Would like to know how many have had a pump failure. Also would like to know your fuel setup. Stock, cat filter, lift pump added, whatever. Thanks. |

I only remember 2 folks with comments about injection pumps drharv http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=21678 and hugs http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=23090 so I don't think it's real common - but doesn't sound like Chrysler wants to deal with it as warranty |

It took about 75,000 miles for the 98 thru 02 cummins injector pumps to start failing from low fuel pressure |

Mine failed at about 10,000 miles. Complained about poor mileage, bucking, excess smoke at 1000 miles, 3000 miles and 7000 miles. Dealer said no codes-no fix. Discovered air in the system around the 6000 mile mark. Mileage/smoke never got better but bucking stopped when the air was bled off daily. A tank of cruddy fuel at 10,000 miles brought the system to it's knees. I think the long term air sucking trashed the pump. Dealer says it was the bad fuel but replaced everything under warranty. It took 3 months to get all of the parts. Mileage went up to 26-28 after the new pump. Still had to bleed air out every day. Every part from the tank pick-up to the injectors was replaced. Air problem never resolved. All stock setup. I had to pay for the tank to be drained and fuel system cleaning, $600 worth. Shell Oil denied my claim. I, nor the dealer, kept a fuel sample large enough to be tested. No fuel sample, no proof. Shell said their fuel was perfect in every way. I'll never buy a Shell product again. They can choke on their record profits. I think you need at least a qt of fuel in a clean container for a full test. Remember that if you need to a sample in the future. |

You can read about my story if you want....replaced mine at 39000 km after CAT2 micron mod. Weak pump, low micron filter, bad karma, Et Voila! $6000 in repairs. My Caliberty now gets awesome economy and has power to spare. Only good thing is that I have the failed pump and will have it rebuilt (when the tools and parts are available) for the next round. |
