fuel pump
My truck was hard to crank today and the service lightcame on for the first time,and when I was at a light it wouldcome close tostalling,andwhen I would take off i didn'thave much power.Do you think it could be the fuel pump or could it be the throttle body needs cleaning? thanks for the help
How many miles on it? Do you often run it VERY low on fuel before you refill? If the mileage is fairly high and you do "run it on fumes", the pump may be bad. They last a long time, though. Your mention of throttle body is probably valid. Way easier and cheaper than a fuel pump.
wat was the code???
fuel pump is either working or not. and after pulling mine, im not buying the low fuel= pump not getting cooled theory. there is a "baffle" that rises and falls around the pump were gas is sucked into. even when you pull the pump out, its still completly sumberged in gas within this baffle. makes for a messy job too. not sayin your wrong on that mikehtally, just not convinced on our rams that the pump is left high and dry when fuel gets low.
deffinatly clean anything in the air tract first, like was said, cheaper and first step in figurin out wat the prob is. oh AFTER you tell us the dtc
