2004 Dodge RAM 3500 Fuel system Problems

“Truck currently has 76,000 miles. Replaced all 4 ball joints at the same time, fewer than 40k. Had to replace an injector around the same time. Filters Dodge came out with were too large, letting junk into the injectors. Not ong after that, we were driving and lost power. Pulled to side of road, saw belts hanging down. Popped the hood and the pulley(?) the belts attach to had snapped off! Fortunately, we were on a county road, driving slowly. Then, at 76k, the front left wheel locked up, causing us to have to replace the entire front axle system. …”

“Driving my diesel, 1 ton, 2004, 4x4 truck with 66,000 miles, turning left across traffic into a business. Engine stops, no brakes, no steering, no warning, nothing. Never had a problem with this truck before this event. Traffic is coming at us and I am headed into a ditch as I cannot turn vehicle. Frantically trying to get vehicle started, will not start, but able to roll forward and make it into business barely missing ditch. People come out to help push vehicle into safe spot. Called tow truck, they get there about 1.5 hours later. …”

“I have a 2004 Dodge RAM 3500. I have had 4 #2 injection lines break on it since 10 nov 2009. I have called both Dodge and cummins on the issue. Cummins said to call Dodge, and Dodge said it was noted and they would look into it. The problem that I have with it is that when it breaks it sprays desiel fuel onto the turbo charger. That reches temperatures that exceed the lower flamability rate of desiel fuel. But lucklily it has not caught fire yet. But 4 lines in six months seems to be excessive. I have seen a trend while trying to locate the part. …”

“We have had a fuel problem issue with this truck since april of 2005 it bucks so hard it bruises you. We have replace everything possible and it still happens. They say it is water in fuel but it is not that. We have had several high pressure injector lines break. One caused a fire, diesel was going everywhere. We had several break after that. They have no clue why these injectors are breaking but we owe to much to trade in. It is just ashamed that you can not go anywhere safe in a 42,000 truck. We have stressed our concerns with Dodge they said not there problem .”

“I purchased my truck in may 2006, since I bought the truck it has had a vibration on start ie from stop when I start moving the truck has a vibration. I am now on the third rear drive shaft assembly in my truck at 65k miles. Also have had to replace a blown front hub that separated at 60k miles with no previous problems or warning. Have had over 3k worth of electrical work done at dealership including PCM, wiring harness, FCA, injection pump and so forth and so on. Still have tons of electrical issues with truck. And now at 66k miles the fuel sending unit has gone out for the second time.”
