So my 570 has been giving me a little problem, I changed the fuel pump and filters, and I died again today.
I pulled the fuel hose and no fuel.
So I changed the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump, definite hose blockage.
I also messed with the float switch.
Got it running then it died again bypassed float switch and it runs. So I pulled float switch and it turns out I put it back on wrong.
Got it fixed for now, but I’am ordering another float switch when this goes out.

Was it FUEL hose or just "hose"?
Perfect. Let me know if there's anything I can assist with.

It’s was fuel hose from tank to fuel pump draw side.
Also my float switch is acting up so we unplugged it and shoved a penny on the connectors runs fine.
Ordering a new float switch in the mean time empty every three rooms to be safe Hahahaha

Lastly on my pro1200 if I would’ve changed all my spark plug wires with the spark plugs. I would’ve saved $1500 and had my truck running a 4-5 more days last month.

in that case could be poor connection or damaged wire(s). I had to replace mine on gti . Best check ground wiring first

My guy maybe in over his head.
But I talked to another guy whose a customer. And a mechanic for the city of LA fleet of fords and chevys.
He said it could be a misfire and since we already replaced the spark plugs and wires it could be a bad coil.
That a compression test would find the bad cylinder, but probably replacing all the coils wouldn't be a bad idea.
The check engine light goes off. When I reset the computer by taking the battery cable off. It runs better and the traction control light goes off. It takes time for the light to go back on and the car to run rough.
Turns out it's kinda running on what's called safe mode to protect the catylic converter.
So I'll probably replace all the coils and hope I'm done for a minute.

Replace enough parts and you'll eventually fix it.

It was running great. Could still be a ground wire but where I bought it has no solution either

Since those cylinders are all on one side of the engine its probably the coil. Should have dual coils, one for the left bank and one for the right.
Check all the wiring from and to the coil. Coils usually work or don't. My gmc did something similar. It was the wiring connecter not making good contact. I put a rubber band around it. Fixed.

Those misfire codes could also mean this GM lifter failure
We had those codes too, and replaced plugs. wires, coil packs... at our place and the dealership.

Under my hood lit up like Christmas in the dark when my wires were bad. It was still running good I thought.

Wow. And I thought my service managers were dicks! When Chevy 2015 shit the bed in 2017, the dealership I finally found (thanks to Chris Adkins!), actually said they would work on it with every thing installed, as long as I disabled the Pro. (battery cables off, clutch disconnected). Ended up with them replacing the computer, underhood fuse box. They got it back to running, and the code came back on after 2 days. Turned out the problems damaged the cats, which are in the Y pipe. They replaced that, all was good. (Plugs and wires were on me because they were so cooked). They also did some Pro hose rerouting. Grand total was $429 for the plugs and wires. I'll bet they had $7-10,000 in warranty work, which GM covered. Oh, and after they refilled cooling system, they tested the radiator, and blew it out. They replaced that under warranty because they broke it in the shop.
Sapphire dropped the ball on this machine by not offering known problem help until you asked for it. Went through 3 clutches until they got it right. As for overheating, I understand, but not sure, that they have a replacement direct coupled fan for improved cooling. (As Butler does)
Also, the black heat exchangers, on side of unit, have been springing leaks, mostly in the earlier units. They'll fill up your cooling system with solution until it leaks out the radiator overflow tank. So far, mine has been good. But SS won't replace them until you break down. Which can be tough if you only run 1 truck.

Dropped it off here 12/30
Hes had it three weeks without even quoting me a price on anything.
And he tore the engine up and it's fine.
The number one injector was getting 12 volts way to hot.
Over a week ago. Was supposed to get a harness in Thursday and let me know if it was fixed.
My 570 has been a work horse but with 14 inch of lift under load the engine is starting to bog a little.
I'm going in tomorrow and seeing financially were I stand and if I'm towing it to empire and leaving it to be repoed I'm done with this shit.
I owe 2 more.years to the bank.
And its.cost $750 to have it sit at the place getting fixed.
I can provably make one van work for awhile if my 570 doesn't take a shit too.
I'm just super pissed and dont see a happy ending with this shit.

God damn replace wiring and wrap with heat protection charge me and let me get to work.
At least with a slide in you get support with the van and direct drive your at the mercy of the dealership or any body who'll work on it.
Empire mechanic Tim said we fix it all.
But they're never willing to help me
