Default Broken Dodge

Hi,

I am in desperate need of help. I have a 98 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel. It had been running pretty normal. It was driven to work and back just like any other day without any noticable signs of pooping out. The next morning, it would not start and has yet to do so. It sounds like it wants to start but does not. I have checked the normal things, and even the fuel. I have not taken it in to have it checked. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I have had my boyfriend check all he can think of, but we just have no idea what happened. Need Desperate Help!!!!! Any ideas or suggestions are encouraged.

Check your lift pump. It should put out roughly 10psi

welcome to DF...

is yours a 12v or 24v? in 98 they swapped motors over to a 24v motor. check your fuel pressure as suggested and also check your injector pump. it may be dead.
