Since we purchased a fixer-upper home in Conifer, Co., it has been quite a while since I was able to get back to working on my GMC. When I last posted I had just driven my GMC across the country and lost power just as I was passing Denver on the highway. The loss of power was such that I was only able to reach a top speed of about 13 miles an hour for the last 20 miles of the drive. Most of the suggestions I was given revolved around the fuel filter as the loss of power was not gradual. The consensus was that the filter may have collapsed.
After much delay I was finally able to get the filter out and was dismayed to see that it looked perfect. I put the new filter in along with a new battery and fired the GMC up. It ran rough for a bit as it had been sitting for way too long but soon began to smooth out. I had high hopes when I backed out of the parking spot. Unfortunately, those hopes vanished immediately as I found that I still had no power. The GMC was barely able to make it back up the slight incline to get back to parking spot despite having the pedal to the floor.
I am going to reach out to the local club as well, but was hoping to get as much input as possible toward possible/likely solutions.
