    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    Two small updates : 1. I submitted my information to RamCare - trying to detail as much as possible to them about 5 days ago. Tuesday morning I received two replies stating that they opened up a claim case and are investigating the dealership I took my truck to. I basically told them I just...

    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    So, I've been reading around here and several other forums, and in all honesty it really sounds like I may have a delaminated tone ring. That is going to *seriously* piss me off because the dealer carpet bombed a repair that had nothing to do with anything I experienced. From what I understand...

    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    You know, that's what I thought too. My original one did, my new one doesn't. This is after they changed the PDC too which if I'm not mistaken includes the integrated fuel pump relay. I wrote FCA yesterday and informed them of the practices of said dealership and what I've doled out so far, and...

    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    107k - right about where the failure interval is. When I brought it in there, I requested that they run my VIN against the recall database, and do a history on what's been done on this truck since I recently purchased it. According to them all recall work was done aside from the upcoming HP Fuel...

    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    Doesn't that typically throw you a crank position sensor code?

    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    I'll be cracking open the the drain and the line heading towards the HP Fuel pump, and anywhere else down the circuit systematically to ensure flow. They were adamant that I have a clog somewhere. I was adamant that the day it died, I drove it to work perfectly fine at highway speeds with no...

    Does your lift pump make a noise?

    My truck went in back in December, some of you may have seen that thread. I took it in because I no longer heard the electric pump or what I thought was the electric pump in the back make what I thought was typical electric pump noises. I thought I had a fuel delivery issue. It'd crank like a...

    2016 ram 1500 crank but no start

    Can't wait to hear how this one turns out - mine's in the driveway with a similar issue after dropping 5,400 on both pumps, the fuel filter housing/heater/filter, the TIPM, and battery. It'll crank all day long til I key it off, but no pop-off. Did I mention I just made the 4th payment on this...

    R.I.P. EcoDiesel / NEVER EV

    I'd like to see that - what's the timeframe of that going national?

    R.I.P. EcoDiesel / NEVER EV

    Next year's model is getting the Straight-6 Hurricane engine. In all honesty, it's a smart move. Thanks to the EPA clearly proving it has no clue how diesel engines work, the diesel engine's days are numbered being deliberately poisoned with EGR valves. I bought mine back in September, and in...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Latest update : I cannot get the dealership to confirm or deny power to the pump - they seemingly ignore me telling them that I had removed the fuel pump relay bypass wire before it was sent over there (something I specifically, and repeatedly told them so they can find the fault and fix that as...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Small update : The fuel pump, filter housing, and filter were changed to the tune of $3,000+ dollars. They told me just before New Years that it didn't solve the problem. They have yet to confirm if power is even getting to the pump since I took off the fuel pump relay bypass before taking it...

    Engine failure

    I think it was another thread on these forums, but it was confirmed that GM owns 50% of VM Motari, and their logo was on the oil caps. The 2.8L Duramax is their collab engine too. The thing I find a little strange is these engines on the other side of the pond supposedly don't have the multitude...

    Engine failure

    The failure is generally caused by the EGR system sending soot down the intake, which will eventually clog up the runners, work its way down to the cylinders, score the walls, get down into your oil pan, clog up the main bearings, and seize up the engine. This is what happens when idiots with...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    I damn-near had a heart-attack just now. I finally received word from the dealer about what's going on with my truck - they've had it for 2 weeks now. This is what they dropped on me : Our technician was able to identify the concerns with your check engine light. We were able to duplicate the...

    FCA. HPFP RECALL

    I was told 5 month backorder on the parts - mine's in for something else so I told them to just add me to the list.

    CamShaft failure related to Bosch CP4 fuel pump failure????

    I was told at the dealer today that the HPFP is part of a newly issued recall this year - may want to inquire about that before they stick you for 18-hundo. From what they told me, the parts are a 5-month backorder though so it might be a while.

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    As coincidence would have it, there was - recently issued but it's for the cam-driven high pressure pump. There's a 5 month backorder on it, but I told them to put me on the list. Truck's at the dealer now - they can't get into it for 3-4 days due to the backlog, but I made friends with the new...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    Update : Well, I built the bypass harness yesterday and ran out to my truck at my shop this morning. Popped the cable on, still no fuel pump whine. Twist the key and it has a runaway crank as usual until I key it off (what I mean by this is I turn the key to start and let go so its in 'run' but...

    I've had it 2 months, and it left me stranded today...

    ...so now after seeing this video a few times I've realized the TIPM on my 16 is laid out differently than this. I've written the creator of the video to ask if they are aware of this or if there's updated info for the later models. This absolutely sounds like the problem I've experienced twice now.
