Are you having issues with your 2004 Dodge Ram Diesel diesel fuel pump?

How do you know that there is a failing fuel pump?

Primarily, does your engine exhibit these symptoms? If that is the case, you might have an pump problem.

• Vehicle Won’t Stay Running – If the diesel fuel pump isn’t properly sending fuel to the injectors, your truck’s engine may starve for diesel, and will not run.
• Truck Difficult To Crank – If the engine’s diesel pump becomes weak, but hasn’t yet entirely stopped pumping, it’s possible that it is failing to send the right amount of diesel to the diesel engine during starting, resulting in a difficult to start-up vehicle.
• Significantly Reduced Engine Power – There may be lots of potential reasons for lowered diesel engine power in your 2004 Dodge Ram Diesel – one of which could be a fuel pump that’s going bad.  When the diesel pump is going out, it may fail to send an adequate amount of fuel to the fuel injectors to provide the vehicle the correct amount of power.  Because there are an abundance of issues that may produce decreased power though, accurate diagnosis of your reduced power is critical.

Why do diesel fuel pumps must be replaced?

Occasionally diesel pumps go bad, usually due to bad fuel . When your pumps fail, your truck will possibly encounter poor power, cranking issues, or total inability to start the engine.

These are usual reasons that fuel pumps fail:

• Contaminants and/or bad fuel – Bad pumps are most often caused by bad fuel (impurities in the fuel,) which can clog up the diesel pump, forcing them to not work properly.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic piece on the pump that will sometimes go bad. Occassionally just the MRomp goes bad, rather than the actual internal parts of the diesel fuel pump.  To determine if the MRomp is the actual problem, you should look closely at the Fuel Pressure Regulator to see if it has metal flaking or other contaminants (debris, non-fuel liquid, etc.) inside of it, or near where it screws in.  If yes, there is probably a bigger issue that is making the MROMP fuel pressure regulator to go bad, and you will likely need to rebuild or replace the fuel pump and clean your diesel system.
• Blown out freeze plugs. Sometimes the freeze plugs will blow out internally within the pump.  When this occurs, this indicates extensive damage within the pump. Pumps that have the freeze plugs blown out will definitely need to be completely replaced, and the core is not any good, so it cannot be exchanged.
