PackerMenges Report post Posted December 30, 2013 I need some help. This is kind of a shot in the dark but I figured it might be worth that shot. The CWT community is one of the best, if not the best online communities. I am hoping one of you fellow hunters might have some advice for me. I have a 2003.5 dodge 2500 diesel. It started to choke down on me the other day (push accelerator, nothing much happening). I limped it home and figured it might be the fuel filter. Changed that out and now it isn't starting. I am not much of a mechanic, at all. I drained the line, changed the filter, primed it best I have been told but to no avail. Probably either air in the lines, the lift pump is bad or worst case my injectors are failing. Before I went to a diesel forum, or called the tow truck I thought I would take a chance and see if any of you might have some idea of troubleshooting this. Or better yet, if you know someone trustworthy I could get ahold of to come take a look at it. I am located up in north Tucson/Marana area. I really appreciate it and thanks a ton for taking the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaffer62 Report post Posted December 30, 2013 I am thinking the injectors may need to be rebuilt or replaced. I have known a couple of people that needed those replaced. I dont know of a diesel tech down there though.. If you were in Phx, i could set you up. Sorry and good luck to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucafu1 Report post Posted December 31, 2013 was there fuel in the filter bowl? if i remember right the lift pumps on those are known for going up. i did a conversion on one where a pump goes in the tank if i remember correctly. its been a long time since i did it.
