Truck under powered and shaking

6 will be next. i'd be checking fuel pressure and ficm voltage. if one or both of them are lower than they should be, it will be killing your injectors.

Prolly. Ficm is easy fix. I'd rather have that. I could be losing hpop pressure too. Not enough feeding injectors.

Try hard to never let your fuel tank empty, it's not much different than having a bad fuel pump, starving your injectors of fuel is bad..

Ya I try not to but in this case I guess I did

Happend again. Not out of diesel. It happens at 1/4 tank or just below it. Fill it up its ok. These something else that's going on. Could the ficm be going out?

Fuel pickup foot is broken off the sending unit

Pwrcummins · Nov 22, 2013

In the fuel tank. You have to drop the tank to get it out

Pwrcummins · Nov 22, 2013

That is not a project that sounds fun lol.

Its really not bad at all. Drive your truck to the lowest point of fuel you can, in your case, 1/2 tank lol. Drain the rest if you can, if not, have a friend help you drop it. There should only be 2 straps that hold it on iirc. Its pretty self explanitory. MUCH easier than removing the bed

Not bad. I can do that. I've went to ford (bad mistake) to ask how much a new sending unit was. Since it's an assembly with the fuel pump it's around 500-800 bucks. Oriellys has them for 460+ (depending on tank location). I'm about to look at rockauto.com and see what I can't find there.
