So sorry for the story, but I have damn near pulled my hair out for on this fuel issue. Originally i was having an issue where truck would randomly start to stumble and lose power while driving through town or on the highway. A few times it would just die. No consistent factor when it would happen, except it was becoming more frequent. I usually could try to catch it and knock the truck in neutral and peg the throttle and it would chug back to life in a hail of white smoke. Checked the shutdown solenoid and that was not the issue, fuel filter has been replaced. So I replaced the OFV this weekend with a Tork-Tek one and installed a fuel pressure gauge on the outlet of the fuel filter. Great idle pressure and load. Put 250+ miles on Saturday & Sunday. City & highway miles and truck started up every time like a champ. Today it was -25 degrees out truck started right up ran and got coffee and hit the highway. Truck was running for 25 minutes and doing about 65 MPH and truck lost power and hail of white smoke. It did this 3 times on the way to work. I'd pull over and it would clear up and do it again a few minutes later. I put in some 911 treatment and ran truck for 1 hour before i left work, with now issues on the way home. Please tell me its gelling!!! Anyone had these kind of sporadic issues? Thanks!
