LOSS OF POWER WHILE ENTERING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, CAUSING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTIONS TO PREVENT COLLISIONS. FAILURE OF TRANSFER PUMP CAUSING FAILURE OF INJECTION PUMP ON NUMBEROUS OCCASIONS, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AT THE TIME OF THE LAST REPAIR THEIR WAS NO REPLACEMENT FOR TRANSFER PUMP AVAILABLE, SO AN AFTER MARKET ELECTRIC PUMP WITH PROPER FLOW RATE AMD PRESSURE WAS INSTALLED AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR OVER 1 YEAR. THE INJECTION PUMP STILL FLAGS AS BAD AND HAS LOSS OF POWER UNTIL ENGINE IS AT FULL RUNNING TEMPERTURE AND WILL EVENTUALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE FUEL AND INJECTOR PUMPS WERE REPLACED.
1. THE FIRST INCIDENT, MAY 11,2000 WAS A RECALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSFER PUMP DUE TO PREMATURE INTERNAL ARMATURE SHAFT BUSHING WEAR. THIS WAS A RECALL BY DODGE.

THE COST TO REPLACE THESE PUMPS CAN BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH DODGE TRUCKS WHICH HAVE THE CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE.*AK

THE FAILURE OF THIS PUMP IN THIS VEHICLE IS COMMON AND IS DOCUMENTED IN AN ARTICLE BY CHUCK ARNOLD "WHAT HAPPENS TO DODGES". FAILURE OF THE INJECTOR PUMP, A $2000 REPLACEMNET JOB IS COMMON WHEN THE CHARGE PUMP FAILS, I WAS LUCKY. DODGE RECALLED DEFECTIVE PUMPS INSTALLED IN ALL TRUCKS BUILT 7 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DAY MY TRUCK WAS BUILT. I FEEL I GOT ONE OF THE OLDER PUMPS FOR ONE THING AND THAT DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR THE WORK.
