It is possibly the injection pump. Happened to me. Contaminated fuel can cause it. The pump was replaced along with lift pump. Runs great now--Dodge has the best diesel engine. First, check the fuel pump relay--that happened to me, too. Under the hood, driver's side, plastic snap-off cover.
You start by removing the fuel pump, installation is the reverse of removal.
Dodge started using the 5.9L Cummins engine in the 1989 model year.
There is no such engine as a Cummins 2500 Diesel.
i know with diesel engines if you run out of diesel, or change any part of your fuel line you will need to bleed your injectors to get it to run. you may have to bleed them all before it will run.
I would put on new fuel filters and use some fuel conditioner.
Some at the very top is siphoned out when you start to unscrew it.
Hard starting on a diesel is from a lack of fuel or a lack of heat/compression. Air in the fuel lines, plugged fuel filters, and broken electric fuel pumps are the more common hard start issues. Cummins engines use a grid type air preheater. If the hard starting is ONLY in cold weather this is a good place to start.
Low power or no start.
The cummins went 24 valve in model year 1998.5
The wait to start light on a 92 Dodge Diesel truck can be caused by a lack of fuel to the engine. It can also be caused by a wiring problem.
Probably the fuel pump. Or the injectors.
2007 was the first year but you could also get 5.9 diesel also
