Hello From Nc
I am new here and also new to diesels. I have a 99 ram 2500 2wd. Only mods are a super chips flashpaq and removed the cat and factory muffler. Oh and a semi built trans because the factory trans went out shortly after buying it.
I have 2 small problems with my truck.
1) It leaks a little fuel from what appears the bottom of the injection pump when its idleing. I think this is the cause of my problem, but dont know what to look for. The problem is if I park the truck faced uphill for any length of time (overnight) its hard to start. Park faced down hill it starts right up.
What could this be? It also seems that when you hit WOT it sorta lays down on me. The throttle response if great and has tons of power, but if you floor it, it just sorta flattens out.
2) My dome light wont turn off. I have already replaced the headlight switch. I can hear a relay turning off after about 20 seconds and the light dims slightly but it stays on. Any ideas on this?
By the way I would like to thank everyone here for all the info thats available. I have been lurking on this sight just reading the forums and there is no shortage of good info.

BTW,....post your truck problems up in the 2nd Gen Engine and Drivetrain Section and you will get more responses there. Take care.
