Engine Mechanical problem
2004 Dodge Ram Two Wheel Drive Automatic 88000 miles
I have a 3500 5.9L turbo diesel and the engine shuts off every once in a while while driving. It seems be starving for fuel. Once it stops, it is very difficult to restart - if it will. The first time it conked out, I had it towed to a repair shop and they replaced the batteries - but of course that did not fix the problem. I've been told that this symptom sounds like the fuel filter needs to be replaced. As far as I know, the fuel filter has never been replaced. What do you suggest? If it is the fuel filter, where is it, and how do you replace it?
Thanks,
