Fixed the ****** truck
#12
Rewind back to Monday Morning, driving into work. Turn off the main drag and head towards town, bam, silence, zip/zilch/nada; the turbo diesel ceases making diesel noises.
DAMN!
Call work, get a ride, call AAA tow truck home
Fuel Shutdown solenoid has failed
Call dealer:$230; Cummins $130; Injector Shop has one for $69
Replaced, Truck Starts now, but I need to finish reassembly
BUUUUUUUUUUUT, been doing the Pet Crematory Work after my day job, so I am not getting home until 8:30 or later
I miss driving my truck

im wrong, my rebuilders exact words "those things are like $75 aftermarket, I dont bother with the GM ones"
he does rebuild other makes though because they can run alot more money
thats cause every thing GM makes breaks "commonly". Seriously anything you ever break is "common"...basically the cars being broke is "common"
Thats why aftermarket versions are plentiful and cheap.
Hell i got $10 brake pads for my 91 chevy suburban and they work like a charm, and theyre semi-metallic.
Parts are so cheap for GM.

you should know shops get brake pads on special for like $7 a set
that was my price, 50% off list. so $20 regular.
Co-Worker had an older passat, brake rotors were $7, pads were $5.
But spark wires were $300.
