Thanks man, I appreciate it.Originally Posted by Outlaw Customs
I think you'll like that a lot more. Definitely makes it a lot more driveable.

Well, I think I'm in for it with this one already. The check engine light came on after I stopped at a store and restarted the truck yesterday on the way home from work.
Fast forward 2 hours and I went to go for a drive and got a 1/2 mile from the house and the truck died at a stop sign. Wouldn't start again for any extended period of time. Got it running twice for about 5 seconds or so and it ran like complete crap before it died again. Had it towed to a shop since I don't have a garage to work on it and it's like -10 F right now.
I was thinking immediately it's the fuel pump, prime time for one to fail (140k miles).
To add to the story, I went to grab some work stuff out of the truck this morning and had a spare key. Curiosity struck and I tried to start the truck, it started second try and ran for 5 minutes without a hiccup. Got to work and called the mechanic and he said he also ran it for about 10 minutes and it ran okay. Check engine light still on.
The previous owner said he hadn't driven the truck much in the recent past, I wonder if it could be some bad fuel or something. It just seems to me it's the pump.
What do you guys think?

Pump sounds justified to me. You need a Walbro 400 in here anyways.

Confirmed it's the pump. Think I'll do a Walbro.
Nothing makes you more discouraged at a truck purchase when the fuel pump dies on the day you buy the truck.

That sucks! Either way, fuel pump is fixed and it's back up and running. I've been doing little stuff to it here and there, but I'm super busy with work right now. Probably going to start ordering some stuff here soon though.

Welcome back, always liked your white truck, I'm guessing I will like this one when you get to modding it.
