hello gents
I have read one of the hard start forums don't think that's me This truck has always popped off without throttle since it was new 1 sec crank and its running... unless fuel filter change time.
To start off I have replaced the lift pump 2 years ago the one on the block.
Ok this just started happening to me two weeks ago. Very hard to start sometimes tap of the throttle and hold down halfway like the visor says to do ...while cranking she will bust off 3-4 sec cranks other times I will prime the lift pump a good 100 times (just under the filter) the button you can mash down... and half throttle she will bust off but HARD like 6 seconds !!!<--- That is very strange for this truck 2 second crank if that and she's running with no throttle hell I will even say 1 sec crank max with no throttle as well ever since it was new.
Question does the button eventually get hard I cant remember I have had it for so long. It never gets hard to mash down....
Also while pumping you can hear air or fluid in the lines . I have filled a Windex bottle full of soapy water and sprayed every freaking line I could see checking for bubbles while pumping and nothing....
I have been driving this truck for so long I cant even tell if I am losing power
while I am driving it takes me a good mile just to pass someone at 70mph
This truck is a two owner my dad bought brand new and I bought from him he has a 5.9 24v 2003 and he has way more power than me 6 speed manual bone stock.
Any info helps
My truck is 1997 dodge ram 2500 5.9 L 12 valve 5 speed manual 195,000 miles bone stock except for a better air filter k and n
Go easy on me thanks I hope you guys can help
