Do you have issues with your 2004 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel diesel fuel pump?

The way to detect if your pump is going bad?

First, does your vehicle show some of these problems? If so, you might have a diesel pump issue.

• Vehicle Will Not Crank – If your engine’s fuel pump is not properly sending diesel fuel to the injection system, then your engine will experience a shortage of diesel fuel, and will refuse to run.
• Engine Hard To Start – If your truck’s diesel pump becomes weak, but hasn’t completely stopped working, you might discover that the pump is failing to send the proper amount of diesel to the injectors while starting, resulting in a very hard to start diesel engine.
• Lowered Power From The Engine – There are many potential reasons for decreased diesel engine horse power in your 2004 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel – one of which may be a fuel pump that’s not working properly.  When the diesel fuel pump is not working efficiently, it may fail to send the proper amount of fuel to the engine to provide your vehicle the ideal horsepower levels.  Because there are so many issues can be producing decreased power however, correct examination of your engine’s problem is very important.

What is the cause of diesel pump issues in 2004 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engines?

Occasionally diesel pumps stop working properly, usually because of bad diesel . When this occurs, your truck may experience a power shortage, problems cranking, or lack of ability to start the engine.

These are common reasons for diesel pumps to fail:

• Bad fuel or contaminants in fuel. When your diesel is bad or is contaminated, it can stop up your pump and stop it from functioning.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator (MRomp). The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic piece on the pump that occasionally goes bad. Sometimes just the Fuel Pressure Regulator goes out, rather than the actual internal parts of the diesel fuel pump.  To identify if the Fuel Pressure Regulator is the source of the problem, you should look closely at the MRomp to see if it has metal flakes or any other contaminants (trash, non-fuel liquid, etc.) inside of it, or near where it screws in.  If so, there’s likely a more significant issue that’s making the MROMP fuel pressure regulator to go bad, and you need to replace or rebuild the diesel fuel pump and clean your fuel system.
• Freeze plugs blown out. Sometimes the freeze plugs get blown out internally within the pump.  When this happens, this indicates extensive damage within the diesel pump. Fuel pumps that have the freeze plugs blown out will have to be completely replaced, and the core is not any good, so it cannot be exchanged.
