#594 of 640 2001 Dodge Ram not getting fuel to injector pump by doublecreek Jun 25, 2009 (8:25 am)
My 2001 Cummins 2500 Ram will not start. I am not getting fuel to the fuel filter cannister and I have already replaced the lift pump. Is there any thing besides a clogged fuel line or stopped up pickup that would cause this. I think pump should run for 2 seconds when I turn the ignition switch on. Any input would be appreciated before pull the bed off to access the fuel tank.

I have a 99 dodge ram 2500 5.9 cummins. The trasmisson is leaking when I put in gear. It even blew out the pan gasket once. I think it is producing to much pressure and I would like to know how to fix it.

Replying to: rhino379 (Jun 19, 2009 10:51 am) I am a Dodge truck technician and I have seen that problem multiple times. The answer is not what you are going to want to hear.   If you have it set back to stock, and it is still throwing the overboost code, the most likely culprit is your turbocharger wastegate. At the dealer the wastegate comes with the turbo. So probably you will be installing a new turbo to get rid of that code.

Replying to: condor74 (Jul 07, 2009 1:30 pm) If it is set to stock, would my Cummins warranty cover it? I have 65k on it. If i put a boost fooler and monitor my boost pressure will it affect the turbo/ motor? How can I check my wastegate? Replies to this message: condor74 (Jul 09, 2009 2:49 pm)

Replying to: rhino379 (Jul 07, 2009 6:16 pm) If you put your truck back to stock, remove all evidence that the bully dog was ever there, you should be able to get covered under warranty. We are pretty good at finding evidence of stuff so make sure there is no stickers that say bully dog, no velcro left over on the fuse box under the hood if you had a piggy back style controller, stuff like that.   The technicians at the dealer get paid very little to make the repairs under warranty. If they find a way to make it go customer pay they get paid 2 times as much or more. Replacing a turbo under warranty is the worst. It only pays about 2 hours and it takes 4 or 5 hours to do if you are fast.   If you have taken it to your local dealer and they have seen your Bully dog performance system then take it to another dealer that hasnt seen it.   Good Luck.

Replying to: backtoram (Nov 28, 2006 10:28 am) I have seen this complaint come through my shop and there is not much you can do about it. The vibrations that I have come across are all caused by driveshaft angle. The trucks were designed to be loaded. When the truck is unloaded the angle is off. If you adjust the pinion angle to the correct angle when unloaded the angle will be off when loaded.   The best advise I could give you is something that probably wont be covered under any warranty. You could have the pinion angle adjusted so it is correct when the truck is unloaded. Then you could have some air bags installed on the rear suspension so you can lift the back of the truck back to the unloaded level when it is loaded. Airbags are nice caus you can tune the air pressure to the amount of load you have.   It is amazing to me working at a shop , the amount of problems that could be fixed by explaining stuff to the customer with out ever raising a wrench on the truck. Unfortunately the mechanic who is working on your truck is not who you generally talk to. You generally talk to the service adviser, who in most cases doesnt know anything about cars and trucks. Half the time we dont get the whole storry or correct complaint that the customer made on the work order.
#602 of 640 slow take off by acatchot Jul 15, 2009 (3:19 am)
I have a 2003 Dodge with cummins. It has 130K miles. Last couple of days when I start off especially on a hill it feels real sluggish it will eventually go but I would compare it to taking off in third gear in a stick shift. Once get just a little speed everything is fine. No sputtering all else great. Any ideas are much appreciated.
