I'm assuming you have had your lift and injection pumps checked? I'd bet that is the problem.

 

mine went at 40k now i have more pressure and 85k on the new one. i would say that 2-4 psi at wot is killing your IP . i know it sucks. but for a 100$ you can throw another pump in there to ad pressure. or got anopther lift pump route. fuel it the everything for the vp44`s. i know i have had less problems with an aftermarket pump on the truck.

 

if you dont like it then go get a 6.0 ford and see how you like paying for those repairs. a simple fuel pump upgrade can prevent most VP44 failures.

94-98 trucks had KDP failures that would wipe out an engine, the 04.5+ trucks had some injector issues which would grenade the motor as well...all trucks have issues. there is no flawless or prefect truck

 

My 6.0's haven't had any problems!

 

liar.. i dont believe you.. wait matchbox trucks dont count!

 

DUDE! 2 to 4! THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!! I just spent $138 and put on a Vulcan Big Line Relocation kit and my WOT PSI went from 3-4 to 10-11. From what I know, anything below 8 PSI will eventually kill your VP44....I'm sure it is too late. Look into it! I hope $138 will save you from putting on a $1200 IP. Good luck.

Call Eric at Vulcan. Nice guy.

roberts11260, you're sounding too much like a victim. There IS still such a thing as personal responsibility. So you bought a truck. Did you do due diligence in researching any potential flaws and shortcomings? Did you previously visit such forums as this one or any other of a hundred or more websites which cater to those in the market for buying new vehicles? I'll admit that I didn't come to dieseltruckresource.com until after I bought my own truck but these guys have invaluable input on how to make the admittedly lousy fuel systems much better. Glacier has a gearotor lift pump upgrade, DPP has the F.A.S.S., Vulcan offers a factory lift pump relocation kit, and there are a number of aftermarket injector pumps available should yours actually die. Does the inadequate Bosch fuel system make the ISB a bad engine? No. Does the 53 block pose a potential problem? Maybe, especially if you're hauling heavy loads up and down steep grades frequently. Are there solutions for the 53 block? Yes, lock-n-stitch welding comes to mind as well as purchasing a new block from your local Cummins (NOT Dodge) dealer and having them swap your internals. By the way, do you actually HAVE a 53 block or are you just ****** that some blocks MAY develop faults? YOU bought the truck, YOU take responsibility for that action. There's tons of information out there to help any consumer make an informed decision so buying it without knowing the potential pitfalls that may accompany that truck is no one else's fault but your own. Trade it in, buy a D-max w/6-speed Allison if you're so unhappy with your Dodge.

 

Have you tried to reset your APPS?

I don't know if I can post this here NOT being an advertiser, but here you go. And I can't say for sure that that will COMPLETELY fix your dead pedal problem, but it will cure your low PSI fuel pressures. It replaces all those stupid banjo bolts and really opens it up.

Let me know if you have any trouble putting it in.

 

Sometimes a good company like cummins makes a mistake (53 block) They should stand behind it!!! roberts11260 is taking responsibility, he is asking for some advice on how to fix his truck. Cut him a little slack nothing worse then buying a vehicle and having a few problums right away $$$$

 

Is this the only automotive forum that you have ever been to or something?

 

If you're losing a 1000 a day due to truck problems. put a proper fuel system on the truck and go make some money with it. I too use my trucks to earn money. I too get real upset when they are giving me problems and costing me to lose income.

Your low fuel pressure at WOT is your problem. I'd bet you have an injection pump timing failure code set due to it. Fix the fuel problem, replace the VP pump if needed and move on to the next problem in life.

On my last truck, a 2002, Dodge replaced two lift pumps and 1 injection pump within the first 80k miles. I got fed up with arguing with them and showing them low pressure on my gauge. I took matters in to my own hands because it was cheaper to fix the problem right myself and get back to work. I did the Vulcan kit and Holley pump and never saw less than 14psi pressure from that point on. A spare Holley pump is 100 dollars. Carry it with you. Worse case scenario, you take 15 minutes and change it in a parking lot somewhere.

All trucks have issues of one kind or another. I always found the Dodge to be best for my purposes.

 

UUUhhhhhh--- I dont think that the 01 HO's with the 6spd had the 53 Block Right????????

 

I had the Dead Pedal feeling in my 03 and it was at the same pressure you are at at WOT------Get a better Fuel System and begin to enjoy your Truck!------$1000 a Day,,,,,how many days have you been sitting that $1500 would have had you back on the road going! I'm sorry to hear about your problems but they happen to everyone at some point in there life----fix it and move on.
