I'm glad I found this site.  I need help.  My 2000 Dodge 3500 lift pump went out.  I replaced it and the filter.  I know I have read that typically the injector pump goes out but here is the problem.  The truck only shows "P Done"  for codes.  When I crank the truck over CLOUDS of fuel come out the tail pipe.  If I use starting fluid and pin the throttle it will stay running(rough) at 1200 RPM until I let off, then it dies.  I bled up to the injector pump and bled four of the six injectors(couldn't reach the other two).  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!!!

  well it is possible to have an inj failure without a code. if you'r lift pump went out. it has probably been low on pressure for a while. that's what causes the main inj pump to go out, when it's subjected to low pressure for  for a period of time. i would have it scanned with a good scanner that can check the stored history codes. and not rely on the...

more than likely there's a small leak in the head gasket area, where a water port and oil port are close together. if the truck has ever over heated or has a ton of miles on it. this can happen.

if there is coolant in oil. it's no mystery. more than likely it's the oil cooler or head gasket issue.


i have replaced it and still doing it. Cant find any sort of leak. could it still be headgasket with no white smoke pouring out. heat is fine and all temps are fine too.  I'm lost!!!
