1999 cummins n14. Last trip is was random misfire then when i came to a stop it acted like it ran out of fuel and died. Took fuel filter off and it was little over half full. Started back up and seemed fine then 5 miles down road another traffic jam and it did it again. Fuel filter was almost empty this time. Got it home replaced every line on truck including check valve. 2 months ago i got a new fuel pump. Had injector cutout done and they told me 6 and 3 were weak. I changed 6 but didnt do 3. I cant imagine a weak injector causing the fuel filter to go empty. Highway heavey told me i could send pump back in and they would check it but i would need to buy one just incase it isnt the issue. What would cause the filter to run empty besides air or a bad pump?? Also looking for a machanic in KY that knows these engines.
Truck runs like S@#$

It's normal for the filter on the N14 and 855's to run partially full.

Make a fuel line you can connect straight from the pump, drop it in the tank, secure it, and test drive.
If your problem remains, you know it's pump forward, if it solves it, pump back.Heavyd, Rideandrepair, Deere hunter and 6 others Thank this. -
When the truck idles is diesels pretty bad also. Been told it could be bad fuel but this has been going on with the bad adle for awhile and plenty of fuel through it.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
How long does it take to start slobbering fuel into the exhaust and what RPM are you letting it run at when parked?
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Rideandrepair Thanks this.

When you say dieseling I take that to mean its slobbering fuel out into the exhaust. Most engines will do that if left to run at low idle for extended periods. If its missing bad at low idle then that would explain it.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Isolate the issue to one side or the other.Rideandrepair Thanks this.
