Need Dodge Cummins Diesel Mechanic for 98.5 24 Valve
« on: February 10, 2013, 08:06:40 PM »
Looking for a Dodge Mechanic, Live in Marysville, will pay cash or possibly trades for guns.  Will pay for some travel time within reason as well.  I have compressed air and a warm dry shop to work in.  Thanks!

Diesel outfitters in Marrysville can hook you up... I know your looking for some one to do "side work" But Ben is great and LOVES dodges.  :twocents:

I suspect it is the lift pump.  Problem is it is in the tank which the dealerships did as a "fix" for a short while...genious eh?    I want to go back to the original configuration on the block but don't know if it will work with the failed pump in the tank or not.  Then if that doesn't fix it then the injection pump next.

On my 03 i had a on the fram lift pump.... After it gave up the ghost i went with the in the tank option. Now if you need massive PSI increases due to significant up grades then that is one thing, HOWEVER in the tank pumps  self prime and self lubricate... If you are having trouble it may be that when your lift pump went out it stressed your injector pump and now its going out.  How long of a drive did you have when you figured out your lift pump wen tout the first time?

It pretty much died.  Restarted then died again.  I am hoping it is not the injection pump so lift pump is the place to start.  I just picked the truck up as is from a friend/employee.  I bought this truck new in 98, gave it to him (he worked for me) in 2001 at 95K.  He didn't have the money to fix it so I bought it back from him.  It has 271K on it now so it's no showpiece.  I've had this one, 2001 -6 speed and now a 2007 6.7 litre manual.  Wish I had kept the 01 with the manual trans.

I've got a 2001 dodge and I've already been down that road. I lost my lift pump first and thought I got lucky but within a couple months I lost my injector pump. There is a ton of information online about that generation of dodge. I watched videos on you tube and did the work myself, they both were fairly simple to replace. I know 5 or 6 people with 98-2002 dodges that have had the same problem, it's not if it will happen but when will it happen. I would bet it's your injector pump since you've already replaced the lift pump.

The injection pump has been replaced once already as has the lift pump.  I have watched the videos on how to do the injection pump and it is do-able even at my skil level.  But switching back to the original location of the lift pump is my first issue I need help solving, if it is possible with leaving the failed pump in the tank. I have acces to the dealer repair manual and the inj. pump video is pretty well done. But, if I could get someone up here to do a new inline lift pump then I will know if the inj. pump is toast.

You can diagnose the problem without throwing parts at it. The in-tank lift pump is the way to go. Stick with that, they got rid of that other setup for a reason.

Start with the key on/off procedure to get your error code and go from there. 

Do you have a fuel pressure guage?

Please don't mess with diesel fuel pressure unless you know what you're doing. 15-20k psi will do a lot of damage and could hurt you.

A faulty lift pump will not set codes.
