Are you having issues with your 2003 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel diesel fuel pump?

Signs of a fuel pump problem:

Primarily, does your truck have these symptoms? If that is the case, you might have a diesel pump failure.

• Engine Will Not Run – When the truck’s diesel fuel pump isn’t properly sending diesel fuel to the injection system, then the diesel engine could starve for diesel fuel, and will not run.
• Truck Difficult To Start – If the engine’s fuel pump is weakening, but hasn’t completely failed to work, you may discover that the pump is having trouble sending enough diesel to the diesel engine while cranking, producing a very hard to start-up vehicle.
• Reduced Truck Power – There are a whole bunch of possible issues that would cause reduced engine power in a 2003 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel – one possible issue may be a failing fuel pump.  In the event that the pump is going out, it might fail to send enough diesel to your fuel injectors to provide your engine it’s optimal horsepower levels.  Because there are an abundance of issues that may be resulting in reduced power though, proper examination of your reduced power is very important.

What causes diesel fuel pump issues in 2003 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engines?

Every once in awhile pumps fail, most commonly as a result of bad diesel . When this happens, your truck might encounter poor power, cranking problems, or a complete inability to start the vehicle.

The following are typical causes that fuel pumps fail:

• Bad fuel or contaminants in diesel. When your fuel is not good or is contaminated, it may clog the engine’s diesel pump and stop it from operating properly.
• Fuel Pressure Regulator Failure. The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic part on the pump that occasionally goes bad. From time to time only the Fuel Pressure Regulator fails, rather than the internal parts of the diesel pump.  To identify if the MRomp is the source of the problem, first examine the MROMP fuel pressure regulator to determine if it has any metal flaking or any other contaminants (trash, water, etc.) within it, or near where it screws in.  If yes, there’s a good chance that there’s another issue that is making the Fuel Pressure Regulator to go bad, and you should replace or rebuild the diesel pump and clean your fuel system.
• Blown out freeze plugs. Sometimes the freeze plugs get blown out inside the diesel fuel pump.  If this is the case with your fuel pump, this is an indicator of extensive problems within the pump. Pumps with the freeze plugs blown out must be completely replaced, and the old pump’s core is not eligible for exchange.
