Gainesville......still about 300 miles from me or I would definitely run and pick him up. You get down south of Dallas let me know.

 

I think it's gonna end up being electrical or computer. This time it died when I hit a little bump in the road. Man are these things hard to steer with no power. The wifes on her way to get me. My secretary has family in Gainsville so she's calling them to see if they no a good local mechanic.

 

I just Googled diesel shops for Gainesville TX and this popped up:

CORCORAN DIESEL & AUTO SVC GAINESVILLE TX 76240 Phone (940) 668-8283

 

Is the connection for the new CPS you put in good and tight?

 

Get some gloves, or when it cools, do some wiggle testing on the injector harnesses, all the IDM wiring, the GEM, well, about everything you can get to. Also, make sure all of your fuses are good. The #30 seems to come to mind. You may have an intermittant fuse connection with a good fuse. I didn't like the sound of that SES light fuel gauge thing either. Are you getting WTS lights and all the normal ones when keying on?

 

Unfortunately, no. But I think I could lay hands on a hauler in fairly short notice. Let me know -- Gainesville is only about 45 minutes north of me.

Got the names of 2 mechanics and the local ford house. I'm starting to wonder if I won't have to take it to the ford house. Too many mechanics today can only fix what the computer tells them to.

 

All light come on as they should. I've been wiggling everything I can reach. The only thing out of place was the power steering cap which I blew off trying to get into the parking lot.

Hey Izzy: Do you know any good repair shops by your house? The city of Gainsville is currently closed for lunch. I'd feel better knowing it was fixed right, but I don't want to put you out if your busy.

 

Let me make some phone calls, and get back with you here. I've never had anything done to my truck except by the dealer or myself. BTW, the wife is still out with my truck anyway.... Once again, she took mine when she has a perfectly capable truck less than two years old in the garage after griping about me getting a diesel...

 

I've got gremlins. Gave up on the truck. Had a bite to eat. Came out and tried to start it for the h*** of it and it fired right up. Anyone know a way home with no bumps?

 

Where in Texas are you headed to?

 

Right between Grandview & Maypearl. South of DFW North of Hillsboro

 

Man I hope you can get it home. Like mentioned, if it is not throwing a code, the mechanics will be reduced to looking around, just like you can do. Might as well do that yourself.

 

Right into Izzy's neighborhood. I am just north of Houston, waaaay south of you.

 

I agree with Mike. No codes so you might as well wiggle and jiggle as much as you can before paying a mechanic $90/hr to do the same thing.
