Having it scanned is the first step.

Good Luck.

sucks man ive been there and so have most of the 24V guys on here , This is Why we tell all new 24V guys you must have a Fuel Pressure gauge before you do any other mods ! , the LP dies and you dont know it until the VP44 dies from pulling double time pulling its own fuel

All 24V cummins must have a fuel pressure gauge no exceptions !

I have the 2001 dodge. I notice on mine, I have the warning light for low fuel pressure, if I floor the truck the light flashes but only when cold out, could this be simply the fact that the diesel fuel is cold and harder to move?
