Are you having trouble with your 2003 Dodge Ram Diesel diesel fuel pump?

Tips on how to detect if your pump is in need of replacement?

First, does the diesel truck have one or more of these signs or symptoms? If that’s the case, you may have an pump issue.

• Truck Refuses To Run – If your vehicle’s pump isn’t properly feeding diesel to the engine, then the diesel engine will starve for diesel fuel, and will refuse to run.
• Vehicle Hard To Start – If your engine’s diesel fuel pump is weakening, but hasn’t completely failed to work, there’s a good chance that it’s not sending sufficient diesel to the injectors at the time of start-up, causing a hard to start-up diesel engine.
• Substantially Reduced Diesel Engine Power – There could be a whole bunch of potential problems that would cause lessened diesel engine horse power in a 2003 Dodge Ram Diesel – one of which may be a fuel pump that’s not working properly.  If your fuel pump is not pumping properly, it might fail to send the proper amount of diesel to the engine to give the vehicle the proper levels of horsepower.  Given that there are an abundance of issues that could result in reduced power however, accurate examination of the reduced power is important.

What causes diesel fuel pump troubles in 2003 Dodge Ram Diesel Engines?

Sometimes diesel pumps fail, most often because of bad fuel . When your pumps fail, your vehicle will possibly suffer from poor power, problems cranking, or a complete inability to crank the vehicle.

The following are usual reasons for fuel pump failure:

• Bad diesel or contaminants in fuel. Whenever your diesel fuel is not good or contains contaminants, it can clog up the engine’s diesel pump and result in it not functioning.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator (MRomp). The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic part on the fuel pump that will sometimes fail. Sometimes just the Fuel Pressure Regulator goes bad, and not the internal parts of the diesel fuel pump.  To identify if the MRomp is the issue, you’ll first need to look closely at the MRomp to determine if it has any metal flakes or other contaminants (debris, non-fuel liquid, etc.) inside of it, or in the area close to where it screws in.  If yes, there’s likely a more significant problem that is causing the MRomp to go bad, and you need to replace the diesel fuel pump and clean your diesel fuel system.
• Freeze plugs blown out. From time to time the freeze plugs will blow out within the diesel pump.  When this happens, this means you have extensive internal damage within the fuel 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.
