Problem sovled! One of the times I got it to start I just revved the crud out of it and it stayed on wooot wooot
-
Change your fuel filters. It sounds like you jarred some crud loose.
-
That is good to hear,just be safe out there.
-
Hope this cured the problem. What were you doing on a dirt road? Hope you don't incur the wrath of the pot hole on the way out.
-
hey now, if i didn't follow my gps down them dirt roads. i wouldn't be making delivery. cuz them dirt roads is where they be. up in them there hillsides yonder.

Glad to hear your rolling again. What in the world were you doing on a dirt road? Smile

Century+Dirt=Strange math, to me.
Anyhow, the pre S/T Century(your Century) is becoming quite expensive to buy parts for. The S/T prices, on parts, are climbing steadily as well. Sorry, but I suggest upgrading.... Columbia DD60 EPA04 is decent on parts. Spare yourself from a DD60 EPA07. When you decide to go EPA010 "DD13,15,16/Cascadia" expect a myriad of problems. Yet, Detroit is fantastic on warranty repair/replacement. So is Freightliner. I don't know if DD or FL pays for "downtime" though.
Of course, I would not drive a PX132/113(Cascadia) or CL120/112(Columbia) in "the dirt" any sooner than I would drive a Century(C120/112) into it. They ain't dirt trucks. Smile. -
May have hit hard enough to make the fuel "bounce" up enough in the tank for the pick up tube to suck some air.
