Archived Broke down in Idaho

[Elite1]

I am posting the following for Randy:



I'm stranded in Buckley, Idaho as my lift pump just went out without notice tonight at 2am going west on I-84. I left Denver, CO at 11am yesterday and was heading to Ephrata, Washington.



My truck is a 2003 with 70,000 miles and Edge EZ. I was tooling along most of the day at 68mph for the 800 some-odd miles. I managed 19. 2 mpg with a lot of head wind and the rpms at 1850. The EZ was on setting 4 and I had two short burst to around 100mph to get away from some semi's that were riding my tail.



I changed my fuel filter at 55,000 miles and I use no additives or B20 bio-diesel... I've only put regular Diesel in since I've had the truck which was at 27,000 miles.



I didn't even get a warning light ahead of time... it just lost power and died and I coasted to the side of the road with my 2 year old sleeping in the back seat. I hope they're not back ordered like I hear... does anyone know someone with a spare lift pump that would work on my 03? I'm thinking FedEx!



Are there any good Diesel shops around Southern Idaho that could put a FASS system on my truck if it looks like I won't see a lift pump for 2 weeks... I'm 800 miles from home! Call me at 303. 349. 1294 if you have any ideas... I forgot my TDR travel companion as well!

Took me a bit to figure you're probably in BURLEY Idaho, not BUCKLEY...

Update

It looks like the dealership just happens to have a single 2005 retro-fit kit in stock. Apprently there is a kit for the Short-box and Long-box to complicate things!



Parts guy confirmed it was the 34 gallon version and that if they didn't have it there are currently 75 units on backorder so I really can't believe my luck.



I'll update when I get my truck back for sure but it looks like I should be on the road again this evening...



Thank you everyone for the quick suggestions as you can see this could easily turn into quite the pickel of situation.

I live here in Burley. I don't know how much help I can be but I can try. There is Dominator Diesel Performance in Pocatello about an hour away that may have a Fass System in stock. Their number is 208-637-2100. If you need anything else let me know and I will try to be of help.
