This video was amazing. Just what I was looking for a complete diagnostic but left me hoping for part two. Though after reading the comments sounds like you are satisfied with the improvements. Hate throwing parts at vehicles so these diagnostic steps will be a life saver, thanks!!

channelurviews thanks for your comment man and glad to hear the video helped out some! I apologize for not doing the second part video. After adding an extension hose on my snubber and smoothing out the fuel pressure needle, everything on the truck has been working perfectly so I haven't messed with it since. It seems that a tiny bit of little air bubbles in the return line is normal based on what I've seen. Thanks again for watching!

Hey man nice job on your videos. Thank you for the in depth clear close ups and sharing all the research you have learned and shared.

Just an update on that pump from Amazon. It is now $140. Precision brand from Oreilly's for same price with warranty. Great vid, young Brother. Diagnosis prior to dumping bucks on parts is the only way to go. Starting on mine this AM using these steps. MOST grateful for the vid and the great contribution to the Ram community.

Thanks for the update man! I really appreciate your comment and Good luck with your repair! A little feedback goes a long way, and keeps me motivated to keep putting videos that I I think somebody may find useful out there

Any time you move a liquid air bubbles form in that liquid also the fuel filter mounted on the motor causes the filter to shake causing air bubbles it's normal for a certain amount of air bubbles to be in a fuel system the air bubbles get returned back to the vented tank the needle bouncing is because the lift pump is a stroke pump

This is golden knowledge shared video. Thank you for sharing your finding sir. This very usefull me as I'm diesel tuner and lover. Sometimes I missed to check the simple things first and end up wasting time and money by brought wrong faulty spare parts.

Thanks buddy for the approach methods at least she got a lil better did u find the prob and make part 2

Just to say what I did, due to problems I was having. I used clear line where it can be used, and that's where I found my air problem. Took. Out my banjo bolts and went to the local diesel shop for Barb fittings. Process of elimination with clear line. Heater was shot. So, I ended up replacing all the banjo bolts and fuel lines...

I know this was a long time ago but I have the same thing with the fuel gauge any time I do anything with the fuel system. It won’t go away untill I put the truck into a high gear and get on it. Make it work and really pour the fuel. Seems to clean it up. Something to try if your having those issues.

Sounds like maybe they are bubbles in your system are causing it. Adding a snubber and relocating V fuel pressure sensor to a remote location solved by issue. It seems having it mounted right on the pump was causing problems

Did you ever find out where the air in the return line was coming from

@NoNonsenseKnowHow

5 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately I did not. After this video, a few of my diesel buddies said that it was normal. It still puzzles me a little bit because there's clearly no air going in. But maybe it's just the fuel being disturbed and then going through the pump and all that. The truck runs absolutely perfect so I never messed with it further. I was hoping that maybe with this video some other people might have Insight that I can look further into. Do you have bubbles in yours?

I have a 97 dodge cummins and i have a problem my truck started this morning then when i went to start it again it never started again and i opened the bleed screw on filter and air came out and i cranked it and while cranking no fuel came out so i tried using the primer push plunger and was able to get fuel to over flow out the bleeder screw but still wouldnt start. I opened the injector lines and cranked it and no fuel would come out so im stuck with a crank no start now does anyone might know why my problem might be?

Honestly without actually looking at it it's hard to try and diagnose it. But with the information in this video, if you go through all these checks you should be able to pinpoint or at least get closer to a solution. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. Let me know what you find out

Did it have a lope to it at lower rpm’s?

Everything I've read said that your diesel fuel Supply should ideally have no air bubbles in it at all. And to me, I would think that since I see Zero air bubbles going in the clear line I should see 0 air bubbles coming out of the return. But yes, in the end it seems that this is pretty normal. However the steps I demonstrate in this video would be good for somebody to follow who is getting excessive air in their fuel. Thank you for your comment.
