Do you have issues with your 2004 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel fuel pump?

The best way to detect if your pump is going bad?

Have you been suffering from any of the following troubles with the engine? If you happen to be experiencing one or more of these issues, you could be having problems with your pump.

• Engine Will Not Stay Running – If the engine’s diesel pump isn’t properly feeding diesel to the fuel injection system, the engine may experience a shortage of diesel fuel, and will fail to run.
• Engine Hard To Crank – If your vehicle’s pump is weakening, but hasn’t completely failed, it’s possible that the pump is failing to send sufficient diesel to the injectors while start-up, resulting in a very difficult to start vehicle.
• Significantly Decreased Truck Power – There could be many possible problems that would cause lessened engine horse power in your 2004 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel – one possibility may be a fuel pump that’s not working properly.  In the event that your fuel pump is not working properly, it might not be sending the proper amount of fuel to the fuel injectors to give the diesel engine the ideal power levels.  Since there are an abundance of issues that could be producing a reduction in power though, precise examination of your problem is absolutely necessary.

What causes diesel fuel pump troubles in 2004 Dodge Ram with 5.9L Cummins Diesel Engines?

Every once in awhile diesel fuel pumps stop working properly, usually subsequent to contaminated fuel . When this occurs, your truck may experience poor performance, difficulty starting, or a complete inability to start.

The following are typical reasons for pump failure:

• Bad diesel or contaminated diesel. When your diesel fuel is not good or has contaminants in it, it could clog up your vehicle’s fuel pump and stop it from functioning.
• Failing Fuel Pressure Regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is a small piece on the diesel pump that occasionally goes bad. From time to time just the MRomp fails, and not the actual internal parts of the fuel pump.  To determine if the MRomp is the problem, you should look closely at the MROMP fuel pressure regulator to determine if it has metal flakes or other contamination (trash, non-fuel liquid, etc.) inside of it, or near where it screws in.  If so, there’s almost certainly another problem that is making the MRomp to fail, and you should rebuild or replace the diesel pump and clean your diesel system.
• Blown out freeze plugs. From time to time the freeze plugs will blow out internally within the diesel fuel pump.  If this is the case with your diesel fuel pump, this is an indication of extensive internal damage within the diesel pump. Pumps that have the freeze plugs blown out will need to be replaced, and the old pump’s core is no good (cannot be exchanged).
