I need the help of the INGO experts on everything.
I have an '02 GMC 2500 duramax diesel.
I have only had it for 6 months, and it is my first diesel, so I have a very limited knowledge of the secrets of diesel workings.
I was backing out of a parking spot and it just stopped running.
It... just... stopped.
No clunk, no noise, no fanfare, it just quit.
When I tried to start it, it just turned over with no sign of firing.
I pushed it back into the parking space (luckily downhill slightly).
I tried the fuel filter primer and it was soft.
It pumped back up in 30 or 40 pumps, but still wouldn't start.
That's the limit of my diesel knowledge.
Where should I look now?
I had a heck of a time finding the distributor, so if anyone knows where that is...
Do you hear the fuel pump kick on? I would think if it just stopped suddenly, it'd have to be fuel related. Either the pump or the injectors.
...oil change on a Dodge Cummins and drained it into a 6 quart pan).
THAT is funny.....
Pretty sure the fuel pump is driven off of cam gear on all duramax's... Not 100% but pretty sure.. All the duramax trucks I have worked on other than vans have the injection pump also serve as the lift pump.. Could be fuel related could be a cam or cranks sensor or harness issue or?? Get a handheld scanner to check codes and go from there.. The fuel system prime pump being limp is puzzling though..

WAIT!!! I'M WRONG!!! on an 02 the lift pump/fuel pump is NOT in the tank, it's on the left side frame rail. different years are different. same prinicipal, however listen for the fuel pump running on the frame rail, not in the tank, if not try tapping lightly on the pump (hammer handle or large screwdriver handle should do it)and try again. not a full solution, but it will likely get you home or to a shop without towing.
