Yup. I’ve been wanting to install that harness for a while.

So it turns out the speed sensor harness wasn’t fully seated and was thoroughly coated in sludge. Got it sorted out and so far so good. Fingers crossed. I don’t know but I’m guessing the loss of signal and resulting delta between input and output was causing the slipping feeling as it hunted...

Thanks for all the replies everyone.I’ll try to fill in the gaps in my info. Putting in driveway today. Much appreciated.

Just in case anyone is curious, I blew the line from fuel pump back into tank, and problem has not reappeared in a couple weeks now. As luck would have it though last night the trans started to feel like it was slipping in all gears. Rpms would rise and speedo was bouncing around as well...

I’ll check the cap. Wasn’t aware the pump return is clear, will check that too. Thanks.

Thanks it just happened again yesterday. I opened the fuel filter bleeder heard it suck air in. I’m thinking I need to drop my tank and take a look but it’s almost full as luck would have it.

Thank you. I just read a post from someone who described my situation precisely, and remedied it by removing that filter. I never knew it was there. I’ll give it a shot, it seems to be running better now but I haven’t been out much.

I would have thought that would be preferable to the pump picking up straight water but you’re right about defeating the water separator.

No I don’t think it was Delco.

Not yet. I’ll try and check those out.

I don’t know that I got bad fuel, could be coincidence.

I replaced filter a few days ago. Wondering if debris could be blocking pick up in tank intermittently. Just filled it up and it seems to be running fine.

Didn’t know that. Always thought it was after.

I just walked outside and it started right up cold. I have gauge on the drain tube and it holding 6-7 while idling as I type this.

Hoping someone can offer some guidance here. 94 6.5 3500. A month ago I thought I had filled my truck with bad fuel because it started jerking and bucking under load, I immediately put some sea foam in on the side of the road but it persisted occasionally for next week or so. I replaced ops...
