I have a question for all you diesel guys. I filled up fuel after work last Friday and drain a little fuel out of my fuel canister to get any water out. Well after fueling I went to start my truck and it started just fine, but it only when out 15-20 feet (about into the highway) and stalled and no matter what I did the truck would not start. I tried priming the pump 2-3 times by bumping the started with no luck, I also noticed I could not heard my lift pump anymore like usual. Anyway after cranking for 10-15 seconds twice in a row and 3 seperate times I would just crank for eternity if I let it and would not even attempt to fire even one cylinder. While cranking nothing was out of ordinary (no smoke, no drag, no whatever). After my brother got to the fuel station to pick me up and drop off some tools to check a few things we pulled the fuel filter to make sure there was fuel in there and it was full, we tried to bled some air out of the system with the bled screw (thanks to another TDR members help), we checked the fuses with none being blown, cycled the ingition 3 times and no error code came up in the odometer window (it showed P DONE). I got mad and finally took it to the dealer to look at it and after running diagonstics with the DRB the only thing they came up with and said right on the order "THE MAP SENSOR VOLT IS TOO LOW, RAN TEST 1-9 OF THE DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL - BELIEVE THE PERFORMANCE CHIP TOOK OUT THE INJECTION PUMP". So they indicated that it will cost me now $3500 plus labor to fix, and they said it is not cover under warranty because of the fueling box (stupid me forgot to take it off first after a long day of getting it somewhere). I just wish I could hit myself in the head with a baseball bat and wake up and notice it was only a dream, but I don't think that is going to happen. So now I am thinking about buying the pump from Cummins directly after they check it to make sure it is the pump.
So my question is what do you guys think is wrong with my baby from what I indicated from my problem above and prior to this incident my truck had never once falled to start at the click of the key nor has my mileage ever dropped out of normal, nor ever loss any power, nor ever smoke badly (not that it is bad too do). I have only use the fueling box a total of maybe 3500 miles total and ask anybody that knows me I do not hot-rod my truck and nore do I abuse it in anyway and it just makes me so mad that this could happen when I take care of it soo well. I am starting to think that my old V-10 was far more reliable as it went 35,000 miles without a single glitch.
So do youn guys thinks its the injection pump, lift pump, fouled Map sensor (I did add a Amsoil air filter that may of had a little to much oil although I did blot it the best I could).
Sorry for the long post but I had to blow my vent a little and thanks ya all.
