Found the problem, it was a bad ground, it works now thank You for your help

I tried bumping the starter, still there's no power to the pump relay.

I bought a new Airtex fuel pump for my 01 ram 3500 diesel, it still had the factory pump on the block, the new pump came with a plug that plugs right into the same place that the factory pump does, I wired the new pump so that the power to the pump is fed through a relay, the relay is energized...

The original problems started in 04, but I've never let the gauge get down to 1/4, because I suspected the dealer didn't change the sending unit. But recently the truck has been acting sluggish, and showing over boost codes. So I took it to a shop and they said the waste gate is seized

The in tank fuel pump MOD didn't, Come out until 2005 so when they replaced the factory fuel pump they put it right back on the engine block ,And this whole time I had no idea .The truck just turn over a 100000 miles ,And it's been a great truck until recently ,I don't ever have to work on it...

I have other posts on here regarding turbo waste gate, fuel pressure, 1/4 tank run out of fuel issues on my 2001 ram 3500 cummins, in 2004 I ran out of fuel on 1/4 of a tank, the factory tried to tell me I ran it empty and the fuel gauge said so, I said bull malarky, the gauge read a needle over...

I have an 01 ram 3500 diesel, I have installed ISSPRO fuel pressure, exaust temp, turbo boost and transmission temp guages, now im installing a AIRTEX E7153 lift pump on the frame, My question is, where do I get the power for the pump? I thought the truck had the intake fuel pump mod, but it doesnt...

I noticed ISSPRO uses almost all electric sending units, that's fine, but some people trust gauges that use vacuum lines and fuel liner instead of all electrical. ISSPRO gauges look nice.

thats what I found, they may be a lower end gauge, not much information. Auto meter is touted as the best, and with that, a higher price tag. almost twice as much on the price. When it comes to accuracy you dont want to trust your vital equipment to a cheapy weapy gauge.

does anyone know if the Max Tow double vision gauges are any good?

Thank you, I live in Preston Idaho, I don't know much about Cummings Diesel engines, or any Diesel engines for that matter. I will get those gauges and go from there.

What fuel pressure should it have at idle? The fuel pump is in the tank so sounds like I'll be changing the fuel pump any recommendations on a new pump ? Ive been thinking about getting a sump set up to put in the bottom of the tank, any recommendations there ?

The shop is saying that the waste gate is seized closed, that why I get the over boost code, which is de-rating the power. They ran a test on the fuel pressures they said there's 5 pounds after the fuel filter, the mechanic says that's enough..?

the turbos waste gate on My factory stock 01 ram Diesel 3500 with an auto transmission, is seized, or so the shop says. The truck has 112000 original miles, so it has sat around, the truck starts and accelerates smoothly, but when climbing hills, it looses power. The shop has checked the fuel system...

Yes the truck is a dually, the only way to go if your pulling a trailer. There are lots of stuff to learn, but its nice. We are still going to upgrade the fuel system in the 01 ram 3500, and some gauges.
