As for re-call possibly i did post the s# and pump date# my dodge only has approximately 135k on it yrs back i had to let my car go and the truck was my ride. i cant get financing for nothing as the fixed income really suck, and things happened to destroy my credit (medical bills) for the most part. THANK YOU GUYS REALLY YOU ARE THE BEST

Good news your injection pump is covered under the recall 605, incomplete means never done and no infinity on data plate then you qualify for factory reman pump at no charge.

BigIron70

Recalls never expire and they are required by law to repair your vehicle. Reman pumps are still available

Good to know. Most of the Chrysler dealers in the Harrisburg area are crooks and I have no doubt that they would lie about something like this. They probably lied to me about the Jeep recall because they weren't going to make any money on it. The recall was to fix a heat soak vapor lock issue on the #3 injector by zip tying a piece of insulated cardboard around it as a makeshift heat shield.

I also wouldn't trust any dealer within a 100 mile radius to actually replace the IP on a VE engine correctly. If I had to do it I'd tow the truck into the dealer, let them "fix" the recall and tow the truck to someone that I know is competent to check/fix their work.

If/when the dealership jerks the OP around about the recall what is his best remedy? Chrysler corporate or some Govt. agency?

That is great news! Carefully put the IP back together and get it down for a new injection pump.

ofelas

Indeed.

Michael, get that truck to the nearest Dodge dealer ASAP.

They should have a barring tool, if not, 22mm socket and a breaker bar, wedge the handle on the frame rail & bump her. Show 'em how its done.

Keep us posted, hopefully a good resolution, if not, we can revisit your free VE, the offer is still on the table.

MrFusion

Big thanks to Big Iron70! I was unaware of this recall. I'm going to check my IP as soon as it quits raining. This info should probably go in the Sticky.

Anyone can read recall here
Recall #605 Diesel Fuel Injection Pump

bigragu

Yeah, thanks, BI70. I actually called my local Dodge dealer, two days ago, on the pump in this second dodge I just got. Girl at the service dept. asks for the mileage currently on the vehicle, and the last 8 numbers and letters of the vin. Pump was replaced in 1994, she says.
I was kinda wondering, as the pump had no black paint or remnants of paint on it. It was actually the cleanest and shiniest piece in the whole engine compartment.

bigragu

BI70, you say remans. So this recall, doesn't necessarily mean your getting a like for like Bosch unit? Can they slap on an A1 Cardone on there?

All Ram will do is find a pump threw their supplier. It'll most likely be a reman pump. If they try to give you the run around about not being able to get the recall parts tell them to F-off and write you a check for the loss. That check will cover a good reman pump from a good shop. Don't back down at all about demanding the check. It's a federal law they must comply with.

BUT first and foremost, does your pump have the infinity symbol!?

bigragu

Think I'm going to check anyway, and not take her word for it. I'll probably most likely be wrong, as I mentioned, that pump shows no factory black paint.

Now dodge #1, I have no clue. Will check on that for sure in the am

Michael Lu'Bow

thank you all, they have honored the recall so far. an appointment has been made for my truck. i shell keep this open tell it is repaired my chrysler. so you shell know that it has been done.

MrFusion

Cool man! Hope they get it fixed. My truck has a build date 3/92 on the cab sticker. I looked my pump over as best as I could. I saw no infinity stamp but the date code on mine is 184 if I'm reading the correct number on the tag. Fortunately(?) not part of the recall.

edwinsmith

I'm just guessing but the black paint is likely a Cummins or Dodge job when the engine including the Inj pump were new and everything was sprayed black. This doesn't mean that a new VE inj pump from Bosch would be painted or even that one from Cummins or Dodge was painted. Given that it was replaced in 1994 I doubt very much if you got a reman pump.

Just my $0.02 worth. I could be wrong and I frequently am.
