new truck questions
hey guys im new to diesels i have a 99 ram with a 24v cummins the guy i got it from told me i needed to fill up at half a tank and im looking for some insight as to how i can check and or fix this issue it had an airdog 150 on it as well any info would be great
Thanks guys!! |
Welcome! What you probably have is a draw straw that was not installed right. The fix to this is empty the tank and put in a longer draw straw. When you do this, make sure that the tank is supported in its normal position, either by lifting the bed or removing the tank completely and placing it on sawhorses, then cutting the draw straw.
What you have is called the 1/4 tank issue. |
How many gallons does it take to fill it at 1/2 tank? It could be that the fuel level sender in the tank is bad. If it is the level sender you will have to replace the whole tank module (Modified fuel module) or fix your current one. My gauge reads 1/2 tank when its empty too.

only true way to tell is to get the holes pinned.
you can tell if they are aftermarket performance or not by driving it without electonic power adders... |

bone stock truck without a programmer or injectors can barely get out of it's own way...
truck with injectors is pretty peppy and tends to roll out a little smoke if you mash on the skinny pedal... (depending on size of the injectors) and boost will be higher than what a stock truck can do... :pca1: |
