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.
