I have a 2000 ram 3500 /w 5.9 cummins.It has a 5 speed trans. It has 270000 miles on it. last week i put fuel in it and immedantly is lost half the power.I have no check engine lights on, I changed fuel filter, added lucas injector cleaner. No luck. I was told it was probally the lift pump going out so I replaced it. No luck. I siponed most of the fuel out and added new fuel. Again"No luck" The truck will sometimes pickup and run great and other times I only have half the power. This has been a great pickup up untill now. Any help would be great.

| I have a 06 ram 2500 with a 5.9 diesel and with the fuel prices I do not drive it a lot it seats in a garage. How long can it eats before it become a problem with the fuel? And what can I add to the fuel so it dos not go bad? | |

Ok, all you folks out there a lot smarter than me. I really don't understand this collusion: Why is diesel not falling hardly at all in my area while gasoline and oil per barrel is falling like a pair of meteorites? It (diesel) is a $1.10 - $1:25 MORE per gallon still than regular unleaded. Is big oil figuring they are still in control of sticking it to the truckers, aviation industry, and those in the northeast that use heating oil? I just don't get it! Any real insight you have, my nerves can really appreciate hearing it. T29 |

| Here's a good one for you techs.. 04 2500 5.9l 300,000 kms. Problems with very noisy engine. Dealer replaced #1 injector, still noisy, brought it back. I was with tech while hooked up to computer. When he shut down # 6 injector sounded ok. So I said pull all inj. out and test. They all failed. They replaced with remans. All was ok for 5,000 kms. Started to be hard to start when at op. temp. I replaced fuel filter. Did not help. Continually got worse. to the point where it would not start. Had to leave for 1+ hours before it would start. Brought it to another repair shop which specializes in small diesels. Lift pump tested ok injector pump tested ok. no codes. They felt it may be the reman injectors because the electrical parts in each inj.can't be rebuilt. Stated that 20% of fuel is injected into cylinder prior to normal time before TDC. When inj. are hot this may not happen. Brought it back to Dealer for more testing. I relayed this info to them. They are still testing and talking to the reman company. They say it is not the inj.s. They really don't know what the problem is. Also, when in no start condition engine sounds quiet as if no fuel. Give a little sniff of starter fluid and jumps to life.When running sounds good, power is good fuel economy is normal... Any ideas???? | |
