My brother has a 05 3500 with the Cummins. With key on engine not running there it a ticking noice at the engine. Anyone know what that could be?

 

I might be right, or just about right, if I am wrong I know someone will let us know! I believe it is the glow plugs, ignition on triggers them to start, both my 03 and 05 do it

 

Uuuuhhhh they dont have glow plugs.
Its probably the fuel pump

 

GLOW PLUGS?????

What is a glow plug??? We In Cummins land have a grid heater. LMAO!!!

Yup! Most likely the fuel pump filling the fuel filter canister.

hey yall, I just saw my lil brothers post, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, I explained to him the difference this morning and tried to find a rubber mallet , but not able to, sorry for the rather ridiculous statement, but hey it was pretty funny huh?

 

it is the fuel pump.

 

I thought the lift pump was in the fuel tank.

 

It is in the fuel tank.

 

!LMAO!

Maybe it's the turn signal

 

PurNLoud,

Take your brother out and unbolt your grid heater to show him what we are talking about. Nothing like a hands on experience to teach him!!

Mrschendel,

Sorry if we came off harsh!!! Stupid questions are the norm here(usually by me!!! LOL!!)

Thanks for asking as it gave us all a good laugh!

Now go take your intake apart disconnect the battery leads first, and see what we are talking about!! Then you may understand what makes the Cummins is superior in cold weather starting!!! 10 minutes will give you the idea of what makes these things tick.

Should you need my help anytime let me know!!!! I'm the stupid queation guy!! LOL!!

Could be the vacume pump behind the Passengar Battery

 

Will have to check
