Hello again all so thought i'd toss this out there to get an idea of what the problem may be on our Work truck. So about 6 month's ago When my boss got his replacement truck. a 1998.5 Dodge 3500 Auto,4x4, 24 Val Truck. I went through it (When i could he bought it sight unseen for way more then worth with rust out the butt and not worth the price tag IMHO) But, I replaced every Fluid, Filter, Power steering pump, half the front end (Owners wife said it "like to wander" spent a few thousand replaced every part in the front end no help at all.) But after i Replaced the Fuel Filter, Refilled the canister as all way's with fresh diesel. .....The factory Fuel pump went dead... So after a lot of argeement's about what part went bad(He say's a fuel pump can't just "Go Bad All of a sudden" *Note truck had 200k on factory fuel pump but, he said a stock pump is just as good as a airdog or a Fass<What i strongly fought for but, we went with the $100 autozone pump...After we got it all in and took forever to prime.. i mean over 8 hours..yes 8 a whole work day to get it primed and running. But even now after it sit's for a few hour's you have to pump the pedal while cranking to get it to start up then it runs great and will start and stop unless as stated it sit's for a few hour's. I told him it's bleeding off preesure some where but i've checked every bolt, nut, screw, tap, hose, injector's at least a dozen time's even one's i never touched. Still lt leak's off any idea's cause i'm out of them nothin seem's stripped or broke/Wore out that i can tell but what do y'all think it may be. Thank's for any help
