There is no electric pump on a 96 as he said. If it runs good after warm up, it's not plugged filters. Don't fret about the fuel sender...that gets replaced about every 40 thousand miles...almost like clockwork. There is supposed to be a better sending unit out there...but I have not found it yet. Look under it in the morning as see if you have a little fuel on the ground. Don't worry about a few drops of oil from the vent tube, that is normal. It sounds to me like it is either the fuel return line from the back of the pump to the fuel tank. The old rubber tends to leak after awhile. When it does you loose prime and it gets hard to start. At least you can still start it without having to prime the system. Or, you have a bad or sticking checkvalve in the line on the back front corner of the fuel injection pump. It sets in a banjo type fitting on the back of the pump. Now...some other things to look out for when you get this fixed...throttle cable will wear if a modified one from Dodge has not been installed. Look at where the cable hooks on the throttle linkage. You can tell the new one because it will have a plastic sleeve on the end of it. Next, find a good Cummins mechanic and get the timing checked. Most 94 thru 98 and a half have slipped about 10 degrees on the fuel pump gear. The horrible timing gear cover dowel pin. It comes out and will shatter the front timing cover. Hopefully someone has had this fixed already. Carry an extra fuel shutdown relay in the glove box...right next to the extra headlight switch if you pull a trailer a lot. Shes a fine vehicle if you do just a few things to her. Mine has over 288,000 on her now and has never let me down. I like it better than the new ones and get a lot better fuel mileage. If you ever have questions...post them here. There are a lot of good folks on here. Depending where you live, I personally know a great diesel mechanic that retired from Cummins had he can really make them perform. Good luck with her.
