Symptom: The engine loses power and stalls while driving, or won't start, sometimes with fuel-system codes.
Likely causes
- High-pressure fuel pump. FCA recall Z46 (NHTSA 22V406) covers pump failure on 3.0L EcoDiesel trucks. Owners on EcoDieselRam and RamForumz say the remedy involved long waits for parts, and some trucks got an interim inspection.
- Debris. A pump that has already failed can send metal through the fuel system, which turns into a much bigger repair.
Cost
$0 under the recall.
