Not Good

I think my Power Max took a dump on me. I was coming home form work this morning and the truck started to cut out and then when I looked down the green fuel light started to blink and then went out completely. I turned of the PM and truck ran fine. I didn't feel like looking at it this early so I'll have to check it out later today but I'm hoping it's just the pump wire unplugged or something like a loose conection.

Anyone else had the same problem with their Power Max?

Darrell

Thanks Justin,<br><br>I'm going out to take a look at it before I go to work. Still hoping it's just the scotch lock or a loose terminal conection. ???<br><br>Darrell

Re:Not Good

Well I'm still confused [undecided] [undecided]<br><br>Went out and did a little checking and took all the conections loose and put them back together with some dye electric grease. (good so far)<br><br>Put Briar's test gauge on and fuel preasure was good. Never could drag it below 7.5 psi for extended WOT runs. (still in good shape)<br><br>I couldn't get the truck to duplicate what it did this morning. Going to see what it does on the way to work and if it still stutters I'll have to call Mark at TST. <br><br>Darrell

Re:Not Good

Well it's running just fine now. [undecided] It must have been a loose connection on the fuel pump wire. : I ran the **** out of it this morining racing 5 PowerJokes up the cut and it did just fine. ;D<br><br>Darrell
