Merging onto highway, truck running just fine. Get to 55-60ish and sudden loss of power, not decreased, nothing. Rpms looked ok, think i hit it to see if it revved, but now I cant remember if it did. I remember thinking that i just lost my trans. But in tbe dame moment my engine was dead. I was only trying to stay safe and no longer diagnose. As i coastef up different offramp, i had it in N and tried to start.cranked but no start.

Stopped it, i turn key on,i hear a motor upfront. Try to start. Engine cranks, but doesnt start. W key on, i am reading no oil presure on OEM gauge. Well, needle just comes up a little but is still touching red zero line.

Oil seems ok, trans fluid seems ok, adiator is cool and full of coolant and temp gauge says 140. When I turn key off then on, i dont hear any motors in the rear like a fuel pump.

 

Ideas? Did my Fuel pump give up? Vp44?

I have basically zero tools. I would have to go home. I do have my OBDLink MX and phone. But I dont seem able to get the codes off it usong turbo. I will even take help w that. I think i have the obd software on here, but jave to go look. LG G2 phoneand have turbo free on it.

 

Currently sitting safe at a gas station 3 blocks or so fromw where i stopped. Had my chains and a couple guys pulled me here.

Vulcan and DAP both have pumps with a new PSG and are both top notch vendors. Just read the ads.

I worked 11 hours today. I emailed Eric last night and thought it was strange that all I got in response was "call us about this" until I actually did. He wanted to interview me about my real needs. I was prepared to be hit up for a full FASS system, full gauges, VP44, lines, sump kit/draw straw or something, all sorts of things. I was not going to be surprised to be up to $2500 in parts.

 

Nope. Eric talked to me about current set up, whether I saw myself increasing hp substantially, frequency of usage, towing, type of towing, amount of towing, etc. THEN he recommended a more sane and reasonable setup that would get my truck up and running, useful and working right as a work truck (like it is and I want) from now on. Under $1600 for everything that I need to have a dependable, solid working truck. He emailed the list of all the parts/kits that we talked about so we would both know what I needed when I ordered. That is service! Now I just have to play with the budget, get the cash and place the final order.

 

Solid guy. I haven't done business with DAP, so I can't speak to that, but if they are anything like Eric, then they are a great shop.

 

More to come.

Sorry about bending this thread into to a which vendor issue, Vulcan performance or DAP.  Being that I've never done Business with Dap I could not say anything about them.  I'm sure they are indeed a very good vendor since  coming from you guys saying so... I believe it .
