| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 dodge truck with cummins diesel. i would like to report a incident that prompted a concern for myself and my family. as i was on vacation with my family, we were traveling to st. louis for a weekend race. while traveling up a long hill, my truck began to loose power. this grade was a two lane highway, that was moderately curvy. fuel pressure was down significantly as indicated by my added gauge. upon arrival to our destination, i replaced the factory lift pump (fuel transfer pump) and immediately noticed a large difference in power. had the truck actually died during this incident, it would have been nearly impossible to restart, thus leaving a two lane highway blocked on a hill in curves. this caused major concern as it is a high traffic area and many tractor-trailers use this busy stretch of highway. the main cause of failure for these pumps is an incorrect application as described by the pump manufacturer. diamler-chrysler is aware of the problem, but has chosen not to address the concern. thank you for your time in this matter. *nlm |
