Fellas,
A good friend of mine back east has an '04. 5 2500 w/48RE. The truck is bone stock except for muffler eliminator. Recently the truck began to just lay down if he jumps on it to merge onto a freeway, or accelerate up a hill with his gooseneck in tow. If he slowly opens the throttle it doesn't seem to do it. When it happens the truck just absolutely bogs down and won't pull worth a darn. No hard starting, no skips or misses, no smoke, and no codes. The in-tank pump was replaced within the last 10,000 miles. He has already replaced the fuel filter with no improvement. I was first thinking that the new lift pump is going bad, but then I was wondering about the relief valve on the rail. Since it happens when he tromps it is it possible that the rail valve is dumping on him when the pressure spike up? Do these go bad on a stock truck?
Thanks,
Tom
P. S. He's originally a Georgia Boy, so don't hold that against him:-laf
