I replaced the lift pump in my 2001 Ram 24 valve, straight six deisel. I still have a problem.
After lettting the truck sit over night or at work, it fires right up, and "knocks" after 15 seconds she quites down, begins to smoke, won't tack up and has no power. It will do this for about 5 to 10 mins, and then she will kick in, and run fine. No smoke, knocking, power, however on the highway running around 65, for some reason she just begins to loose power and slowly dies when it feels like it. When this happens, I have to kick in the turbo just so it pulls itselfs.
Any ideas on what happening here?????
Thanks,
Scott
