Need Help

Not sure but I think I just had my first faliure of a lift pump. Changed my fuel filter in my 99 and now I cannot purge the air from the filter. The transfer pump makes a hum if you listen close, but does not move any fuel

Are you bumping the starter? It will not run unless you do.

 

[lcarson0433]

yes, and I can hear the pump running, but no fuel is lifted to the filter

 

[chuck3]

Thats not good, It may be a goner. sorry.

 

[lcarson0433]

That was what I thought but just wanted another confermation, any idea how much these things cost, and are they dodge only parts

 

[chuck3]

It will be covered under warranty. If the dealer gives you trouble try a another if they are more around. You can buy them from Cummins for around 130 to 150 bucks I believe. The dealers want double that. Good luck and by the way welcome to the TDR.

chuck.

Thanks for your help, I have been a member for a couple of years, just got around to signing on the site, is there a limit on the mileage for the pump that you know of, mine only has 73,000 miles on it.

 

[chuck3]

Its under the cummins warranty of 5 years or 100k miles.
