The Lift Pump Is Dead Now ?????

OK your truck just died and what now? Your stranded no phone and walking (been there I know) But not so fast! There is a little trick you wont find in the manual that might just get you to the nearest phone.(yes some of us leave home without them!)Here goes, pop the hood but leave the key on. Not start but O.N position. find the lift pump (It's between the fuel filter and the engine block) OK here's the easy part smack/tap the little bugger until it makes a pattering noise about 5-10 seconds when it quits. give it a start. I found this out after mine was towed in, and the mechanic did this, and drove it in the shop.I Told him I tapped on it also with no success .He said but was the key on. NO. It wasn't... Hope someone finds this usefull !! :IDEA:

chevyeatr, sorry to go off on a tangent, but I noticed in your sig that you get 850 km/110L, which equals to (roughly) 13.75L/100 kms.

That isn't half bad at all, considering my dad's 98 Voyager gets 13.3 L/100kms and my ex 98 Breeze got 12.1.

I may print that tidbit up and keep it in the truck for the future. Nothing's worse than getting stranded......
