| I have a 2004 dodge ram 3500. i have had 4 #2 injection lines break on it since 10 nov 2009. i have called both dodge and cummins on the issue. cummins said to call dodge, and dodge said it was noted and they would look into it. the problem that i have with it is that when it breaks it sprays desiel fuel onto the turbo charger. that reches temperatures that exceed the lower flamability rate of desiel fuel. but lucklily it has not caught fire yet. but 4 lines in six months seems to be excessive. i have seen a trend while trying to locate the part. almost all of the parts dealers knows which injection line is broken before i tell them. so it has to be a common problem. and this particular injection is usually on back order. i think it is a severe saftey issue. and i would like to see it gget fixed or addresed before anyone gets burned up in a vehicle due to the fuel ignition. | |||

| We have had a fuel problem issue with this truck since april of 2005 it bucks so hard it bruises you. we have replace everything possible and it still happens. they say it is water in fuel but it is not that. we have had several high pressure injector lines break. one caused a fire, diesel was going everywhere. we had several break after that. they have no clue why these injectors are breaking but we owe to much to trade in. it is just ashamed that you can not go anywhere safe in a 42,000 truck. we have stressed our concerns with dodge they said not there problem . *nm | |||

| Dt: vehicle stalled on highway due to bad fuel pump. 2004 dodge picked up and stalled on highway more than once. dealership could not replace the original fuel pump because daimler/chrysler said the original fuel pump was defective, and they would like to do it in the fuel tank and rewire it. feels this is a safety hazard. *ak | |||
