    Dose that engine use a electric lift pump?

    Manual bypass pump?

    Outside of that start looking for leaks?

    I dont believe so but I'll look and see if it's got one somewhere. Theres no sending unit visual from the outside so I'll take a look when I get back to it this after noon.

    If I ever stray from this section (#5) again someone just shoot me...... I guess I’m really not good with words.

    Do you get a CEL when it shuts down, or off?

    Does it act like it's running out of fuel, or just stop?

    Do you get a CEL,Stop light key on not cranking it?

    Probably mainly you getting the feel of it, and the brand new gears not making that any easier.

    From my own experience, I might also suggest the long, crooked, awkward angle shifter in the wide cab trucks adds to the difficulty. Does for me anyway. My T-600 has a short, straight shifter and has always been easier to operate. I hop in the other truck and presto I'm grinding gears like a rookie.

    The KW also has a longer throw, which seems just easier to me as well. Not sure if it's the shifter, or that it has a rtlo18913a instead of the rtlo16913a or converted 9's the other ones have. Just never been a big enough deal to take them apart or do any research.

    I'd suggest give yourself a couple months to get used to the shift feel and engine sounds before declaring it an official problem.

    Let's see... 4 correct answers on page 1 and the topic has run for 4 pages. That can't be good.

    I don't think it's you LOL.
