 Description of the problemI have a 2004 dodge ram 3500. I have had 4 #2 injection lines break on it since 10 nov 2009. I have called both dodge and cummins on the issue. Cummins said to call dodge, and dodge said it was "noted" and they would look into it. The problem that i have with it is that when it breaks it sprays desiel fuel onto the turbo charger. That reches temperatures that exceed the lower flamability rate of desiel fuel. But lucklily it has not caught fire yet. But 4 lines in six months seems to be excessive. I have seen a trend while trying to locate the part. Almost all of the parts dealers knows which injection line is broken before i tell them. So it has to be a common problem. And this particular injection is usually on back order. I think it is a severe saftey issue. And i would like to see it gget fixed or addresed before anyone gets burned up in a vehicle due to the fuel ignition.
