THE DODGE 2500 AND 3500 PICKUPS EQUIPPED WITH THE CUMMINS 24 VALVE DIESEL HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WITHOUT NOTICE. THE TRUCKS INVOLVED ARE '98.5 THROUGH '02 MODELS. THESE PUMPS LAST AS SHORT AS 30,000 MILES. DODGE KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THIS CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER UN-EXPECTEDLY AND CREATE SAFETY ISSUES. IT ALSO LEADS TO A MUCH MORE CONSUMER COSTLY FIX IN THAT IF IT ISN'T REPLACED IN TIME, THE INJECTION PUMP WILL FAIL DUE TO LACK OF FUEL FLOW. THE EXCESS FUEL FLOW THA…

I PURCHASED A 2002 QUAD CAB 4X4 IN FEBRUARY 2002. FROM ABOUT THE THIRD MONTH, AND UNTIL NOW, AT TIMES THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF ITSELF, NORMALLY AT A STOP SIGH OR LIGHT. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING TO A STOP THAT IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE IN COOLER TEMPERATURE. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES FOR THIS CONDITION AND THEY SAY NOTHING AND THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY INSTALLED A VDAQ SYSTEM (THE ONLY ONE IN THIS COUNTRY) TO MONITOR THE COMPUTER AND BE MONITORED BY CHRYSLER 24…
