So I got this 1981 IHC S1854 with a DT466 about 2 weeks ago. Used it for a job last week and ran great for about 4-5 loads and during the last load I was cruising around 55mph and it started to lose power and eventually stalled out. Pulled off the road and started it back up and it went for about a mile or so then died again....after a few times stalling a dying I finally got it home. Changed out both fuel filters (they looked pretty old, filled then with diesel before I installed them), primed it and it ran for about 15 mins then completely died out and wouldn't start unless I let it sit for like and hour or so. It seems to be losing prime for sure. Looked at the main fuel line coming from the tank to filter housing and found a spot between frame and cab that looked to be chaffed a good bit, so I pulled it out and replaced it with new rubber fuel line. Primed it and it started and idled for about 10 mins and stalled out exactly like before. Decided to bleed air from bleeder on top of filter housing and a lot of air came out, cracked all the injector lines and primed it up again. Still didn't start and noticed foamy bubbles only coming out of injectors 5 and 6 (6 had way more). So what is my next diagnostic step and anyone have any ideas off the top of there head??? Thanks
