Dan, Interesting comment about 12 valves. The dealer's diesel mechanic said he could do anything with the 12 valve engines, but was a parts swapper with the 24 valve engines. AKoperdak, The odd thing with my failure is everything is stock. I could understand this if I had bombed the...

Hi Bob, Yes, I think you are right. Anything like a pusher or a replacement LP will probably void the warranty. I will certainly replace the LP with something else after 100K miles. Am going to ask the dealer on Monday if it will void the warranty. If they say no, then I will ask for it in...

JyRO, I hear you on the expense part. I hadn't planned on buying gages right now. I also agree with jzaremski that I shouldn't have to worry about the LP. However, now that I know what I know, it would be dumb of me not to put gages on the truck. Hopefully the dealer does not think this is...

Hi Bob, Thanks for the welcome! However, Gary is right, I was and probably still am steamed over this whole thing. Has nothing to do with the TDR, more as an informational chalk another one up to the lift pump failures. Fortunately the dealer is doing their part. However, I was not...

Snowman, Thanks for the info. I am learning a lot from this experience. I just want to get my '01 back to being a reliable ride again. Looks like a pusher pump will be in my future too. Gages are already on the way. Figured I may as well get an EGT and a boost gage while I am at it...

Hi Gary, This is in response to your earlier post. I know the intention of the reply may not equate to the words written. However, since we don't know each other, you have done a splendid job of alienating me from the get go. --->"It's largely a matter of DEALING with KNOWN problems!"...

Well I am not a happy camper! My 2001 HO has only 31,000 miles on it. The lift pump failed followed shortly by the injector pump. The local dealer ordered the pumps, so waiting. New 24 valve engines are certainly not as reliable as my old 1996 12 valve engine. It had no problems in over...

I used Delo 400 15W-40 and MoPar filters in my '96. I racked up 145,000 on it before I sold it and bought a '01 HO 6 speed. I changed oil at 150 miles and started the HO on Delo 400 15W-40 and Fleetguard LF3894. Due for a change right now with 3,700 on it.
