My truck seems like it was running out of gas in my front tank when I switch it over to my back tank it still went quit running. It is acting like it is out of gas. No gas is making it to my filter under the hood on the driver side frame near the master cylinder for the brakes. What are your suggestions? Filter is clean, I can hear pump kick on both tanks, have gas.

They had problems with the fuel switching valve between the two tanks. The valve fails and causes the system to lose pressure. I would start there.

On left hand side frame member, behind cab.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
