| 2003 dodge cummins ho pickup, i have a new truck that has an injector that sticks. it has stuck wide open 4 times, closed two times and partially open many times. when it sticks wide open the knock can be heard through a vehicle window with air & radio running. the safety issue is a black cloud of smoke that is so thick that the sun and road cannot be seen. on interstate 90 i stopped all traffic east & west when it happened. my wife was following me on the way home from kellogg id to ellensburg wa. cummins agrees with me that i have a faulty injector; however failure does not set any codes in the computer. consequently dodge will not fix it. i have had it in the shop 3 times and have a clean bill of health because they cannot replicate the problem and the trucks computer does not record the incidents. i am running with two temperature instruments to read cylinder outlet temperatures when it happens and cylinder six is 10 to 20% higher than the other cylinders. i am told i need to drive it until i have a total failure. i feel that a failure on a crowded freeway could very possibly cause a multicar accident with injuries and fatalities. my dodge case number is 11579365 and they have a complete case file; however they will do nothing.*ak | |||
