Well fellas, I can now officially call myself a dumb@$$!!! I made a very stupid mistake! As y'all now, I'm installing an engine in a guys 6.7 Dodge 2500 because of his neglect and stupidity! Now I'm having to tow my own truck in. He apparently doesn't realize that these trucks run off diesel fuel.... he ran my 98.5 3500 24 v out of diesel....and drive it 60 miles with it spitting and sputtering!!!! He calls and said hey something's wrong with your truck... I turned in my driveway and it bucked hard and died!!! :mad::mad::mad::banghead::banghead::banghead: I asked why didn't you call me 60 miles ago...his response was I knew you were busy working on trying to finish up my truck and yours was still running!!! He asked on your way home can you stop by and see if you can get yours running again....I really need to use it again tomorrow!!! Well I stopped by on my way home, got my new diagnostic tool out that I just bought from Matco tools and scanned it....I have the death codes for the VP-44!!!:mad::mad::mad:: so guess what!!! He is paying for my new pump and labor and tow bill for me to fix my own truck, and I'm going to put my truck in the shop and fix it first. After I get it going! I'm then going to finish his truck. I know y'all are wondering why I was letting him use mine in the first place...I'm a nice guy and hated seeing him loose money and not being able to do his job....well guess what!!! It bit me in the @$$ and now I'm the president of the dumb@$$ society :banghead::banghead::banghead: sorry to rant and rave guys but I'm a lil perturbed at myself!!!

I did an oil change on this same truck Thursday of last week. Today he has already put a little over 2000 miles on it!I'm trying to figure out the rental rate I want to charge him!

:wow: He's a truckin. Shoot id charge 25-50Cent a mile seems fair will cover ur maintenance cost and then some

I'd definately get him to find a new vp44 since he already agreed and that's strike two.

I serious worried to let him run again on your truck or any truck... If he can't see the fuel gauge he most likely doesn't see any gauges or anything on the dash.
