here is the donor ram while, needed to replace fuel lines. with a topped off tank the easiest was was to unbolt the bed and tip it over the side. tailgate wont fit back on now but oh well

After driving the truck through the winter and evaluating my needs I've decided the Cummins doesn't fit what I'm looking for. About a month ago on my way to work in the morning the engine shut off on me. Not sure if it gelled or iced or the fss croaked. I've swapped the filter with a new full one and primed with the banjo loose but Havnt loosened the injectors. It cranks quickly but just won't start. I'm going to try to sell it locally and go with a gen iii/iv SBC swap. Thanks for helping when I needed it. Hopefully I can get it running and not take such a huge loss on the truck

Where are you located at in Indiana? Might have someone close that can give you a hand or be interested in the truck as it sits.

No chit? I'm in Lafayette.

Crack the injectors and see if fuel squirts out of them. If they have fuel to them, run 12v to the FSS and see if it clicks. Otherwise it more or less has to be the fuel supply.

I've got 2 foot drifts between the house and the barn. Where my wrenches are. I can hear the fss click when I remove the wire amd touch it again. Hopefully it will warm up and I can get out and mess with it some.
