Has anyone just for hell of it ! taking the pump apart to see why or what is the problem? well I have and this is what I found out, too save money, they have used glue too hold the two gears onto the shaft !!!! What are they trying to prove ? or what every the reason may be . it nothing more then just a joke. This is my first & last dodge never again !!! PS there is more things I could say and there not good by any means . I really hate this truck !!!!!!!!!!

Update from Apr 27, 2012: the fuel pump is made by carter ,you can buy the pump from NAPA for about $ 90.00. Now this is what I don't understand, why is the same pump from dodge cost $350.00 + ????? Like I said, never will I buy a dodge again . it is a good thing there not making airplanes or do they?

Ram 2500

  • Manual transmission
  • 170,000 miles

The dealer said that it needed a new fuel injection pump. This is the second pump in 3 years. I am pissed off about this I don't have the money and dodge needs to pay for it. This pump only lasted 45000 miles. It only had a one year warranty and 12000 miles on it. It has been a really good truck except for this. Not sure what to do now. Working on the chrysler customer service. So far it doesn't look good. Any suggestions?

Ram 2500 LS 5.9L Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

I had the fuel pump run the injection pump lean causing it to burn out. The problem was noted by chrysler that there was a problem because is was happening alot. I took the truck to a top diesel mechanic and they checked with Chrysler and said yes there was a problem. Chrysler never had a recall and there were no warning lights to note the problem until your truck totally stopped and was inoperable. I had a idiot light sensor added so if the fuel pressure drop below 4 lbs of pressure I could shut the truck off and hopefully no damage. I also installed two fuel pumps one internal and one external so I should not (so far) have the problem again. I destroyed my wallet at the tune of $5000. Chrysler would not back my waranty because i was 30 days over the 5 years. I had it towed from Chrysler dealership where I had it finally fixed.
