Some Dodge Ram 2500 owners report experiencing engine failures after hitting bumps, where the engine cranks but won't start, often accompanied by a lack of fuel pump activation and communication issues. These problems may be linked to a malfunctioning fuel pump that requires replacement. Additionally, some owners have encountered communication difficulties potentially caused by electrical components, such as aftermarket engine management parts or issues with the ignition switch. The symptoms of the engine dying after a bump can indicate underlying problems with either the fuel or ignition systems. It is crucial for owners to have a professional mechanic inspect their vehicle to accurately diagnose the cause of these issues and recommend necessary repairs to restore functionality.
