my dad has a 2004 dodge ram 2500 with the 5.9L cummins turbo diesel on Friday getting on to the L.I.E. it sputtered a little bit but was fine for a half hour ride, he shut it off for 5 Min's then started and drove to work in Farming dale which was a bout 15 Min's away, driving in Farmingdale the check engine light came on and the engine cut out, he attempted to start it again but it would only crank so we let it to sit nearby his work, came back a half hour later drained the fuel water separator and cranked more to get it started, after sitting for about 8 hours we took out the fuel filter sprayed it with ether and cleaned it out worked for the trip back out east and replaced the filter on the way. then on Sunday we took it out thinking everything was fine but it again cut out about 4 more times on a 20 mile round trip the last time we couldn't get it started for about a half hour. the check engine light remains on and still has trouble with cutting out and getting it started again. what can cause this? is it a computer problem?
