      back fire? sputtering? smoke at all? do the rpm's increase? what is the rpm at 15mph? check engine lamp on? chocks out from infront of the trailer wheels?

      it was sputtering, now its just dead. we are having it towed to the mechanic they think it might be the fuel pump.it was starting then youd give it gas then itd die. and there is some busted lines where the fuel pump is (its in the tank)

      ok cool, you got it handled. i was going to suggest an air flow meter and gas tank tap test using a snap-on HBPT16 diagnostic tool.

      let us know what they find.

      parts is expensive to boot....did they replace the whole module?

      We just remove the bolts from one side loosen the rest and tilt the bed to gain clearance...not quite the drive way job but its possible.

      You could have bought me a plane ticket to come out there and gave me $100 to fix it, and still saved $200!
