Hey all, looking for some advice here in trying to avoid a visit to either of the local mechanics that might not have a lot of 6.0 experience.
My truck has been running flawlessly since I bought it. The other day, I started it up as usual at 55 degrees, and it started right up and went into high idle. Let it warm up for about a minute, and then pulled out onto the street. Everything was going just fine, all gauges were normal, and then it just cut off the second I hit 15 mph. Was able to roll it off the road, but now it won't start. Turns over just fine, has perfect fuel pressure, oil and ALL 6 of my filters were changed not 750 miles ago, and just switched from 15w-40 amsoil full synthetic to rotella T6 5w-40. No serious leaks other than one that looks like a rear mainseal leak that has been present for at least 6 months. Unplugged the ICP sensor (on passenger side valve cover), didn't see any oil, and still couldn't start the truck after extended cranking. After 5-10 seconds of cranking, the oil pressure gauge on the dash will come up to normal pressure, but still no start (assuming that indicates that low pressure system is working, so I won't pull the oil filter). I have no way of running a scan on the truck at the moment aside from the codes that the programmer will pull. I have no trouble codes present aside from the one that popped up once I unplugged the sensor. History report shows a replaced oil pump at the dealer at around 50k.
Really, really, hoping someone can help a brother out here. In dire need of a truck for this weekend, and I'm afraid that even if I get the truck towed, my problems won't be solved. I have some mechanical experience, not much with diesels, but am not afraid to get into it to an extent, and I have a good bit of electrical experience. They warned me, but like everyone, I took on the 6.0 challenge..... hnoes:
