Do you have issues with your 2003 Dodge Ram Diesel diesel fuel pump?

How can you tell that you have a bad diesel pump?

Are you experiencing one or more of the following troubles with the engine? If you are encountering one or more of these issues, you then might be experiencing difficulty with your pump.

• Engine Won’t Run – If your truck’s diesel fuel pump isn’t correctly sending fuel to the fuel injectors, your vehicle’s diesel engine may fail to receive enough diesel fuel, and will not run.
• Truck Hard To Start – If your engine’s diesel fuel pump is becoming weak, but hasn’t yet completely failed to work, it’s possible that it is struggling to send sufficient diesel to the injectors during starting, producing a very hard to start diesel engine.
• Lessened Power From The Diesel Engine – There could be a whole bunch of possible causes for lower than usual diesel engine horse power in your 2003 Dodge Ram Diesel – one of which could be a fuel pump that’s going bad.  If the diesel pump is failing, it might fail to send enough diesel fuel to your engine to give your engine it’s ideal horsepower levels.  Because an abundance of issues that could produce decreased power however, accurate identification of the engine’s problem is critical.

Why fuel pumps need to be repaired?

Sometimes diesel fuel pumps go bad, most commonly as a result of contaminated fuel . When your pumps fail, the vehicle may encounter poor power, difficulty starting, or total failure to start the engine.

These are common reasons for fuel pump failure:

• Bad fuel or contaminated fuel. Whenever your fuel is bad or contains contaminants, it may clog up the engine’s diesel pump and result in it not working properly.
• Fuel Pressure Regulator Failure. The fuel pressure regulator is an electronic part on the fuel pump that sometimes goes bad. Occassionally just the MROMP fuel pressure regulator goes out, instead of the internal parts of the diesel fuel pump.  To troubleshoot if the MROMP fuel pressure regulator is the source of the problem, first carefully examine the MRomp to identify if it has metal flaking or other contaminants (trash, water, etc.) on the inside of it, or around where it screws in.  If so, there’s almost certainly a bigger issue that’s causing the MRomp to fail, and you should rebuild or replace the diesel pump and clean out your diesel fuel system.
• Blown out freeze plugs. From time to time the freeze plugs get blown out inside of the pump.  If this is the case with your diesel fuel pump, this means you have serious internal damage within the pump. Pumps that have the freeze plugs blown out will definitely need to be replaced, and the core is no good (cannot be exchanged).
