Took my truck wheelin last night in a sand pit with some mud holes. Did some crawling and hit the mud hole which was not deep once or twice.
On my way around the pit again going up a slight hill the truck felt like it was bogging hard. When you hit the gas past like 2000 rpm I believe (Tach is off and read 3000), the rpms would just drop back down to nothing. Kinda like a wet distributor. But the distributor was dry and after sitting there trying to screw with it, turning it off and on the response came back. So we wheeled around for a bit more and on our way out I lost 99% of my power. Anything over a 1/4" push on the pedal made the truck bog and slow down and the rpms would drop. I limped it home granny shifting to the max staying under like 1500 rpms.
The only thing I never did was replace the fuel filter on this truck. It has a brand new pump. When I turn the key you hear the pump turn on and off after building pressure. And at the shrader valve I had good pressure initially but after getting home it only shot up about 3in. When I got home I could hear the pump whinning loud though while it was sitting there idling. Sounds like it could be clogged or something in the line could be? It had a 1/4 tank of gas at the time.
I believe I might have knocked something loose in the fuel filter and maybe clogged it up. Or who knows I just hope it isnt a pump because I dont want to buy another one..
