Do you have problems with your 2003 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel diesel fuel pump?

How can you tell if you have a failing diesel fuel pump?

Are you presently dealing with any of the subsequent problems with the truck’s engine? If you happen to be encountering one or more of these issues, then you may very well be experiencing difficulty with your engine’s fuel pump.

• Engine Refuses To Stay Running – When your engine’s fuel pump is not properly sending diesel fuel to the injection system, the diesel engine may starve for fuel, and will not crank or run.
• Truck Hard To Start – If the diesel pump is losing it’s strength, but hasn’t yet completely failed, there’s a good chance that it is failing to send sufficient fuel to the diesel engine while starting, producing a difficult to crank truck.
• Significantly Reduced Power From The Diesel Engine – There may be a whole bunch of possible problems that would produce reduced diesel engine power in your 2003 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel – one possibility may be a failing fuel pump.  If the diesel fuel pump is not working properly, it may fail to send an adequate amount of diesel to the injectors to provide your vehicle it’s ideal amount of power.  Since there are so many issues can be causing reduced power though, precise examination of the issue is critical.

What is the cause of fuel pump issues in 2003 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engines?

Occasionally diesel fuel pumps stop working properly, typically as a result of contaminated diesel . When your pumps fail, the vehicle will possibly encounter a power shortage, cranking problems, or total failure to crank.

The following are usual reasons for fuel pump failure:

• Bad diesel or contaminated fuel. Whenever your diesel is bad or has contaminants in it, it can clog up the fuel pump and result in it not functioning.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator (MRomp). The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic part on the diesel pump that sometimes fail. Occassionally just the MRomp goes bad, and not the actual internal parts of the fuel pump.  To determine if the Fuel Pressure Regulator is the source of the problem, you’ll need to carefully examine the MRomp to determine if it has metal flaking or any other contaminants (trash, water, etc.) on the inside of it, or near where it screws in.  If yes, there’s likely a larger issue that is causing the MRomp to stop working, and you will likely need to replace or rebuild the diesel pump and clean out your diesel fuel system.
• Freeze plugs blown out. From time to time the freeze plugs get blown out within the pump.  If this occurs with your fuel pump, this means you have extensive damage on the inside of the diesel fuel pump. Fuel pumps with the freeze plugs blown out must be replaced, and the old pump’s core is no good (cannot be exchanged).
