Consumer Description

I WAS TAKING A ROAD TRIP HAULING MY BOAT THAT WAS AROUND 300 MILES OR SO AND GOT THROUGH THE FIRST 100 + FINE. DRIVING ALONG WHEN THE TRUCKS DIES ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAS NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO CONTROL AND COME TO A STOP. AFTER FINALLY AND LUCKILY COMING TO A STOP AND HEART RATE STARTED TO DROP, I HAD TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN, I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK TO RESTART AFTER BLEEDING THE FUEL THROUGH THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND HAVING TO BUMP THE KEY A FEW TIMES. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME GOING VERY VERY SLOW AND BEING O SO CAREFUL. COME TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM IS THE LIFT PUMP AND IS EXTREMELY TO COMMON. THIS SHOULD ALERT ANYONE THAT DEALS WITH SAFETY AND SHOULD PROMPT A INVESTIGATION. *TR
