Hx40 turbo on 6.2
On my F250 it's on the frame rail, which is where you want it, at the low point so it can push fuel up instead of pulling. On my 6.2, it's beside the primary fuel filter, where I put it as a quick & dirty temporary fix, intending to move it to the frame rail when I got home. I won't mention...- backwoodsman

Hx40 turbo on 6.2
You don't really need anything fancy. I use a Facet Cube-type solenoid pump. On my 6.2 Suburban it's in series with the mechanical lift pump, but on my F250 diesel (essentially the same fuel system) it runs on its own with no mechanical pump, and has worked just fine for many years. But if it...- backwoodsman

Gelled fuel or bad pump?
Do you have an electric pump upstream of the primary filter? If not, that would suck air in, not push fuel out. Stopping as abruptly as if the key was turned off seems to me to lean away from fuel gelling, and I'm not sure that's cold enough to gel it anyway. I'd be looking first at the...- backwoodsman

33” tire rim width
I'm surprised no one has mentioned that tire manufacturers specify a range of rim widths for each tire. It'll be on their website. The 33x12.5's I've checked specify a minimum 8" rim. It seems like a bad idea to deviate from the manufacturer's specs on something on which safety depends so...- backwoodsman

Dual tank diesel, where to put fuel pump?
That doesn't always work, especially if there's rubber fuel hose in the system. I've had rubber hose get porous to air when it gets old, so air gets sucked in right through it but fuel doesn't leak. @tundrawolf That would be something to check if there's any old rubber fuel hose upstream of...- backwoodsman
