I have a 1999 Dodge truck with cummins diesel. I would like to report a incident that prompted a concern for myself and my family. As I was on vacation with my family, we were traveling to St. Louis for a weekend race. While traveling up a long hill, my truck began to loose power. This grade was a two lane highway, that was moderately curvy. Fuel pressure was down significantly as indicated by my added gauge. Upon arrival to our destination, I replaced the factory lift pump (fuel transfer pump) and immediately noticed a large difference in power. Had the truck actually died during this incident, it would have been nearly impossible to restart, thus leaving a two lane highway blocked on a hill in curves. This caused major concern as it is a high traffic area and many tractor-trailers use this busy stretch of highway. The main cause of failure for these pumps is an incorrect application as described by the pump manufacturer. Diamler-Chrysler is aware of the problem, but has chosen not to address the concern. Thank you for your time in this matter.

Informed by other cummins diesel owners, and Chrysler technition, that pump failure is not a question of if, but a matter of time. Owners have to install extra guages & equip to monitor a manufacturers weak link, at no small expense.
