I bought this Dodge Cummins about a month ago, some of you might remember my post about it.My son was driving it today and it lost power and died. He was approaching the John Deere dealer so he coasted in and then called me. Outside temp was five degrees so we thought it had gelled. Poured a can of Power Serve in the tank, drug it down the road with my son's pickup for about a half mile and it started up and ran. Drove it two miles and it died again. Then we started thinking it might just be out of fuel even though the gauge still showed 3/4. Well, our hunch was right. Pulled it to town, filled the tank, drug it about a block with his pickup again, and it started and kept running. I'm thinking the sender float is hung up on something in the tank because when the tank was filled the gauge did go to the top from where it was sitting at 3/4. I replaced this sender last spring with a new one purchased from the Dodge dealer and everything was working then, but I didn't see the truck again until late this fall, so I don't really know how long it actually worked right. First thought in my mind was CHEAP CHINESE JUNK, but maybe not. Coundn't be the installer made a mistake could it? Jim
