 Description of the problemWhile driving down the road my vehicle died. Once i pulled over the truck was engulfed in a cloud of white smoke. Popped the hood and there was diesel fuel sprayed all over the engine bay. In order to determine the issue i cranked the engine over for a moment and found that the #4 fuel line had cracked and was spraying fuel everywhere. How the vehicle did not catch fire surprises me. It turns out the bracket which isolates the fuel line had fallen off. When i purchased the new part (~$75. 00), i noticed how they redesigned the line so it would not have this issue in the future. So obviously cummins/ chrysler are aware of the issue, but have not taken any step to at least let their customers know that they have redesigned the part. After further research on the internet, there are hundreds of discussion threads about this, and how it has happened to many other dodge cummins owners with vehicles built from 2004. 5-2007. 5.
