Calm down. Think logically. Don't panic.
Which engine do you have? The WLT or the TDCi engine? If your engine has a big black plastic thing covering the engine block, it's TDCi. If not and you can see your engine, plus the airbox is square-shaped, it's the WLT.
- First check your fuel levels. Did you run out of diesel?
- next try priming your fuel pump to see if there's air in the system. Look for the fuel pump on the left side of the engine, right next to the battery. Put an empty bottle onto the outlet valve near to the bottom of the pump. Raise the priming handle at the top and pump it a few times until it gets hard to pump.
- If that fails, it's probably a clogged fuel line or a faulty fuel pump, or something else along the fuel line.
- Call 8004TOW and bring the truck to the stealership, or at least to a reputable garage. I think McEarney motors liases sometimes with either MasterServ in Barataria by the Fernandes compound, or with Laughlin & Degannes.
- Alternatively you can bring the truck to Sookhai's diesel if it's a problem with the fuel pump or with the injector system.
- Otherwise call your mechanic or your neighbour's mechanic if you don't have one.
Good luck, hope you get your truck sorted out.
