    Don’t rule out the fuel filter

    Found out the reason I wasn't getting any fuel to the pedal was because it was $8 per gallon

    Great. Usually ,it happens Saturday evening and you do not have the parts.

    I don't have one of those. My truck has a steel rod that goes from the pedal to the fuel pump.

    Hello , I drove semi for over 20 years , and throughout those years my tractors have up graded and changes to the models were made , the most common problem I had with my equipment is the DEF pump , the pump on my trucks were always giving warnings and problems, the big thing is garages don’t have DEF pumps on their shelves and it could take days for them to get one into the shop to swap out , what do you thinks about the problem???

    You drive an old truck. Today, 9 times out of 10 on newer trucks, it's because your truck is derating, usually related to the def system, which sucks.
