Might be pushing the uses of the list but a little in need because of
chistmas. Well I'm having my first problem with the "new" truck. 98 2500
suburban diesel 6.5 turbo. For some reason while out today I had a problem.
Here it is.
After watching the LOTR movie started the truck up and let it warm up for a
little not bad here in NJ, 51 degrees. Took off and only got a few truck
lenths before it stalled. Restarted and it ran for a few seconds and stall
again. Happen a few times and then stayed going. Was able to go a little
more before stalling again.
Ok figure I had fuel problem. Full tank with only 80 miles on it. Fuel came
form a good station that has high turn over. Let it sit and tried again.
wouldn't start at all. Engine would turn but not start.
Since the fuel pump was just changed only about 200 miles ago and the tank
was suppose to be purged I figure maybe they didn't do such a well job and
the fuel filter was clodged. Before this I tried the fuel line water drain
and fuel pumped or fine. So off I go to get a fuel filter. Get one and
replace. Truck starts up and off I go. Not even a half a mile done the
parking lot it dies. Get it to run enough to get into a parking spot.
Well maybe I didn't bleed all the air out of the fuel filter. So I bleed it
a little more. After a few ties at this when I'm all set to give up it
starts. Idealing fine. Drive it around the parking lot and its fine. Park
it and let it ideal for another minute and it dies again and wouldn't
restart. Give up and head home to ask for help.
HELP!
Anyone.
