My truck was running fine when I shut it off. When I tried to crank it back up it just turned over. Changed the fuel filter which had some trash in it and still nothing. Gas ragged it and it would just run off that and die. I pulled the banjo fitting going into the injection pump and there was what looked to be some dirt. I also pulled the fuel shutoff bracket off thinking that it might be the problem.After doing that it fired right up and ran fine. Test drove it for about 15 minutes and thought everything was fine. When I tried to start it about an hour later the same thing. I'm getting fuel to the inj pump but nothing out of it. Any suggestions?

maybe something is wrong when it gets hot? I have no idea when it comes to a Cummins, just thinking out loud...

Could be. Thanks and keep them coming

do you have good pressure going into the injection pump? Assuming you have a lift pump feeding the injection pump?

The pressure is good coming from the lift pump to the injection pump

loosen a couple of the lines going from the injection pump to the injectors and crank it over to see if fuel is getting to the injectors.

I did. Nothing comes out of the dvs at all

Check your fuel shutoff solenoid. Make sure it is pulling all the way up when you are trying to start the engine. Bet that will fix it, and if you need a good price on a new one or the relay PM me. I have a place that treats us diesel guys good. Let me know how it turns out, Gary

I'll try it again. When I got it to run I had the whole solenoid off. Thanks guys, It's Cody Gary

That was it. I rigged a coat hanger up for now :D Thanks guys

good you found the problem and it wasnt expensive!:D

glad you found it

When it rains it pours! Anybody have any idea why the o-ring on top of the fuel filter would keep popping out after about 30 minutes of driving? I think it might have something to do with the return line

Call Jr

Kind of sounds like your building a little too much pressure in there for some reason.

if you get a new filter, does it come with an o-ring? the one for my fuhord does, maybe try that. also like kyle said maybe too much pressure also. Do you have an adjustable lift pump? what years your truck? VP44?

If the oring is shot and just sloppy loose like a 14th street.....ummmm worker.....on friday night, maybe thats why its popping out.

I was told (i dont have one i could be wrong) that a VP44 truck doesnt like too much pressure, so if you have an adjustable pump turned way up, try backing it off some.

DUH i just realized its in the 12 valve section, so the pump thing goes out the window, but it still could be building too much pressure for what the oring can handle, if the o-ring or the assembly that its in is worn out. Def try calling Jr, and he should be able to help ya out!

The stud that the filter screws on somehow came loose and was vibrating down. All it took was a allen wrench! :) Thanks for the help guys

No problem. The easy fixes are always the best!
