| Description of the problem | The lift pump on my 2002 dodge ram 2500 diesel went out while driving. The truck start jerking every time i went to accelerate and nearly caused an accident. After having talked to others with a same truck, others have experienced the same problem. At the time of the incident, the truck had about 19,000 miles on it and was a year and 6 months old. I would not expect this type of failue on a new truck with so little miles on it. |
