Problem with my truck?

well since you say you pressed the accelerator and nothing happened, maybe the fuel pedal had gone bad. you probably have a "drive by wire" fuel pedal.....what you can do is look for the connector plug from the fuel pedal and disconnect it and clean it. get in there with maybe a Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol and clean the contacts (if you can), then re-connect the plug and try that. the fuel pedal is actually quite an easy remove/replace item if you need to replace it. i do not know your particular pedal assembly, but mine had the fuel pedal "riding" a ramp if you will and under the pedal was the "black box" and under that was a metal wheel, that would ride up/down that ramp as i gassed on it. if your's is like that, clean that "ramp" and try to clean that wheel. a little, WD-40 sprayed into the wheel (if you can) might help as well, IF you have moisture in there.

on the truck(s) that i drove, there wasn't any idiot lights that came on either, but from your description, it does appear to sound like the same problems i had with the fuel pedal "black box".....(if i am wrong, sorry, i can only relate what i went through and your description)....

if it is YOUR truck, (as in you are an o/o).......if it is the fuel pedal, and if you do buy another one......might not be a bad idea to have a spare one with you for in the future this happens again.....and you're a million miles away from a repair shop or home......

look at the miles on your truck, all of ours went bad between 150,000 to 160,000 miles.....so every 150,000 miles, we were having problems all over again......

if yours is beyond those miles, (say you have right now, 300,000 miles) then figure when that same miles hits again, you might be replacing the fuel pedal/black box...(600,000 miles).......

 

let me know what it is/was...???

 

That right there is your problem... There is no such truck.

There is a Century & there is a Classic... But no Century Classic

 

don't feel to badly...

i once thought i drove a Mackinknew.....

 

By the way....this part on my KW?

$425 - nothing sold separately. Entire new assembly only.

..I opted to clean the crap out of it (spring/roller/ramp and connections)
instead of replacing it.....

 

yeah we had all macks.....when it hit that mileage...??

they ALL needed a new fuel pedal....

i think a good cleaning might help, the connectors on the mack were nearly on the floor......and the roller was subjected to all kinds of crap.

 

Yup. In my case the roller spring was 'gummy' with rust.
It was a pleasure to NOT have the accelerator return when it was supposed to.
