| Diesel Fuel System problems |
I was driving my ~ chevy dually diesel truck ~ on a freeway pulling a trailer with my antique car in it when the truck kind of hesitated / sputtered and died ! I lost power brakes - but was able to get pulled over to side and after a period of time the truck restarted . . . Numerous times after this I had the truck die and hesitate - I took to a Chevrolet dealer once - they questioned the passlock security system and bad ignition switch - wanted a ridiculous price to fix . . . . The truck only had 73,000 miles when I bought it , and I have not driven it much only 81,000 miles presently - and I have not driven it in over a year because of failures to start. I had bought a kit and "pmd / fsd" modules and finally got around to swapping in another one - and wow now the truck is running ----------------- " it was a bad stanadyne pmd " ! I have read on the internet now the troubles these have had due to heat and where part has been mounted in the engine area. I was an electronic instructor in the technical college systems and as I now look at / evaluate this part made by stanadyne ==== to me its design / construction looks as if its built to hold the heat it develops inside of the plastic insulated case - thereby not releasing heat to the outside causing its ultimate failure due to internal heat buildup .
