1994 Chevrolet C2500 fuel system problems

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 IN MY 1994 CHEVROLET C2500 WITH THE 6.5 L NATURALLY ASPIRATED DIESEL, MY TRUCK SUDDENLY STALLED AND I LOST ALL MY ENGINE POWERED COMPONENTS (POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC.) I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD BUT WAS BARELY SLOWING DOWN. I FINALLY GOT THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH TO GET OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. I THEN HAD TO SIT THERE FOR 30 MINUTES TO ALLOW THE PUMP MOUNTED DRIVER TO COOL DOWN BEFORE I COULD TURN AROUND AND GARAGE MY VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL (5-10) TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A 30 MILE TRIP. I HAVE SEEN MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER 6.5L DIESEL OWNERS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE PUMP MOUNTED DRIVERS (PMDS) ON THIS ENGINE. THEY OVERHEAT AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL. I WILL BE REPLACING THE PMD ON MY ENGINE AND THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF I WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO BRAKE SUDDENLY WHILE MY ENGINE WAS STALLED. IT
