problem #1

Aug 102004

Dakota 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
My truck started to take longer to get it to start after taking it to my local dealership it was found to be the fuel pressure relief valve on the fuel pump was leaking back into the fuel tank this was no surprise because when the symptoms first started I investigated the problem on some Dakota groups on the internet and found it to be a common problem for quite a few years. You would think Dodge would fix the problem but then again they charge $442 for a fuel pump so where is the incentive.
