is the ECM on these trucks and can they be tested? |
The buzz you hear is the lift pump, I would crack the banjo bolt on the vp with the key on and see if fuel comes out, if it does I would say Vp44
