Maybe find and ask a local diesel truck mechanic for log trucks. Isn't Walsh down there hauling chips out of the Hampton Mill ( if it's still there ) Some of those guys are really, really good at finding and figuring things out ...wish you the best of luck...

Thanks for helping guys.  Mechanic called me back, thinks the injector pump is broke. I have a friend who might have a car trailer

First off, thanks again to all you guys for the help.  Bigjohn, thanks for the reference but I'm going to send the truck to Coach to look at. I signed up for AAA and the towing will be free, of course its a yearly fee but you can't beat it.  I sure hope it's not a broken injector pump, we will see.  Coach is busy so it will take a couple weeks to get an answer but he will figure it out for sure.  Thanks again you guys, good to have good people to talk to!

As I recall them trucks have the same Bosch cp3 high pressure pump a Dodge cummins has, with just some slight difference. That and I don't believe Chevy runs a lift pump like dodge does. Pretty sure they let the Bosch do all the pumping.

Them are rebuildable. Expensive to replace though.
Maybe blew a freeze plug out of the pump?

Don't worry we will take care of it ....
 . I'm glad aaa worked out . I will get a look in the next few days and see if  you need to find a banker !  I saw one of those trucks in a magazine once and I'm purdy sure i can fix it .

That's what the mechanic told me in Packwood, he found pieces of metal with his magnet where the pump is.  He now thinks the pump is broke, and it is a cp3 pump.  It is being towed today to Coach's shop, this has been a real bummer but I heard coach is a magician with vehicles so I feel a bit better.  The Auburn dealer wanted 2,707 to fix it!    Thanks to coach for taking on this job, I know he is very busy.

Every time I think I want to get a diesel truck I see one of these threads and the quote of $2707 to fix and I run back to my trusty under powered gas p.u..

Yall make sure and wave as you are speeding by me as I go 30mph uphill towing my travel trailer.

He will get you hooked up!  Have no doubt..

Just got a 2014 F150 with eco boost. Happy to see 20 mpg and plenty of power. Sure seems like diesels have alot of problems lately (my pops had problems with a brand new F350 recently) and the repair costs are high. That coupled with the extra cost at the pump were enough to turn me away. Best wishes on a cheap and easy fix trophy

AAA definitely saved me a few bucks!  What time you open on Friday?

Was it the cp3?.     might look at getting a aftermarket lift pump when you have the cash. It keeps the injector pump from having to work so hard. It also filters air and water from the  diesel fuel. The stock filtration sytem only filters to about five micron but a aftermarket lift pump will filter to two micron.

I'm having to replace injectors on my 04 GMC 2500 diesel and I went ahead and put a lift pump on it first.
