Well, mine won't start at all now. It just cranks. when it did idle, it was VERY rough and bounced. Now won't start. replace a COP on the cylinder that read a misfire, still nothing. I have to believe its the FDPM.
Any thoughts?

Drop your spare tire and check it. Thats the easiest diagnosis. Without inspecting it, there is no other way to tell.

I agree. Mine wouldnt start after i hit a puddle in the road when it left me stranded. It cranked until i killed the battery. Finally i got it started after it dried a little and got a jump start and it ran REALLY rough and missed the entire way home. Replaced FPDM and problem solved. Chances are that it will fall apart on you when you remove it...mine came out in 2 pieces from corrosion
I just inspected mine Sunday, cleaned the corrosion off and used couple 1/4" rubber washers to keep it off the frame. Should never corrode now (sprayed it with some black rustoleum, then spray silicone).

So do these things just go out or do they show any signs they are on their way out? I'm about to head out to the desert for a six month vacation and would like to know I'm leaving the truck in tip top shape for the wife.
