Are you having problems with your 2006 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel diesel fuel pump?

How to detect if your pump is going bad?

First, does the engine have some of these indicators? If that’s the case, you could have an pump failure.

• Vehicle Will Not Crank – When your truck’s diesel pump is not properly feeding fuel to the injectors, your vehicle’s diesel engine will experience a shortage of diesel, and will not crank or run.
• Vehicle Hard To Crank – If your fuel pump loses it’s strength, but hasn’t yet completely failed to work, it’s possible that it’s struggling to send sufficient fuel to the engine at the time of start-up, causing a hard to start-up diesel engine.
• Lowered Power – There are many possible issues that would cause decreased diesel engine horse power in a 2006 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel – one possibility could be a failing fuel pump.  When your diesel fuel pump is failing, it may fail to send enough diesel to your fuel injectors to give the engine the ideal horsepower levels.  Since countless issues that may produce a loss of power though, accurate diagnosis of the reduced power is critical.

Why diesel pumps need to be repaired?

Every once in awhile fuel pumps fail, usually as a result of bad fuel . When your pumps fail, the truck will possibly experience poor performance, cranking issues, or lack of ability to start.

These are common causes for diesel pumps to fail:

• Contaminants and/or bad fuel – Bad diesel pumps are often caused by bad diesel (contaminants in the diesel,) which can the diesel pump, forcing them to fail.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator (MRomp). The fuel pressure regulator is a small part on the fuel pump that will sometimes fail. From time to time only the Fuel Pressure Regulator stops working, instead of the internal parts of the pump.  To diagnose if the MROMP fuel pressure regulator is the problem, you should examine the Fuel Pressure Regulator to determine if it has any metal flaking or any other contamination (debris, non-fuel liquid, etc.) inside of it, or in the area close to where it screws in.  If so, there’s almost certainly a bigger problem that is making the MRomp to fail, and you need to rebuild or replace the diesel pump and clean out your diesel system.
• Blown out freeze plugs. From time to time the freeze plugs will blow out inside the fuel pump.  When this occurs, this is an indication of serious internal damage within the diesel pump. Fuel pumps with the freeze plugs blown out must be replaced, and the core is not eligible for exchange.
