Starting issue

[Dimler]

I have a 2006 Ram 2500 with 5.7 Hemi. Several times recently after filling the tank with gasoline, the truck will not start. Cranks fine but does not fire. Wait a couple minutes and it fires up. Have no idea what filling the tank with fuel and non-starting has to do with each other. Anyone have an idea of where to look for the problem?

Sounds like a loose connection somewhere that gets “upset” when you fill the tank. You need a fuel pressure gauge to verify no/little pressure when it doesn’t want to start. Then old school troubleshooting will lead you to the real issue.

Thank you, I will see if that leads me to a fix!

That vintage of Chrysler products also had notorious fuel pump relay failure. There is a repair kit to fix it that bypasses the built in relay that is inside the TIPM.

Thanks for the info Don, does the repair kit need to be purchased from a dealer?

Thanks for the info, is the repair fit available only from a dealer?

Found the TIPM bypass cable on eBay and Amazon. Thanks for the help.
