04 died with no prior symptoms

[RShill]

My mostly stock 04 quit on the road. I'm assuming the fuel liftpump quit: 90k miles, and I can't hear the pump run when I turn the ignition on. Is this an accurate assumption? If so, is there an article describing replacment?

The temp is cool but its never had trouble at 0 F.

The fuel should be fine, Im' half way thru a fiill-up





I couldn't find this in FAQs-am I an Idiot?

I'm thinking that if you can hear the pump run then it should be OK. It's the motor that dies. Are you sure it's the fuel pump you hear and not a vacuum pump (assuming it an automatic)?

I can't hear the pump run. Its a 6 speed manual

If you have the stock canister mount pump it has probably failed. The dealer will replace it with a in tank pump . You should be covered under the 100k engine warranty and don't pay the 50. 00 or Geno's has a replacement unit

I bought truck used. How can I determine if pump is stock?

Look at the back side of the fuel filter canister (side towards firewall) and you'll see it mounted there. You should be able to follow the sound to find it as well. It looks like this: REPLACEMENT FUEL TRANSFER PUMP ('03-'04. 5)-Dodge Cummins Diesel Truck Accessories – Geno’s Garage
