This actually happened way back in September but I had a family emergency and haven’t had time to work on the truck til now.
So, I was driving my ‘99 K2500, literally the first time after the new exhaust, ign coil, cap, and rotor installed, and it was running fine. About 2 miles from home, the truck dies and won’t restart. I towed it home and then life got in the way.
Now that I’m back on it, here’s what I’ve determined. Fuel pump is turning on. It is getting fuel, but won’t start with either fuel or starting fluid. I pulled the cap and the rotor is turning. No check engine light, at least not when the truck first died. Actually didn’t pay attention to it today. The truck cranks but it sounds uneven, like a pulsing. Haven’t done a compression check.
If I had to guess I’d suspect the timing chain jumped. This happened to my ‘96 about 6 years ago, but I’m not sure. Any thoughts or suggestions?
