2004 Dodge ram 3500 5.9

I have this weird situation in upstate N.Y. where my truck, when its cold starts right up and then acts like its running out of fuel and sometimes does stall out. It will start right back up and run perfect all day until recently where I noticed a slight hesitation on leaving a red light and other times of slight hesitation. Any clues as to what to look at for this issue? Obviously a fuel issue but no codes. On warmer days like 60 plus, the starting problem is gone.

Get some Lucas fuel additive to clean the injectors. Drain the water filter. Change the fuel filter as well


I love my truck!

Drain your water separator into a clear bottle and let it sit to see if debris or water settles out. On my '05 I could slip a water bottle(dried out)over the outlet and balance it on the drag link.

being a 5.9 I have heard of intake plenum leaking , might need to replace the gasket
