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.I've got a 2001 dodge and I've already been down that road.

Have you checked your pcu and ecu? codes
Start with the key on/off procedure to get your error code and go from there.
Do you have a fuel pressure guage?
Post by: jackelope on February 10, 2013, 09:15:59 PM
A faulty lift pump will not set codes.

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.
Sorry, I meant a fuel pressure guage mounted in the cab.
Would an faulty injection pump set a code?

Let me see if I can find it.

p0216 is another one you don't want to see.The dreaded VP death code. :(

if you do get diesel out of your inlet and return line then i'd guess you vapor locked your injection pump. very common problem, just take a 3/4" wrench and crack loose a few fuel lines going to your head and bleed them out. but easiest way to check for any fuel is the inlet and outlet banjo bolts on the side of your injection pump. very easy to access, very easy problem to diagnose. check these yourself before you start spending any money on a mechanic/parts.

Maybe I will be the lucky guy and it is just the lift pump but Murphy's Law usually don't treat me well.

Make sure you try what Quicksilver suggested above. That was spot on!! He should know, after all, his truck did like eating VP's. Finicky Mikes pumps. :chuckle:
If the code and testing is true, there not the cheapest around, but they do stand behind their product!! You might be able to find one for about $200 less though.....

Uggh, I hope it turns out to be something other than what the code says.A Buddy has had great luck with Oregon pump.
