[QUOTE="oldschoolboomer, post: 6059531, member: 577948"] back when I used to drive a truck for a tree trimming company I would play jokes on other drivers by replacing the fuel pump relay 30 amp circuit breaker with a 15 amp. The guy would start his truck and drive off no problem. Once the circuit breaker heated up, the fuel pump would shut off mysteriously causing the engine to die. They would pull over and call the boss. By the time the boss would show up, the circuit breaker resets itself and the engine fires up normally. The boss gets pissed off because there doesn't seem to be a problem. The crew leaves and drives another 5 minutes or so and it dies again. They ended up replacing the circuit breakers in all the trucks not only because of the mysterious fuel pump relay issues, but as time goes on, the circuit breakers "lose strength". Sorry for the long story. But this is why I believe the circuit breaker is your problem. [/QUOTE]
