As stated, motor acts like it wants to hesitate and cut out. Today I was pulling my trailor and after coming up a hil I would push into the throttle and got no response. It started hesitating when I pushed into it. I would let. And baby it. Right now its doin fine. What could be causing this?

 

[BadRancher]

Oh yea. Its an 05 LLY. One more question what is the normal warm temp on these?

welcome to df
how many miles are on your truck, please fill out your sig

Normal temp on the gauge will read anywhere from 180-210. Doesn't mean a thing. They are crap, the temp only really gets to around 185. As for the problem. Replace your fuel filter. They are notorious for screwing things up on these trucks

 

[BadRancher]

200,000. I just got this thing.

 

[FREIGHTTRAIN]

replace the fuel filter so i am guessing it is stock than

[BadRancher]

Yes sir. It is bone stock to my knowledge.

 

[crdmax]

ya replace the fuel filter and repalce the stock turbo mouthpiece with either a lbz or the afe mouthpiece. The lly one is very restictive and could be causing some of the heating issue.

 

[BadRancher]

How hard is it to change?

the factory gauge is actually very accuarate..and it does mean something. 180-210 is normal depending on what you are doing or how hot it is outside etc.

 

[Odyssey25013]

On an LLY it is fairly simple, just a tight squeeze. The filter is located up on the firewall on the passenger side

1. Unplug sensor at bottom of filter
2. Unscrew the sensor from the bottom of the filter
3. Unscrew the filter
4. Screw on new filter
5. Screw on sensor
6. Plug in sensor
7. Unscrew bleeder screw on top of the assembly
8. Pump finger pump until diesel comes out of the bleeder
9. Screw bleeder screw back in
10. Start truck

Guess its just mine then. Had it plugged into my buddies EFI Live for a scan and it read 179 while the guage was straight up at 210

 

[BadRancher]

Its not just yours. Mine moves in between the quarter mark to 210. It really depends on the RPM's from what I have gathered paying attention to it. At night it seems to post a cooler temp no matter what. The oil pressure guage also bothers me a lil. It never makes it to the 60 mark and idles below the quarter mark when warm.

I hope this is just the fuel filter and nothing else. I dont want the decision to buy this truck to be a bad one.

 

[BadRancher]

Jeez. I can't break this thing with my bare hands.

 

[triton220lts]

Jeez. I can't break this thing with my bare hands.

A small strap wrench helps sometimes.

 

[triton220lts]

Oh yea, it's hard to get a good grip coming from the top. You might need to take the fender liner off and then try.

 

[BadRancher]

Finally got it done. What a biatch.:rockin
