Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 1689 code

[PJSPOOLS]

Yesterday I installed a new Dodge IP in my 2001 2500 with 102k. The reason I installed the pump was that on two different occasions when pulling a 7000 lbs trailer up a large hill the truck lost power and cut out momentarily. Both times when I got home the 216 code had been set, other that that the truck ran perfect and set no codes. I had driven the truck another two months with no problem ( without a trailer ) and decided with my work season coming up shortly I would change out the lift pump and the IP to avoid having a problem during my busy season. I installed the new in tank conversion from Dodge waited three weeks and yesterday I installed a new Dodge IP. Both installs went well with no problems. Today I drove the truck for the first time sence installing the IP. I was out meeting customers and had been running the truck off and on for about two hours. After meeting with a customer I got back in the truck and started it up, it ran ruff for a quarter mile and stalled. I started it back up and drove it home ten miles with no problem. When I got home the code 1689 was in the system. I cleared the coded, started the truck and went for a ten mile ride and almost didnt make it home the truck started running so ruff. When I checked again the code 1689 was back. I checked the connecter at the IP and its wires and it all looks good. Could it be a bad pump from dodge ? The pump was remanufactured by Dodge and I did not know this untill I opened the box. I called them before installing it and they said that I could not buy a new one and that was all that was available from Dodge. I paid $ 1300. 00 for the pump. Does anybody know if this is true? I could definitly use some help!!!!!!!

The fact is, Bosch remans pumps for Cummins and Cummins sells the remans to Dodge (Mopar). Bosch is not building any new pumps any more. ALL Bosch production of parts are going to reman or the Service dealer network that services them. The only new pumps that were sold was over a year ago. Did you install a new overflow fitting? We always send a new overflow fitting with our pumps. They have been a problem. You should check it on yours. Thanks, Brady

Have you had a chance to try someone elses EZ or at least talk to Edge and see if you can send it in for a factory test. It sounds like a problem I have read about in a couple of different threads.
