what engine, and what does it do when you try to start it??

 

Now I move on to a odd one. First my rear tank full of fuel would let the truck die. Like it was out of fuel. Now the front tank is doing the same thing. I can start the truck up and drive a mile or to , then it starts chugging. I can switch tanks back and forth for a few miles but it will eventually die. after an hr. I can do it all over again. Now note the rear tank went bad 6 months be for the front tank started acting bad. Could the tank switch cause this problem ? or would it be in the tanks . I don't see how it could be any thing after the tank switch. because the front tank did not give me any trouble for at least 6-8 months after the rear tank went bad. And i am down to less than a $100. I've spent a grip under the hood this week did the fuel kit on top new g plugs, starter, starter relay, G.P. controller, G.P. relay. bla. bla. bla. I am broke. If you or some one you think could help please let me know. Thank you very much for you time, Joe

 

The wire that powers the glow plug controller had a brake in it . Put a new wire in and DONE. And my fuel problem solved. It turned out to be a combination of problems , two main problem. First was tank filter screen . The second was lift pump. It probably went bad because of the screens in the tanks. The pump I bought at O'Riellys has gone bad , replaced it and have a strange new problem That I just Posted. I want to thank everyone for your help. It was very help full and very much appreciated ! Thank you for the time you took to help some one you do not even know. This is a very cool site. Thank you, Joe O'Leary
