I got a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500, automatic 24 valves 5.9l Cummins Diesel turbo
This is what it is doing.

After driving for at least an hour at 65-80Mph I get this.

"Going along just fine- burrrrrrrrrrr __________ at this point it is losing power,the passing came on and stay there and does not shift at all they in second gear , no accelerator action nothing, slowing down to 55mph now.let got the fuel pedal ,after few second it come back fine for a few mille if does not come back normal put the transmision in neutral and stop the engine and restard again it fine again for few milles again etc etc ..and then it comes back to life. 5 minutes later the same thing.

No problems starting, ever
Starts all the time first crank.
Replaced the fuel filter, black slimed. (Diesel Bugs?)
replace fuel pump and try another engine computer




Anyone can tell me what this might be?
cant someone help
let me no

thanks you

 

Welcome to the site, you'll find a lot of knowlege here.

First thing, check the fuel filter again and treat the tank for algae, as that's what the black slime is.

You say you did replace the lift pump, or are you asking if you should?
Lift pump dying will result in those symptoms,
dying lift pump will also shorten the life of the injection pump (VP44).

On a 2002, you can check for engine codes using this method:

Turn key to on (do not start, just "on"),
turn key off,
turn key on,
turn key off,
turn key on and watch the odometer window.

Codes will flash in there, P ECU followed by the P code, P PCU, folowed by a P code, then P Done, meaning it is done.
Codes will be like a P 0500, P 0215, P 1693, etc.

Try this and report back.

I'll bet you have a code 0216 when you check them.

I've had the same experience with my truck.

 

MY buddy has an 02 and just took his truck in yesterday....same symptoms plus white smoke. Codes were - 0230 (Lift pump), 0216 (Injector pump), and 1693 (companion code)....both new pumps are going in today.

 

yes i change the fuel injection pump ,fuel transfer (lift)pump ,ECM and computer and still do the same thing and i cant you tell me are to get the code .
thanks

 

I think this is what you asked?

Your truck might still be covered under warrenty. My 2002 is covered by a 3 yr 36k miles as it is an early 2002. I bought the truck with 9.1 K miles on it so I got the extended warrenty.

BUT, I think the later 2002, mfg after June, or July, have a 7 yr 70 K warrenty. Check vin for mfg date. Let us know the good news/bad news.

Yes i check and my code is with the key on off is p 0500 and p 1693

tell me want to do pleaze

thank you!

 

Is that the only code you have??

If so, its not engine related - it has to do with the abs system....either youve spun the wheels or there is problems with the sensor on top of the diff housing. Disconnect the batteries again and it should go away....might even go away after a number of engine starts.

 

yes i have another code is p 0216 tell me are to fix this.<<thank you

 

and i really done i change the injectorl pomp put a second hand and it was running fine in the truck why my is give me that code i dont no if cant i flash the ecm computer tell me

 

0216 is injection pump timing failure. It's the death code of the VP pump.

When I got the code, mine needed a new injection pump.
