chevy 4500 duramax diesel

AxeTree · Dec 12, 2012

hey guys I have a 2005 Chevy 4500 with the Allison auto trans and a 6.6l duramax diesel motor, has 10ft dump bed and behind the cab tool boxes, I bought it off a local landscape company to build it into a chip truck, I had a change of heart and am building a grapple truck instead, the truck has 128xxx miles and the tires are in great shape has hydraulics for salt spreader and plow, never had a plow on it though, the frame is in good shape the bed it rusty will need painted or maybe reskined. I bought it 5 months or so ago and have only drove it enough to use half a tank of fuel and it always ran really good lots of power until the other night check engine light came on and a p1093 code came up witch is (P1093 Fuel Rail Pressure Low During Power Enrichment) my diesel mechanic said due to how the truck runs and the low miles he thinks its either a plugged fuel filter, bad fuel lines, a leak or dirt in the tank (code came one when I became low on fuel)it runs and idles great once running, (since the code came on I hade to give it a shot of starting fluid to get it to start, after it ran it would start fine. I don’t have much experience with the duramax motors but my diesel mechanic works on a lot and thinks its some thing minor I just have to may projects started right now, no room in the barn so I’m selling this truck to help fund my grapple truck, I’m not sure what its worth in the state its in but I’m sure ill take a beating on it 11,000 obo let me know what you guys think ill try and post pictures the cheapest one I found or craigslist was 14,000 with 200k and a gas motor, I haven’t had the truck long enough to know much about it will take some work not sure if it will be a lot or a little it always started when I turned the key until the other day
Thanks feel free to ask questions
