my truck keeps dying. I've check the fuses and relays. I can always start her up, but she dies sooner and sooner.
I just went to a 24hr autozone and bought a code reader. Guess what.... NO CODES... nothing. What else can I do? no other lights on the dash doing anything.

 

I'd start with the CPS. If it doesn't fix it......you now have a spare when it does go out.

 

prabably cam sensor easy to change out or plugged up fuel filter

 

where is the cam sensor? Is that the same as a CPS (cam position sensor)?

 

wouldn't it at least throw a code if it were a cps?

 

Mine did, a couple of them as a matter of fact, but that doesn't mean they always do, I don't suppose.........

 

yes it is the same as cps and no i doesnt always throw a code
goto articals/spec on the tool bar and look under diesels thiers a write up on how to change out cps

 

your tach workin before it dies?? or is tach workin when cranking after stall

 

Tach goes crazy right about when the failure hits...

 

cps, IMHO.

Okay.... anyone have a pic of where it is?

 

"If the engine will turn over, check the cam sensor located: If you looking at the front of the motor it is located to the left of the crank pully. Sometimes cam sensors will go out without logging a code. NAPA or most any auto parts store should one. You'll need a 10M socket to replace it. It should have a 3 wire plug on it. Just thought I would pass this on to you just in case you wanted to try to fix it yourself. "

Sound right?

That rocks. Given that the tack goes nuts, is that a sign that this is it? How hard is this to do in the dark, at night? better from on top, or below?

 

easier from underneath. not too bad at night at all since its all dark in there anyways.

it almost bet money on it being a cps
