Air Filter or PMD???

[Gunner0812]

Last week it really poured down. We got too much rain! Driving to the truck it hicupped alittle but kept running. I get two blocks down the road and it stalls. Sometimes it would run for 5 sec other times for 500 ft or so. I was able to get it home. My question is..is it the cone airfilter I've had it since 2006 bought it from SSDiesel and its been cleaned or is it the pmd? The nest day it fired up with no problems no stalling. Thanks for your help.

Did you get water in your intake?

I'd look at electronics, Guns.. check for a non-weatherproof connection somewhere in the whole injection circuit - PMD connections are a prime target, as is the connector for the OS...

If you aren't talking about 40-days-and-40-nights rain, though, it really shouldn't be an issue... were you driving in the puddles up to the top of the hood or something?

It was just pouring down, puddles everywhere it was just nasty! I hate when it rains!

you can keep the cold. it was a whole 4C today LOL

as for the starting and stalling, could it be the filters just gotten waterlogged? did you try bringing it inside to dry it out?

First, where is your PMD? Not in the signature?

Second, if it started again, why worry about it now.
At any rate, get a new PMD for spare if you don't have one just in case.
Trust me, it is cheaper to get another one when you don't need it in a hurry.

Here it snows and goes!

That is how we want it to stay like that too. All of our friends up north just need to tell Al Gore too hurry up with that global warming.

If Al is right we may be warmer but some of you might be looking for high ground. I think you're safe.

Thanks for all advice guys. Tomorrow I'll at the gun range early so I'm taking the car just to be safe.
