Lets hope the diesel gremlin goes away forever...

 

yea i hope but i aint taking no chances the truck has been a money hog. id like to get another dodge preferably a clubcab with less miles.but cant afford one so im stuck fixing the one i got.

 

I had the same thing happen to me this weekend it got 2 here, and I thought the fuel was geling on me. It didnt miss all the time just sometimes missed bad when it did. Well it wasnt gel up. Well then I changed the fuel filter blead the whole system. it started ran good for about a min then died. it was getting are in the system. so after putting a new lift pump on and thinking it was the gel up. it was just the fuel heater. but the lift pump wasnt working as good as it should have been though. So I just bypassed the fuel heater. I found out that alot of people do that cause you can run into problems with it on there like I did. so if you still have it on there bypass it

 

well i didnt have time to check it this weekend but i hauled some coal and pulled a ford dumptruck and drove75 80 mph up uphill on a freeway with no problems she ran perfect. but i think im having tranny problems now so i can never win

 

well the shaking back this time much worse it about threw me through the windshield today. i think its definitly a fuel problem,i got new fuel lines from the tank to the fuel filter and the lift pump, but when i went to take the fuel heater bowl off to check the strainer in it , it was stuck tight i rounded the bolt off.but for some reason i was messing around and was pushing the primer button on the lift pump and heard air coming from the side of the injector pump facing the motor is this normal?????
