#462 of 642 2004 dodge ram 2500 cummins turbo diesel by williamsum123 Jan 07, 2009 (8:41 pm)
well it started back in april. i was driving back home when it was like i reached over and turned off the key i coasted off the road and waited a minute then hit the key it cranked over for about thirty seconds to a minute then fired up and i was on my way. Put about four hundred miles on it with out a problem then it did it again so i changed the fuel filter. But it kept doing the same thing. took the truck back to the dodge garage but they could not find the problem. So i kept driving it until i went to town which is only three miles from my house and it quit ten times in the three miles. So i took it to another dodge garage where they told me it was the high pressure injection pump. Which cost me over Twenty Two Hundred dollars they said they test drove it and there was no problems. so i went to pick it up started back home got a mile from the garage when it quit again. if anyone could help me out or has had any problems like this one because my patients are running thin and i am falling behind on my payments because of the service bills and it is my work truck Replies to this message: jaysdodge (Jan 21, 2009 8:19 am) rs6309 (Feb 08, 2009 8:27 am) gwt3383 (Feb 08, 2009 3:34 pm)
#464 of 642 battery problems by keeper34 Jan 19, 2009 (6:52 am)
95, 2500 5.9lit. 115,000 miles. With the cold snaps going threw i plug my truck in just like everybody else. Well the other day i tripped a breaker and it sat while i was at work with no heat. Took me half the day to get it started, and in the process i killed my batteries trying to turn it over. Got a jump and it started. drove it around, let it idle just to get the batteries up to life. Well next morning i go out and the truck is dead. No lights, no clicking dead. I attributed this to the cold weather and old batteries so i replaced them last night. With new batteries truck started right up and no problems. Go out this morning to start plowing and the truck is dead. No lights, no clicking, no beeping, just dead. Any ideas why the truck all of a sudden after not moving more than 20 feet in the course of three days has a battery draw? No lights were left on and i found that the wire connecting the black terminal to the ground of the truck has rusted off, but that stil shouldnt cause a draw. Thanks for any help i get Replies to this message: kcram (Jan 20, 2009 6:54 pm)

Replying to: williamsum123 (Jan 07, 2009 8:41 pm) i've found ur better off not taking a truck to dodge. most dealerships dont really have grade a diesel mechanics. u should try and find a place like something diesel. like in swift current ther is swift diesel , saskatoon has a saskatoon diesel, and edmonton has north american diesel. these kinds of places have actual knowledge and the right tools to find low fuel pressure problems. and ive had my truck to dodge many times but not no more, when they charge u for doing nothing.

#468 of 642 Bosch injector pump by partsman2k Jan 23, 2009 (7:18 pm)
I have a 2000 dodge ram 3500 with the 24 valve 5.9 cummins with a 5 speed manual. The injector pump has been diaganosed as being weak. I allready replaced the lift pump. Im looking at buying a rebuild kit from E-bay for my pump. It comes with NO instructions. Cant find any instructions....Anywhere. What is your thought on trying to do this? I have rebuilt pumps before on heavy duty trucks. I figure If it dosent work the worst is, Im out $55.00 The price of the kit, and i'll still have to buy a rebuilt pump. And who knows I might get lucky and fix mine.
#469 of 642 Cummins eats tps/"lever accelerator" by nuduner Jan 24, 2009 (7:33 pm)
I am posting this for my internet - challenged cousin, who doesn't own a computer. He has an '01 Ram 3/4 ton, Cummins diesel, 131000. Engine will occasionally idle high (1150 RPM). Turn engine off, will reset and idle normally. "Check engine" light on. Eventually will not run. Replaced "lever accelerator" (aka TPS) at 80000. Lasted 10 months. Replaced another 14 months after that. The one after that lasted 3 months. Apparently, this is a rather pricey item. Does anyone out there have any idea what might be causing these things to go out? He's got it in his mind that it might have something to do with the cruise control. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
#470 of 642 6.7 Liter Cummins soot clogging by fordfan08 Jan 27, 2009 (5:06 pm)
I know the 6.7 has been out for a couple years now and I was curious, does anyone know if the turbo still clogs up with ash and soot? If so under what driving conditions does it happen?

Replying to: jjricard (Jan 22, 2009 1:38 pm) Were you having the no start problem before you changed the fuel filter and the lift pump (pickup pump)? If not what has likely happened is that you have introduced air into the fuel system when you replaced the filter....i've found that some trucks are easy to bleed the air out some are a real hassle. If you did not fill the filter up before installing you are going to have a lot of trouble filling up the filters with the lift pump. What you can try is loosening the fuel lines maybe 3 lines either at the injection pump or where they enter the cylinder head but only one side of the fuel line. Try bumping the starter if the lift pump is electronic you should be able to hear it if not electric you have to pump it by hand and that really sucks because they are never in an easy spot to access. Once fuel is present where ever you loosened to fuel line at tighten it back down. And when i say loosen don't completely loosen just loosen a thread or 2. If that doesn't work leave the lines loose get a friend and have them crank the engine for about 15 to 20 seconds at a time. Tighten fuel lines back up as fuel becomes present if the fuel is bubbling from the lines that is not enough fuel has to be spraying out of the lines before you tighten back down.
