Hi, folks! Wife and I are on the verge of buying an '00 Dodge 2500 diesel to run on biodiesel. My main concern, given my history, is with fuel injector return lines. On examining the engine, I noted that the injectors appear to be inside the engine block, or at least not have return lines. Which of these is in fact the case? If the injectors are inside the block, do they have return lines, and if so, are they made of rubber, metal, or what? If made of non-Viton rubber, how difficult is it to get at them to replace them? Are there any other biodiesel-related issues particular to Cummins diesels of this era of which we should be aware?
Also, the engine was louder than we expected (and we've heard other diesels, including other diesel pick-ups which we've test driven, but all these were Fords) but otherwise seemed to run smoothly; could that be cause for concern? Finally, about when do these vehicles need the timing belt replaced, and about how expensive a service is that (parts and labor)? Sorry to bother you, and thanks!
