BTW starters and alternators can go bad bc of install even installed perfectly. I swapped 2 alternators before my pickup accepted the 3rd.

While we are waiting for Tomahawk, your story brings to mind a "back in the day" story.
It was a hot, humid day, back in Missouri, when my old Ford F-250 PU decided to sputter to a stop. I pulled off the air cleaner and the fuel line and no gas. I placed a dry rag over the detached fuel line and cranked the engine over several times. Still, no gas.
Fortunately, a Ford dealership was only about 1/2 mile down the road, so, I carried the old fuel pump down and traded it for a genuine, certified, re-built one. Well, it looked pretty.
However, IT DIDN’T work either ……… I was .....
So, being dripping wet from sweat and reeking of gasoline, I stormed into the parts department to get one that worked. Yes, is was the old style, fuel pump that was mechanically driven off the cam shaft …… so, unless I “lost” a cam lobe, the fuel pump was BAD!
The dude had his mechanic “bench check” it and sure enough the diaphragm was split. So, he gave me a NEW one. I installed it and my truck ran fine.
OK, where were we ……. ??
