Default Truck shut down on the parkway

Hi all!, was crusin on the parkway yesterday, doing bout 65mph...then it just shut off...I was able to pull off the road, waited a few minutes and it restarted no problem..I then called Kascar...they are pretty knowledgeable over there(nice guys) they said it could be a PMD issue...Ive read about this but just want to make sure these are PMD syptoms...

Yep - sounds like the classic FSD/PMD issue... try pouring some lukewarm water over the area of the PMD (to cool it) next time it stalls, and if it starts right up you will know you are on the right track.

Thats what I thought...It only did it when I was heavy on the pedal...it almost felt like a bucking and or a fuel issue...but as it cooled down it started back up I guess...and there not cheap those PMDs huh?

Vibration & heat is what kills the PMD. The PMD isolators are more money but u will never get a repet problem. Bought mine from Heath Diesel in Washington. Good luck! (Had the same prob)
