Archived Dead lift pump?

[FAL]

Own a 98. 5 24V Cummins.

Have just changed out fuel filter and doesn't want to prime.



I have opened test test port on the fuel cannister lid and have bumped the starter several times. Can hear the lift pump running when I do this. Finally tried opening the banjo bolt on the input

side of the lid... no fuel coming out when I bump the starter.



Is it safe to assume my lift pump is a goner?



Thanks,

Fred

Sounds like the lift pump is gone. Buy your replacement from Cummins unless it is under warranty, will save $$$.

I Agree w/ Larry....

That is exactly what mine did as well. The first time I changed the filter, it took about twenty "bumps" to finally get it started. I should have measured it then. It would have saved me the towing cost when I changed the filter the second time.

Thanks guys,



Only have 80K on truck so will call a dealer or two in the A. M.



Hope they don't give me too much grief.



And all this time I've been worried about losing 5th gear!

Final on lift pump --



Dealer replaced @ no charge. They squeezed me in even though they were extremely busy. Kudos to Todd (service manager) and Timberline Dodge... good guys!
