| Description of the problem | Truck randomly and without warning shut off while in motion on a busy city street. Would not restart. Popped the hood and got strong smell of diesel fuel. Discovered cylinder number four high pressure fuel line ( from rail to feeder tube) leaking a lot of fuel onto the engine. This happened without warning and there were no signs or symptoms that something was wrong. Turns out this is a common issue with cummins diesel engines and have been known in the past to cause these truck to catch fire in some instances. It is a $71 part from the dealership but it does affect other cylinders as well. All 6 high pressure fuel lines should be replaced and since there is no recall for the defect i will be putting the money out to replace all of them. |
