Ok, here's the situation. I leave from work, truck fires up fine and runs for probably 10 miles. I'm driving down the road and the engine slowly looses power, over a 1/4 miles it just slowly dies. SES comes on and I coast into a gas station.
I knew I was in trouble so I immediately started trying to diagnos the problem. Pulled the juice off to eliminate that variable. Tried starting. Fired up and ran for 10 seconds or so then slowly died. Tried re-priming the flter. Got 2 pumps and some foamy fuel before the plunger went down and stayed down
Changed the filter, not fun when it's 0 degrees F and snowing.
Could not get the filter to reprime. Plunger would cycle but no fuel after 50-60 cycles. Normally only takes 10 or so after filter change.
Truck got towed to dealer, diesel tech seemed pretty knowledgeable but we will see.
I'm pissed because I take precautions against gelling. I use a generous dose of Howes diesel treat every tank. Just filled up the night before from a place that moves a huge amount of fuel for over the road guys. Tank never gets below half to avoid condensation.
Yes it was cold but not THAT cold.
I'm stumped.....I guess we will see what the shop has to say
