2004 Dodge 2500 2 wd, started to loose power on the interstate, when check engine light came on. Limped to Auto Zone and had code read. Showed bad batteries. I replaced them with new ones. Still has problems when accelerating. I have to push peddle slowly or it will not go faster. I am changing the fuel filter tomorrow. Do I fill with diesel before I replace the filter cap or will it fill when I start up?

Just turn the key onb for 30 sec. then off then on again for 30 sec you should hear the pump shut off . Should be good to go

If you turn the key on and JUST TAP the starter but don't start it, the fuel pump will run for a minute or more and purge the filter housing. If you DRAIN out the housing then do the starter tap a few times to make sure it is purged. Did Autozone CLEAR the codes after you changed the batteries? Did they check for proper charging rate?

2004 Dodge 2500 Diesel, Fuel filter issue

If you turn the key on and JUST TAP the starter but don't start it, the fuel pump will run for a minute or more and purge the filter housing.

Thank you Motorhead. I replaced the fuel filter, let fuel pump work and was good to go. Autozone didn't clear the code. I replaced the batteries with new ones and no more check engine light. My power is back and no know issues at this time. I thank this Forum for the help.
