Truck died!
My truck died on my way to church. I was going around a curve coasting then I noticed my it had died. It has a black cps about 6 months old and when I'm trying to crank it my tac does come up. Only thing odd is my oilpressure gauge doesn't move. Thought that was strange so I checked the oil level in the truck and it was full. Then I checked the level in the reservoir and it was about half full. I'm driving home to get my ae. Any tools that I should bring back with me? And any thoughts?

As rediculous as this might sound I do have a fuel pressure gauge mounted on my cowel and I never thought to look at it! Dope! But it didn't seem fuel related. Not overjoyed I'm still gonna check it. Thanks for the reminder.

While trying to start check ICP and make sure your getting 500 psi or more if not maybe check your IPR. IIRC you have looked at that recently?

Now that I know I have! Or at least I think so. I just put some in it and I know it's diesel.

So it died suddenly and quietly. What happened when you tried to restart? All dash lights normal including WTS light? Can you hear the fuel pump come on with the key, or see the pressure spike in the gauge? Any smoke out the tailpipe while cranking? Fuses good? Let us know what AE says.

They do have a limited supply. They must of bought a lot of them because last time I checked they still had them. That is probably what he is talking about.
