Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's
98-02 were flakey, all you need to do is add a gage to moniter the input pressure. If the lift pump goes and causes less than 5psi, the F/I will puke due to running dry.

Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's
My '96 Dakota has 210,000 miles. Other than the sticky valve back around Christmas its just fine. I never did follow up, the Lucas stuff worked good but made the trans shift weird when it was cold. A couple weeks ago it got a fluid flush and filter change (not a backflush, I was quite clear on that) and now its nearly 100%. It still keeps the TC locked up sometimes coming to a stop but strangely only when my wife is driving, it almost never does it to me. She's gotten pretty adept at shifting into neutral coming to a stop if the engine starts to die... So we're good for who knows how long. I'm starting to set aside money for a new truck.

Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's
I think it should be no big surprise that the trans is on its way out, 210,000 is alota miles on an American type auto box... But... Something was stuck and I had nothing but first and reverse. I put in the Lucas stuff and drove it around some then let it sit overnight. The next day I had first, second and reverse right off. Then as I drove it more it got more normal until now its back to fully normal. In fact its back to better than it was before this whole fiasco, shifts a little smoother, engages a little quicker. Is it on its way out?

Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's
Dwarfed, do you mean better or just bigger? Has he had trouble with ball joints? I think mine has has 2 in the 150,000 I've owned it. Is his the 4.7l v8? 1mpg better than mine is listed at, the same as the '96 v6, thats not too bad. The '07 is 1mpg better than that... Strange to me that it goes from a 5.2l v8 to a 4.7l v8 and we pick up 1mpg. I suspect its a big gain in HP though. Wiki says mine (5.2l) makes 235hp. *Groan* Wiki says the 4.7l from 2000-2004 was 230hp... The 2007 and later makes a mind bending 302hp, the v6 makes 210! Interestingly it also lists a 114hp (221 lb/ft of torque!) 4cyl diesel that unfortunately is noted to have overheating/self destructing problems. Good read the Dodge Dakota Wiki. -Curt -Curt Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 09:29:48 -0500 From: Mitch Haley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Curt Raymond wrote: So we're good for who knows how long.

Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's
What year Cummins IP's were the crappy ones? 98.5 through '03 or thereabouts. Prior (12-valve) and later common-rail engines just stall if the lift pump dies or the fuel filter clogs. About half the Dodge rotary pumps that the local Bosch place gets are killed due to lift pump/fuel filter issues, the other are internal electronics failures. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Suspect Dodge IP's
That's essentially the smaller version of the truck I have - mine's a crewcab dually. That is a pretty good price, that's for sure. No real problems under the hood, other than the usual cummins propensity to crack or warp exhaust manifolds (pretty rare, but it happens), and early 05's had plastic ends on the intercooler that can crack. To answer your question, though, the 98-03 ones will lose an IP if the lift pump doesn't provide enough pressure. The newer common rail ones will just end up on the side of the road needing a new lift pump.
