Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Periodic Stalling ? Help...

[osmith]

A friend of mine owns a 12v '96 cummins 5 speed



Every once in a while his truck stalls out, don't matter if he's driving through town or on the the highway. Once this happens he's got to crack a fuel line and turn it over to bleed the air, then it fires up again. He says it's starting to happen more frequently now.



Could this be the rotten return fuel line syndrome? Or another problem?



If it's the fuel line, where is it in relation to the pump and what's involved in fixing it.



Thanks for any help

Sounds like a return line, do a search on it there is a ton of stuff on it

He's obviously sucking air somewhere. Common places are rubber fuel lines, banjo bolt washers or fuel filter gasket.

Thanks for the recommendations.





Shendren,



No offence intended but lighten up a little. I'm helping out a friend who is completely computer illiterate and computerless. Joining TDR wouldn't do him alot of good other than the magazine.
