I own a 1992 dodge d-250 with a 5.9l cummins diesel engine. I was driving on I-95 one day under load when all of a sudden my truck tried to take off. The injection pump failed and gave it full throttle. It was scary as hell and I am lucky traffic wasn't bad and I was able to get it into neutral avoiding a crash. I later found out that there was a recall for that pump (recall #605). My truck has the faulty pump.... Is stamped #169.... Was never replaced.... Yet dodge says there were never any recalls for my truck.
