Not getting fuel from injector pump to motor

Asked by Tabitha Aug 27, 2022 at 01:08 PM about the 2001 Dodge RAM 2500 SLT LB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have a 2001 dodge ram Cummins 2500 diesel and
after changing fuel filter, lift pump, fuel injectors,
and fuel relays etc. I'm getting fuel up thru lift
pump and to fuel injector pump but can't get any
from the injector pump to the engine so truck will
start.....what is the problem any ideas? I do know
the pumps are good and working and filter is good
also. I've been stuck on this for weeks now and
spent way more money than I wanted to. Can
someone plz tell me what's wrong with it or how to
fix it?! I'm about to set the thing on fire lol

Scan for any trouble codes yet? Some things I found on a diesel forum.......No fuel at injectors...Do you hear an audible click of the fuel shutoff solenoid when the 12v power is applied to the pump power terminal. If the pump was replaced, you need to loosen all the injection line nuts and crank until fuel weeps out of the line, then tighten back down. The air bleeding process takes quite a while.
