I went on a trip to Newfoundland Canada 1 week ago (2400 miles round trip) and the truck ran great until we crossed the border, 300 miles from home. We had just fueled up and when I started the truck, it fired and then died immediately. The SES light came on and I got Real nervous. Well, it fired again after about 5 seconds of cranking and the engine light stayed on. It ran normally with no problems but I didn't shut it off until we got home to Mass.. When I dropped my stepdad off and tried to restart the truck, it took about 10 seconds and definitely went into limp mode. I could only go 35 mph the rest of the way home. Over the next few days the truck would run great in the morning but if you let it heat soak it would be a bear to start and the SES light would come back on ( codes p0251 and p0370). I had a new Dipaco PMD that I got on Ebay for $168 only a week before we left. After using the search button for an hour, I decided to remote the new one now. I have a nice heat sink behind the bumper with a #9 that I had to go get from a Stanadyne dealer because I forgot to get a new one from the Dipaco PMD guy. I also removed the optical sensor filter harness (which I didn't think my year truck had)!! I heat soaked the truck today twice and it's running great! BTW GM, thanks for leaving me a whole 1/4 inch of slack so I could lengthen my harness. I would have bought an extension but I have a long tow coming up in two days and couldn't wait. I also ran a 30% WVO mixture for the trip.
