I sent a message to you shamrock. I was curious to the outcome myself. Same problem here.

I haven't driven the truck long enough for it to act up on me yet I drive it about 2 times a week but only 6 miles to work and back. I did replace the coolant temperature sensor but I need to find the wire that plugs into it somewhere. My clip on mine is broken so it just sits in there. I keep hearing it could be my ignition module over heating but I can't have a mechanic ride with me until that happens again to diagnose.

The transmission seems to be giving me trouble now. Only reverse. It goes into gear easy but you have to give it a decent amount of gas for it to go. Almost like it isn't engaging the clutch or somethin

That sounds like the filter is clogging up. When you gas it the pressure goes up. When the filter gets too dirty then the pressure goes down.

ok i finally got it fixed i think i havent had a problem in months and can drive it on a 2hour trip and have no problems so im guessing it is fixed. i just replaced th fuel pump again just for ****s and giggles and thats what fixed it. that was the third one i put on there and i guess the others had defaults or something .
