Truck lost power at 60. Came to a crawl ran for a bit and shut off. Never to start again. I disconnected the fuel line after the filter and gas pumps out when the pump turns on. I can keep it running using starter fluid. Any ideas?

Good afternoon,

You may need a fuel pump. You may have fuel in the line coming out but not enough pressure for it to run.

I would consider replacing the fuel pump.
