worried sick abuot my duramax

[speedmetal6.6]

Hey everybody . I was out messsing around as usual and got into a confrontation with a cummins with stacks on it , I ultimatley won the negotiation @ about 120 but my check engine light came on and the truck would barely run. I got it home and the code said 0087( I think),anyway I was nervous so i just cleared it and drove it to see if it would run and it did but I did not get on the throttle much.My question is what do you guy's think happened and did I screw it up bad or did I get off lucky

low fuel presure code iirc you should be fine. looks like u need a lift pump

 

[NelsonDiesel]

just a fuel pressure regulator code... basicly you used up all your fuel in the rail and the pressure dropped....

look into a ppe shim kit.

You're fine, you just drained your rail of fuel. Time to get a lift pump or try to shim your fuel rail valve

Thanks guys I was scared because even though I didnt feel anyhting slip I was worried it went into limp mode because it wouldnt run over like 35-40 until I got back to the house and cleared the code I even tried shutting the truck off for like 5 minutes and that didnt work either. Thanks again I didnt think I was going to get much sleep tonight

Your not the first one to throw an 0087 code and think you limed the tranny... You will definitely need a lift pump so it doesn't throw that code anymore. We carry all major brands if you need one. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks I thought it went into limp mode because I even tried shutting the truck off for like five minutes and it still wouldnt run over lke 35-40mph until I got it back to the house and cleared the code

Takes I think 40 key cycles to clear its self

Woah..

I thought it was Dual CP3's...

Care to express your thoughts. I was going to put on a lift pump...

Actually a tranny limp will leave the check engine light on but will allow you to drive normal after the truck is shut off and started back up. Also trans problems thow the P0700 code along with the actual code. P0087 puts you into an "Engine Protection Mode"

What do you guys recomend for a lift pump ppe, bd, or fass and how big

 

[othrgrl]

I personally run AirDog 150gph - comes with a filter and water seperator and a 1/2" fuel pick-up. They also have parallel mount units now so that they sit along the frame. Haven't seen a BD unit in person, FASS is very similar to AirDog (one is made by the father, one by the son and they have actually had patent lawsuits against FASS) but the FASS is a good bit more expensive and louder. PPE is virtually the same as an edelbrock fuel pump but with different packings to hold up to diesel.
