Fuel shortage at Half tank, 2015 cummins

[cash4acres]

I have a problem when my 2015 Ram Cummins Truck reaches half tank fuel the delivery of fuel to the engine becomes sporadic sometimes the engine dies at 1/4 to 3/8 tank sometimes while I'm driving the fuel rail pressure drops to 1-2k and that's bad

what is causing this? the pump in the tank? pump CP3? or filters?

I have changed at 5 and 3 thousand miles front and back filters.

truck runs so smooth with zero vibration when tank is full to half full. Help help help

I'm the guy that gets 25-33 MPGs freeway.

I would start with the simple stuff first. Almost sounds like a venting issue? There should be a tube that runs up and is tie strapped to the filler neck (behind the side panel). I would check and make sure it isn't clogged.

Unless you are getting extremely dirty fuel those filters should be good for a long time. I change mine when the display says to change them which is about every 15K miles

He could stick a screwdriver or something to hold both flaps in the filler open to see if the problem goes away, that would eliminate a venting issue.
If the problem starts happening near a quarter tank, there might be something wrong with the lift pump pick up.

Good ideas.

I once had a fuel pressure sensor flake out. Check filters, check lines, etc..

I think it is either the fuel pressure regulator or the fuel pickup/ lift pump in the fuel tank. I have heard of both of these issues causing this problem.

P0087. Towed to Stealership. Good I have a cp3 with me. 35k new. Labor quote Monday.

To get your injector pump replaced, you are looking at anywhere from $1,400 to $1,875. For labor, you should pay between $770 and $1,000, while parts will run between $685 and $900
