I cannot help but think there is an adapter somewhere that could be available. Problem is it may not be designated as such. If I had a plastic one to compare I would think a trip to a Parkler distributor could net something to work..But that would take as much time as ordering a new one.

 

That is part of the problem too. They are not really available new. Maybe through Dodge but I'm sure that'll cost an arm and a leg. I only found one at a junkyard and it was in FL but they would not take my debit/credit card over the phone. HeyYou had one from a manifold he had bought and sent to me, but it is leaking. I was hoping to be able to fix the leak but it does not seem like that is going to be possible or a good idea.

 

Where is it leaking?

 

On the front of the fuel rail on the driver side. Its like a small mist is coming out. Maybe a small pin size hole. At first I thought it wasn't sitting on the injector right but you can clearly see it's coming out of the fuel rail.

 

JB Weld might fix it. even better chance it you could wrap it all the way around the tube. jbweld is heavy and sags off when curing. one way to get it all the way around is to rig up a sort of cradle out of duct tape, or other type of wrap around it while curing.

be very careful with leaking fuel. you're on the ragged edge of an out of control fire.

 

That't what I am afraid of. I don't like doing things half ***. My buddy's dad has a pretty good size snow plow company and has a 98 dodge ram 2500 that he uses as one of his trucks. He goes to a mechanic in the area that does all the work on it. The mechanic has a dodge ram too. I'm going to call him tomorrow and see what he says. If worse comes to worse I'll have the truck towed to him and let him install a new fuel system. I really do not want to have to spend the extra money especially on a truck that has 150000 miles but I don't want to do something that can destroy it.

 

I tried sealing the hole on the fuel rail but it did not work. I contacted Dodge and they want $410 for a new rail and then $11 for each clip. I am going to have to keep contact junk yards I guess. $410 for a fuel rail is just nuts. Especially a plastic one.

 

Ask them if that includes a hooker, because at that price it should.

 

You need the clips as well?? The ones on the original fuel rail broke?

Check with these guys. See if they can't help ya out.

 

I know right? That price should at least include a happy ending.


The clips are fine. Dodge just said I needed them... Typical dealership

I've contacted them. They did not have anything.
