sorry i did not give much info about it. my truck died on the hyway and it rolled into the parking lot and into my parking space. So i jumped out and went inside and posted.. sorry... I towed it to my roomates shop (all ASC certied mechanic's) tryed starting about three times within a hour period.. NOTHING. then when they hooked the scan tool to it to read codes, it started right up. Guess they are gonna check the fuel system and get back to me. But i'm still worried, was this a fluke thing or the start of something bad? the injectors have about 7k on them. and baldwen fuel filter is a week old.

Remove the sixgun and see if it still does it.

so like i said the truck would just shut down it's running itself out of fuel, you would have to prime the crap out(50xs) it but it will start up. So i unpluged the banks and now it runs fine. but if i jump on it, by the time i get to 70mph in fourth gear. any response stops and it just starts slowing down. it seems to not getting enough fuel. so how do i check the injection pump? Does an aftermarket liftpump (like a F.A.S.S) replace the injection pump.?

Get a Tech II and check rail pressure this will diagnose if you have a CP3 problem comparing command to actual pressure numbers.

If you don't have access to a Tech II pay the fee at the dealer for the diagnose time.
