Default So it begins

Last week my starter went out, fixed it and it runs perfect.

This morning on the way to work, my truck just bogs out like its out of gas..

Im assuming its the fuel pump but i need to check it out some more after work..

Nothing has broke until this last couple of weeks i guess its about time for crap to start breaking.............

ahh!!!!!

was going to say if it was raining or damp or something to check the distributor cap and rotor, if they get wet it makes the truck feel like bogging down, but you know what they say, try the cheap stuff first

you can tell if its your fuel pump by turning your key to the on position without starting it if the pump is working you should hear it. if it is your fuel pump those are a pain to get to. you either have to drop the fuel tank or cut a hole in the floor
