I had a nice '96 GMC diesel that I bought with 56k on it. It had a new injector pump on it. It was a nice truck and flawless till it got near 140k then it started dying on me...kinda scary in the middle of winter in BFE Nevada. Turns out the FSD (fuel solenoid driver) on the pump gets worn and then sticks (most dealers just charge $2000 for a new pump). I replaced mine with an external mount with heat sink and everything was fine. Decided to sell the truck and found out it was worthless as a trade and finally got $7000 under KBB from another GMC diesel owner. Bought a brand new '01 Dodge Cummins HO 6sp and never looked back! Sure was nice to have a truck that didn't lay down and die when pulling a 6000# trailer....or constantly shift when pulling a load into the wind....or turn on the heat full blast on a summer day when towing up a hill.....or running through red lights at the bottom of a mountain because the brakes faded away. Nope...bought a real truck, real suspension, real engine, real lugnuts!
