| Diesel Fuel System problems |
Fuel lift pump failure, followed shortly after by a main fuel pump failure (vp 44). The cummins 5. 9 diesel Dodge ram has only 60,000 highway miles on it! at 50,000 miles the rear brakes were completely worn out to the point of being dangerous.
The lift pump on my 2002 Dodge ram 2500 diesel went out while driving. The truck start jerking every time I went to accelerate and nearly caused an accident. After having talked to others with a same truck, others have experienced the same problem. At the time of the incident, the truck had about 19,000 miles on it and was a year and 6 months old. I would not expect this type of failue on a new truck with so little miles on it.
