Has anyone every had their injection pump leak or weap on an 2005 Ram? I am probably going to have the local dealer look at it, I am assuming that it should be covered under the engine warranty. Hopefully someone might be able to enlighten me if they have encountered a similar problem. The lower half of the injection pump is wet but does not have a destinctive smell. I found this when I crawled under the truck to service the power steering fluid as suggested by another memeber Steve.

 

if you have a warranty still, use it !

I do not have that new of a ctd, but when my fi pump was wet, the seal were bad in it.

 

I would first look for loose connections or try to trace the source of the leak. . .I havent gone into much detail with the CP3 so I dont know where or if it has a weap hole.

 

alright. . .after a little research I was a little wrong. . .the CP3 does have a weap hole about the size of lacing wire, maybe a little smaller.

its pupose is that if the cp3 shaft seal leaks on the fuel side it lets the fuel out of the pump so it does not put pressure on the seal on the oil side of the shaft. if the oil side seal would leak you would fill the oil with fuel in a hurry.

 

Had my injector pump replaced at 10000 miles. Was leaking on the underside. It was leaving puddles of diesel under my truck.

 

I read about this on another forum. Evidently it is not that uncommon. If you still have warranty then the dealer will swap it out for you. If you don't then a guy over there rebuilt one and listed o-rings needed and some instuctions.

 

My father's M/C is leaking at 24,000.... Dealer is giving him the run-around... but thankfully Frogger reccomended a different dealer (thanks again)!

 

Can anyone tell me if they change out the whole injection pump or replace the seal if its possible. The truck is going in next week and I am trying to gain some insight/knowledge before I get there.

 

05 seems really new to be leaking. I know we had 2 of our older tractors at work start leaking with the new ULSD diesel, thats one of the problems, but youd think they would have been prepared for it in 05

 

Well I picked my truck up from the dealers tonight and they have ordered a new CP3 injection pump and will be changing it out next tues. Just keeping everyone updated. I was realy surprised when they told me this. I thought for sure that they would say that it was not really leaking therefor it would be ok.
