As the title states I have a good friend with a Dodge pickup, it has a Cummings inline 6 turbo diesel in it and it wont start, he was backing out of the driveway and poof it quit, Ii has fule and the filters have been changed, he is getting fuel and pressure from the fuel pump but that is as far as we can go, it will run for a bit if starting fluid is shot in to the air intake but stops.

This is his only transportation so he needs to get it running, and there are no repair shops that close by or will come out to fix it, he would have to have it towed 40 miles to the nearest place.

Anyone with any ideas??

Sounds like fuel injector pump is not sending fuel to the cylinders.Could have lost its prime.Break loose a injector line going to a cylinder and turn engine over.Be careful.
