ya i tried that. i went through everything. replaced all the lines, filters, injector pump, fuel pump. nothing works

@mistaken1, yes the prefilter is between the tank and the electric pump that i just installed on the framerail. and yes it will go all day long with the jerry can setup, im not using the prefilter when i do the jerry can setup though. just straight to the manual fuel pump. what are you...

an IP clog is unlikely. i replaced it already. didnt help at all. everything has been checked or replaced

hey heres the update if anyone is interested or can help. i installed an airtec electric pump and a seethrough prefilter for it. no improvement whatsoever. engine still dies after a few minuets of driving. what i did notice though was that the clear fuel filter that i installed had no fuel in it...

If not the lines then the lift pump? I gather you replaced it and used grease to hold the actuating rod in place while the pump is installed. It could be a new bad pump. If an electric pump that bypasses the mechanical pump and is fed from the tank works that would seem to indicate a mechanical...

@gungearz, im not having a problem finding the sending unit. im saying that the problem is not likely the sending unit. im saying this because i made an access hole in the floor and ran the fuel line straight into the tank with the sending unit off. @trukhead, its not likely the vent, i have...

are you guys mounting the fuel pump on the inside or outside of the frame rail. im wondering if the exhast will be a problem. doesnt seem like a whole lot of places that i can mount it that isnt right next to exhast. my instruction manual says not to put it anywhere that is 140 degrees or...

@warthog, its an m1009. i should have eliminated the possibility of the sending unit being the problem. i took it off completly and ran one fuel line all the way back to the tank and dropped it in just like i did when i ran the fuel line into the jerry can. just a reminder, i can drive it all...

@gungearz, i have already done everything that you mentioned. there are no original lines. the evap/vent tube appears to be clear. @everyone....... yesterday i ran the truck off of the fuel tank with the return going to a jerry can and i got no joy. this eliminated the possibility of the...

@wallew, the fuel filter was not bypassed in my test.its not the original crappy one either, i converted to a spin on. its not really even a test, its how i drive it. the fuel pump has been replaced. i ran it yesterday using the trucks original fuel tank but put my return into a jerry can...

i ran another line back into the jerry can for the return. thank you for bringing that up, it reminds me of another question. the return system was also bypassed when the jerry can method is used. could my return line going to the fuel tank have a problem causing the injector pump to back up?

oh and @warthog, its an M1009

@warthog, i have had the sending unit off. its good to go. could the vent tube itself be corroded possibly? i was thinking of taking it to my buddies shop and blowing some compressed air through it to see what kind of air flow im getting. @keith J, the fuel pickup sock has been replaced...

ok. its been a year trying to get this truck to work. its starts and runs fine for several minuets and shuts down. the fuel system is definitly the problem. the fuel system has been replaced from the injector pump all the way back to the sending unit. nothing is original between those two parts...

can anyone tell me where i can get a fuel cut off switch for my m1009? every symptom points to it and everything else in the fuel system has been replaced. i am 99 percent certain of what it is but have spent months trying to locate one along with a good parts breakdown that will show me what it...
