96 5.7 vortec stalling?

greme · 08-18-2007, 06:11 PM

i have a 96 3500, 350/auto. the truck just shuts off periodically while driving.
sometimes it starts right back up, but other times it takes a while.
it has dual tanks, but i abandoned the rear tank b/c the filler pipe was rotted out . the fuel gauage only read 1/2 when i fill up the front tank, but the needle flutters, back and forth real fast. i have a feeling it has something to do with the fuel pump/gauge. any thoughts?

I know this is an old thread, but what happened? Seems like a fuel pump to me... why did I never see this? huh.

Yes you are really bored! Are you trying to keep the moderators busy locking out old threads? Next time you gett bored figure out how to get current posters to com back with their results!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have actually tried, I have sent PM's to certain ones for answers to threads that would help myself and others with future problems.... I figure that PM's will send and email to their personal account and might get them back. Does not always work though.... And you know, now that MUD is a MOD, we have to keep him busy somehow...hehehhe j/k

just make sure the user is still somewhat active before you start raising threads from the dead.
