    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    RESOLVED! IT WAS THE SOCK! I drove It 7mi each way to the fuel station and filled it, after cleaning the tank. I've been driving this truck since 2017. Never a hiccup until now. I suspect there was life in the tank. The fuel had not been sitting , but was nearly opaque green. (My...

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Fuel System Troubleshooting and final resolution (IT WAS THE SOCK)

    Remember when @TNDRIVER said it wasn't the lift pump? Yeah, he was right. It acted normal for 2 miles, then exactly the same symptoms. Back on the Strap for the Tow of Shame it went. Made it back to the driveway.
