my 99 24v 3500 is pretty much stock except a intake and exhaust. it has 250k. i use it for a daily work truck. i have been making my own biodiesel at home, i know i know everybody has an opionion about this but i ran the same stuff in my 12v for 2 years with no problems except the occasional fuel filter clog. when i start up it idles just fine but when i step on the throttle it starts sputtering and choking out. everybody that i know who has or knows about diesels in general just shruggs thier shoulders and says "i dunno". fuel filter is clean thought maybe the injectors were clogged. i am not a diesel dummy but am clueless on some things, this bieng one of them. please please help i need to get this truck back on the road. im having to drive my 2wd toyota and i cant haul nearly as much. thanks if you can give me some help

what is the ecm? still have the old 12v truck if i want to continue using my biofuel would i be better off with the mecanical 12v or will the new pump stand up to the biofuel?

the computer and bio diesel will not harm a vp 44 clogged fuel filters will

oh. we have kept clean ones in there but when we started looking closer the pump says remanufactured so its been replaced before so maybe got a bad one. the entire computer is screwed? crap that sux

yep sorry you will have to get it from the dealer becuase it has to be flashed for your truck

ok man thx ill let you know how it all turns out

cool glad i could help

Do you have any fault codes? I will tell you this now, I have had 5 sets of injectors come through that have used oil based bio fuel, you would only need to see the inside of one to change your opinion about using it.

if you have to buy a ecm you can buy them aftermarket and then take to dodge for flashing. I saved about $400 by ordering ecm at oreilly auto parts( mine is 99 to if they tell you they can get tell them to keep looking they sell them in clinton tn). the reason i told you this is i have a friend in pa they told him they could not get them

mine did the same exact thing and it was just the injection pump when i first got it. would idle just fine but would not rev up at all, just spit and sputtered.

Before you go throwing lots of money at this sucker, do you know for sure it is getting enough fuel flow to run? Running homebrew, there is a chance you have gunk buildup in a fuel line somewhere that is restricting it to where it can't do more than idle. Kind of like the gelling situation I got into this morning at -22F. Anyway, just a thought, Good Luck!

And by the way to quote others : "Any codes????" Codes can actually tell you a lot!

Whoa back here a little before ya go spendin a bunch a money. Back to basics. What is your fuel pressure showing on this thing both at idle and WOT. Have the EGT's changed much here lately. Have it checked for codes with a scanner, write down any they find and then have them cleared. Drive the truck for a while and have them checked again to see what comes back and this will tell the whole story if the computer is bad.

Pull the injectors and take them to a shop. Around my parts it cost me $25 to have them cleaned and pop tested at the local Bosch Service Center. Money well spent before you spend the big bux.
