HELP 99 Ram Stuck on the side of the freeway.
 
Help. First time towing anything.... Have car trailer and ranger on it. I towed good... Not very much smoke except initial take off. Stoped to eat then went to leave and when go on freeway truck started sputtering and white smoke. No dummy lights. No warning lights. Ran like garbage then died. Tried draining water just in case but nothing. Just cranks. Has holley black LP but dunno how old. It primes for a second at ignit on. Help. I am stuck over 100 mile from home (117 mile south of cleveland on rt 71). Save us :(

Do you have fuel pressure?

Cycle the key on/off (I usually dont recommend this but I doubt you have a code reader with you).

Dont want to alarm you but white smoke "can" be your Injector pump going.

You need to make sure you have fuel getting to the injection pump. Crack the line right after the fuel filter and try to start the truck. For your sake in doing this I hope you have no fuel getting there. If it makes a big fuel mess it sound like an IP.

Check your Fuel Filter

Tried running the lp by cycle key. The pump runs for a second but not continuous. It starts after like ten runs for a couple then runs a second off a few on a second. Manual says it should run for twenty five after doing water drain. Any ideas?

Diesel Dawgs Performance 07-07-2009 10:13 PM

Bump the starter.... The Pump should run for several seconds. Any codes?

Can fuel filter be checked without tools. We are lacking them.

Fortunatley I have a good best friend and he is sending his slideback for me. But still not out of woods with truck. Sigh. 11000$ investment is broke THAT sux

If you have a pair of pliers you can get the fuel filter out. Check the filter because im almost 99% sure this is your problem.

hoping its fuel problems before the pump do you have pressure with the line cracked

DieselWeasel 07-07-2009 10:22 PM

Right now I don't have any tools to crack line. Will have to check that tomorrow.
