well this afternoon i was getting ready to take a road trip. within in the first 5 miles the truck died. well i started it back up and kept going. about another 10 miles it died in traffic and started back up. well we decided to go home. i shut it down and now it wont start. I am going to change the fuel filters and see if that has any effect on it since its been about 10k miles and might have got some bad fuel. but i did notice that when i started up the truck it started real quick. truck has 75k miles

when it doesn't start, does it make any smoke?

did you change the filters like you said you were going to?

i did change the filters and they were black after about 8k miles. but it starts but it starts different than normal. kinda fast and hard. i am going to drive it and see if it shuts down on me.

i did have to have the fuse box replaced last year. but no codes or cel. or smoke.

well truck starts fine when cold but after it gets hot it wont start. I drove it to a dealership here that only deals with trucks and mainly diesels. i asked the advisor what he thought and first thing he said was hpop o-ring. so i will find out tuesday what it is.
