The 3 psi is caused by a failed transfer pump. The problem the loss of could be the VP44 injection pump. This pump should be run at min 7psi. I had the same fuel pressure problem. I replaced my stock transfer pump with a FASS DDRP from www.usdieselparts.com. The stock pump is over $200 to replace and will fail again, sometimes right out of the box. The DDRP will supply about 15psi to the pump and is simple to install. I hope this helps.

99 Dodge ram 2500 with cummins diesel stalled and won't restart. Changed fuel filter, and determined that there is fuel going to injector pump.
loosen one fuel line to one of the injectors, try to start the truck and look for the fuel to spray out of the line. it should spray rather hard if the injector pump is working right. if it just dribbles or trickles out you have a weak pump.

What would cause me to keep losing power to the electric fuel pump on a 99 dodge 2500 24 valve cummins
the cause of your problem would be dirty injectors,and or dirty fuel filters on truck. check the filters and replace the fuel filters. also check your air filter . if it's dirty replace it as well. hope this will help!!!

1999 dodge diesel 2500 seems to have a fuel related problem.
Please clarify the "loosing power" does it lose power and shut down or does it loose power but will idle? Your Cummins is electronically controlled so oil condition is important, fuel leaks, oil leaks, leaks in the air ducting between the turbo and the intake, sensors, water in the fuel. Do you get an engine light when this trouble happens? Dodge uses a lift pump to carry fuel to the the injection pump, is it working?

Dodge cummins won't start, fuel reaching injector pump but no fuel coming out of injector pump.
You said you have fuel flowing from the inlet line of the injection pump? But not at the injector lines?
