Stalls out in drive???
« on: September 04, 2015, 04:31:34 PM »
Hey guys,
I just recently changed out the fuel sending unit in my 85 c10 350sb. After I finished everything I put about 6 gallons of gas in the truck and it ran fine  ;D . The next day I fired her up and went for a drive, for the first half hour she ran good. I went and got some more gas (about another 6 gallons) then she cut off in the middle of the road  >:( . Now she starts up fine when in park but when I throw her in drive she stalls out.  Anybody got any ideas, I would very much appreciate it.

+2 check the filter.. If the last thing you did was fill up on gas you could have gotten a lot of sediment. Pull off the new filter and blow through it reverse flow into a paper towel or shop rag.. Used compressed air if you've got it
