Truck quit on me the other day in the driveway, when I put it in park it just shut down like i turned the key off. I cycled the key and tried starting it again. It cranked for 2 or 3 times longer than usual before starting, but it did start. It ran for about 3 seconds then shut off again. I tried restarting it again, but it would not fire, it just cranked and cranked. It doesn't smoke while cranking. I got out my programmer and put power settings back to stock to see if it was a programmer malfunction, but nothing changed, just cranked over but wouldn't fire. I am suspecting lift pump, but will obviously trouble shoot before buying an expensive lift pump on a hunch. My question to you guys is: If it is indeed the lift pump, should i stay stock or go aftermarket? Is it price comparative? Is there a distinct advantage going with aftermarket? What aftermarket would you recommend? I don't do anything crazy, so i'm not worried about starving the injection pump, so stock output is fine with for, fwiw. Thanks in advance!
