it had zero fuel pressure, smoking white and cutting out, then died...so i replaced pusher pump...fixed it for a day, then did the same thing....so i took out my intank pump, put an airtex back on the motor, that with my pusher gave it 30psi, has been fine for a week, and then today said no fuel pressure again, smoking, and dying...no codes...im guessing vp44?? but its weird it did this before and i replaced those pumps and everything was good, now its doin it again..

There is a shop in stover missouri that did all of my work to my truck. The two guys that own it is Shaun Bartel and Matt Gilmore. They built my motor from the ground up when it fried a piston. If you would like their number send me a pm and I'll give it to you.

Draw tube

Just thought of this maybe your draw tube from the tank is blocked.

From what little I know or heard from Triston or T-21 Bailys or Fergason didn't do to good a job for him. I did meet a guy Sat that had Bailys do all of his work for him, they weren't fixing his truck just adding performance stuff.
Bailys is in Nixa and Fergason is on the west side of Spgfld.

Mike a northeast diesel does good work just a slow, sounds like a vp to me though does the truck have throw any codes????? If you have the intake pump it will not let anything draw though it (another pump) so if it was bad the other pump won't draw fuel though it.

thanks for the suggestions guys.. i got it going again..we will see for how long....we took off my bd aux pusher pump, and hooked the line back together without it, fired the truck up, pressure went up to 17... it has been running ok with just the airtex, 17 idle, but drops to 6 under a heavy load.. im assuming it musta been a bad connection with the bd pump, and when it wouldnt come on it wouldnt let the other work either...guess ill have to wait and see...i think im probably just gonna save some money and go with a fass so i hopefully wont have to worry about problems like this again...

Ferguson's Diesel is here in Springfield. It's on the NW side of town like you're going to the airport.
