ever have this happen??
last friday morning i went and started the truck up. truck started up fine and run for about a minute then it died and wouldn't restart. I didn't get a chance to look into it till sunday and found i got fuel up to the injector pump but nothin to the injecjors. so on a hunch i pulled the top off the injector pump and jumped the shutoff and the solenoid didn't move. so with the cover off i hit the key and it started up. yes fuel poured out the top but i only run it a couple of seconds. but is this common?? i've never heard of this on a pickup before. can i buy just the shutoff solenoid or do i gotta change the whole pump? the pump is kinda expensive so i don't wanna spring for it right now.

I assume that you had the top cover grounded, otherwise the soliniod will not work. Diesel Care and Performace sells new solinoids on e-bay, about 49 dollars last I checked. Also be sure you have power without it being jumped, may be an ignition switch /power issue!

yeah i had the cover grounded when i tested it. i took one off an old truck at work and it tested good. so after installing the used one she's back on the road. I'll probably pick up a new one to toss in the glove box just in case.
