My 2000 Dodge diesel 5.9 litre was Idling the other morning and i heard a thump from the engine. Now it wont start. Batteries are Ok,Heater Grid is OK, Lift pump is OK, However there is no Fuel to the Injectors. Is it possible to change out the fuel injection pump yourself? Its $3000.00 to take to shop. It has 126,000 miles on it. and Has been well taken care of.
Fuel Injector pump problems Dodge diesel!?
If you're fair with a wrench, you can do it. However, make sure the pump is actually bad before you pull it. I don't know how MOPAR drives their pumps, but check that before you take it apart.

I would get on one of the cummins-dodge truck websites. Certain years and models had similar issues to one another. I have only heard about killer dowel pin syndrome, and failed lift pump problems. (causes injection pump failure because of lack of fuel from lift pump.) I've had only dodge gas trucks and they have taken a beating well.
