Curious does anyone know what the life expectancy of a VP 44 Injector pump for a 2000 3/4 ton Ram 4x4 is. Thanks |

| I'm having a problem with my engine loosing oil pressure when stopping at a stop sign etc. especially when it's hot outside and pulling a load, i.e. travel trailer. I'm using 15W-40 oil, oil pressure is 45-50 psi or so when above idle and steady at working rpm's. When I stop at a stop sign, sometimes the oil pressure suddenly drops to zero, the check engine light and warning sounds. If I rev the engine a little, the oil pressure will pick back up again. I'm going to install a direct reading gauge asap to try to isolate the problem to the oil pressure sending unit, but wonder if any of you have had this problem and I'm dreading to suspect the oil pickup tube is either cracked or the attach bolts are loose.. Engine just turned 200,000 miles and uses a qt of oil about each 500 miles. | |

Engine light keeps coming on and dealer cant seem to fix it. They claim it is due to the emissions on that yaer of truck. They change o2 sensor , turbo, clean this and that. I find it interesting that when i fill tank completely up and then run to 7/8 of tank the light comes on religously. It will go off after a bit and then back on at half a tank. I have told dealer this and they claim that is coincidence. Dealer claims they have this engine light problem on a lot of the diesels and cant fix it. All i can do is keep bringing it in so they can clean it and reset computer. Does anyone have this issue or can help?

Hi there, took delivery of my diesel quad cab four weeks ago, I drive about 20 freeway miles to work each way. Engine light came on at 1422 miles so I called the dealer here and dropped it off two days ago for repairs.">  First it took them till today to finally scan it, now they tell me they have to clean egr and replace o2 sensors. Dealer told me it will probably take several days to get to my truck,

Dodge is working to correct this problem to allow the regenning to work under a different procedure We have fixed 2 so far and so far we have been lucky to correct the problems |

How can you tell the difference in the cummings diesels dodge put in the ram 2500 SWB trucks in 2004. I understand there was a midyear change from a Horsepower  rpm. 250 2900 to the 305 2900 Torque (lb-ft) rpm. 460 1400 to the 555 1400 Is there a way to tell by opening up the hood and looking? If not can you find out from the VIN? Thanks!
