asuming water...just came from out side thinking fuel pump ..have you ever replace a fuel pump and at what mileage on a 1995 dodge ram iam at 133333 yep - could very well be a fuel pump. in that case id first get a fuel pressure gauge on it and see what the pressure is in the rail when you try cranking it. again - you want to make sure of the problem before tearing into it... if the pressure checked out good between 45 and 50psi id be looking elsewhere possibly to water contamination in which case id drain the tank as discussed before - assuming the engine fired with starting fluid as for replacing the pump you have two options - either drop the tank or remove the bed. at 133k those bed bolts are probably pretty rusty or else thats really the easier method - just a few bolts disconnect a couple of wiring harnesses unbolt the filler neck and four guys can easily lift it off and set it down. if you opt to drop the tank get as much fuel out of it as you can and use a floor jack with a piece of plywood on it to support the tank. remove the two straps lower it slightly disconnect the lines and electrical from the top and pull it out. from there youll have to remove the lock ring fsm shows a special spanner wrench but you can tap it off with a screwdriver and a hammer - rotate it counter-clockwise then pull the whole fuel pump module out. this is serviced as an assembly so youre looking around the $300 range for a replacement. replacement is pretty simple make sure to get a new gasket - put it back in put the lock ring back on tap it snug and put the tank back up or the bed back on. now if i were doing this myself id probably see what could be done about removing the fuel pump from that module bypassing it with some hoses and installing an external pump right on the frame rail. not having actually done this i cant give you any specifics but i always hated the fact that #1 the pump is inside the tank and #2 its not replaceable separately. .

it could also be a problem with throttle position sensor help! this has been going on about a month now. about 15 minutes into my 30 minute drive to and from work my truck will shudder or lurch like it momentarily loses power. it feels like running over a speed bump on the highway. this may happen 2 or 3 times before getting to where im going. i dont think im losing total electrical power because there is no break in the radio or ac. this also happens with the radio and ac off... also about a couple times each week when i come to a stop the truck will just die. starts right back up with no problem... there are no check engine lights. i took it to the shop and they ran a diagnostic with no results and told me to take it to dodge. dodge did a diagnostic with no results. so they started playing the guessing game which has cost me $313.00 so far. here is what they did 1 change spark plugs 2 change pvc valve 3 bg major fuel induction system service with injector kit and throttle body gasket nothing has changed!!! question can an electrical fuel pump gradually go on the fritz dumb question i know and/or after driving for a while can the motion of the truck shake up any crap in the fuel filter and clog it up enough to cause the above problems dodge wants $700.00 to drop the tank and replace the fuel pump and filter. cant afford this to be another guess... any guidance would be appreciated. thanks pcb .
