2008 350 won't start this morning

[trapper]

I went out and tried to start my truck this morning and as soon as it starts firing the truck dies. If I hold the accelerator it runs rough but then still dies. Someone told me glow plugs but I don't know and need help. What do I look for? Business is shut down until fixed

Thanks for any help.

Do you have any mods on the truck? Have you checked your filters? Any DTC's? Where are you / temps? We need some info.

How about some actual info on the truck

[H0USE]

how many miles ? what temp was it

[trapper]

I'm sorry for not providing much more information as I don't know it. It is stock with nothing added to it, I do know that as I bought it brand new. Anyway I towed it to a diesel mechanic shop that looked at it and said fuel pump and it will be around $800.00 to get fixed a long with an oil change. The truck only has fifty thousand miles on it. Very disgusted with this going out so early and I worry I will have this thing draining my finances as I am running lean this Winter.

Temps had got down in the single digits the night before.

Would the fuel pump not be covered under warranty on a truck with only 50K on it?

make sure that its not the high pressure fuel pump gasket/harness. thoese go out from wire chaffing and will ack just like the pump. the labor will be the same but the fuel pump cost.

You ain't gettin a high pressure fuel pump changed on a 6.4 for $800.

Lift pump should be covered under diesel engine warranty to 100k miles.

Check fuse F1.74 in the underhood junction box and see if it's blown. If it's blown the under fuel pump harness has chafed against the pump and caused this problem.

didnt see the $800 quote, not for that repair or part
