List and describe any other factors which are not addressed in this checklist.
We can’t see, hear, smell, or touch your truck, so the more descriptive information you can give, the more likely it is that somebody can assist you
The day it quit in the morning -22, it was plugged in. Started very easy,went to work. After work (8.5 hrs) truck was hard to start. Had to fire it up 3x. Lots of black smoke and some white. Started out ran fine for 15 min then just died, almost like you turned off the key. Would not restart.
Towed home. 3 weeks ago, been in my garage since.
Fuel at filter, T vavle, top of IP
Since then I have replaced, PMD with remote harness on bumper, LP, OPS, IP(used but tesed in reputable diesel shop ) Everything I have changed so far has not made a difference. Still no fuel at injectors which was where I started
