Truck died on freeway. Good thing I had good electric brakes on the trailer and activated them manually as stopping 28,000 lb set with no power brakes didn't leave good impression.
First thing I always check in situation like that is fuel contamination. Opening the drain valve on the fuel bowl show no fuel. I poked around the truck, turning ignition on and off few times and got the fuel coming to the bowl just fine. The engine with dry injectors would not restart easy and I finally used starting fluid to have it running again.
Drove home over 200 miles with no further issues.
Now I am not happy with something like that and want to recheck what that could be. Fuel filter is pretty new and clean, had my tank strainers cleaned over a year ago, but I think I will recheck them.
The only thing I can figure would be
1 Fuel pump having bad wire connection, or just chocking
2. CPS failing for short moment.
I do carry spare CPS, but shall I carry spare pump as well?
Any more ideas?

 

What about the fuel pick up in the tank? were you low on fuel (1/4 tank)?

 

I drove it home after the incident getting down to reserve just fine.
New fuel pumps are not cheap. Well over $200 so buying one just for spare gets more difficult.

 

There is also a screen in the fuel pump, but I don't believe itis serviceable. When I did my in-tank mods I eliminated all the screens back to the tank and put a (CAT 5-micron) screw-on canister filter pre-pump.

 

It can't be screen or filter when on the instant the engine run for 200 more miles without any problems?

 

I missed that...does seem very unlikely.
