Re: Truck stalling

Check your fuel filter maybe? Could be gunked up to prevent sufficent fuel flow to engine.

Re: Truck stalling

remove and clean the line from the pump up to the carb(or filter)
i changed the fuel pump and was surprised at the rusty crud in there
i figured it just fell away from the filter back into the line...
