2002 Ram 2500 24v 68,000 miles

Have been getting that famous "loss of power" so I did a code read. Of course it would have to be the P2016 code. I did the fuel pressure check, saw the loss of fuel pressure when the loss of power occurs. I know it is the injector pump or lifter pump or with my luck both.

Keep in mind that this truck is bone stock, no mods period.

The dealer does his diag. and comes up with the kiniption that it has to be a bad sensor, and that since the truck is a Canadian truck now living in the USA there is no waranty period. For anything.

Is this correct? I bought the truck in the US, the dealer I got it from got it at one of them auto auction places.

 

First, you are correct - to my knowledge the warranty will be void if the truck has left Canada. My brother lives in the U.S. and has researched this extensively.....Canadian warranties are not normally honored in the U.S.

The P0216 is: Fuel Injection Pump Timing Failure

Im curious - what kind of fuel pressure is your lift pump delivering??

 

That's pretty low. My truck was purchased in the US and they honored it up here. Of course, it's been a while since it was under warranty considering I went over 100,000 a couple of years ago.

 

This time of the year at least a 1/4 of the canadian population lives in southern Arizona and I have yet to hear of anything like this. I've worked on dozens of canadian vehicles with no probs and I am familiar with the "canadian conversions" as I have a couple of customers with canadian builds with "US" gauges. You may give customer service a call and get there opinion on this. You stated that you have "68000 miles" I'm assuming this is Kilometers, or has your truck been changed over to miles.
