Do you require a Direct Common Rail fuel pump for a 2005 Dodge Ram Diesel?

The best way to detect if your pump is failing?

First, does the diesel engine have one or more of these signs and symptoms? If that is the case, it could be a fuel pump issue.

• Truck Refuses To Run – If the vehicle’s pump isn’t correctly feeding diesel to your engine, then your diesel engine will experience a shortage of diesel, and will not crank or run.
• Truck Difficult To Crank – If the diesel pump becomes weak, but has not completely stopped pumping, it’s possible that the fuel pump is having trouble sending enough diesel to the injectors at the time of cranking, resulting in a hard to start-up diesel engine.
• Substantially Decreased Vehicle Power – There could be lots of possible problems that would cause reduced engine horse power in a 2005 Dodge Ram Diesel – one of which may be a fuel pump that’s going out.  In the event that the fuel pump is not working efficiently, it may not be sending the proper amount of diesel fuel to your fuel injector system to give your diesel engine the optimal levels of horsepower.  Given that there are so many issues may be resulting in a loss of power however, precise diagnosis of the problem is very important.

What causes pump failures in 2005 Dodge Ram Diesel Engines?

Every once in awhile fuel pumps stop working properly, most commonly subsequent to bad fuel . When this happens, the truck will possibly suffer from poor performance, difficulty starting, or total failure to start the vehicle.

The following are usual reasons for fuel pump failure:

• Impurities and/or bad diesel – Bad pumps are most often prompted by bad fuel (contaminants in the diesel,) which can the pump, causing them to stop functioning properly.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic part on the fuel pump that occasionally fail. Sometimes only the Fuel Pressure Regulator fails, instead of the internal parts of the diesel pump.  To determine if the MRomp is the source of the problem, you’ll first need to examine the MRomp to identify if it has metal flakes or other contamination (trash, water, etc.) on the inside of it, or in the area close to where it screws in.  If yes, there’s a good chance that there’s a more significant issue that’s making the MROMP fuel pressure regulator to fail, and you should replace or rebuild the diesel fuel pump and clean your fuel system.
• Blown out freeze plugs. From time to time the freeze plugs get blown out internally within the pump.  When this happens, this is an indicator of serious internal damage within the diesel pump. Pumps that have the freeze plugs blown out will have to be completely replaced, and the core is no good (cannot be exchanged).
