My truck is at the moment a found on road dead, : (
i just got back and my truck is left at a local fire road, its 3:00 oclock im not thinking straight so here it gos,
i was just about to drive back on the main road from the dirt trail and it did some bouncing and trying to get up this hill and then my engine shut off,
I tried to crank it back over, no start, i have full battery its cranking over fine, but when i turn the key i do not hear the fuel pump engage, i thought it was the inertia shut off switch but i tried to reset it, nothing, took the wires off, tried it,nothing. shorted the wires together, nothing, it only started for a moment at first then died, it seems like its getting robbed of fuel, I had my friend in his truck try to get me to the main road, it only resulted in 3 broken head lights and a cracked window(GREAT !). I waited an hour for a tow truck only to find out that they wont get me out, he took a look at my truck and said it was the fuel pump.So i need to know what part to buy in the morning so i can go back to my truck and get to work in the after noon, i would not like to leave it there for very long because it is traveled quite often and dont want a breakin
im sorry i know i sound like a total newbie but i need help
