- Hey guys, welcome to the latest project on the channel. This time we are we are working on a 2006 Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins engine rebuild! Follow along as I remove the cab and start tearing down the engine for removal. Most people never have a chance to see a cummins engine rebuild take place, so I'm hoping to show the process as clearly as I can.

I like the 5.9 just for the lack of garbage emissions controls and reliability. The 6.7 is great but explain the heroic champion slapping of the injector against the piston that's attached to the 6.7. It's a great engine but not flawless. The 6.7 turbo is nice as well.
why do a lot of dodge fans say that the, 5.9 is pretty much one of dodges best engine and that it was a mistake to stop using the 5.9? what makes the 5.9 so great to these people
How dare you say there is a motor better than the 5.9!! Don't you know the 5.9 Cummins and the 7.3 Powerstroke are the holy grails of diesel engines!! Blasphemy!! 😂

I think the 6.7 Cummins is the best engine Ram has ever made.
@@RickySlattonram didn’t make it but yea it’s the best they’ve ever used
@@nexpro6118as a dodge guy myself, they are million Mile motors, no emissions equipment strapped to them, and if taken care of are virtually free of major problems. (As far as the actual engine itself goes 😂) the auto trans, electronics, HVAC are more prone to issues though. And body rust.
Another thing to add is Cummins INC believes so much in their motors they have a “million mile club” you can get badges to put on your truck every 100,000 miles you hit starting with 200,000 I think.
Your awesome dude hope your channel continues to grow
Thanks man! And thank you for watching 👍
According to your video you got the cab off in 12min lol i like your videos keep up the good work 👏🏽
Sweet, another project!
Looking forward to seeing another truck put back to work 💪
Thanks man 👍
@@ReignitedAuto what is your opinion on people that say the reason why engines today are built so complicated and annoying/retarded, is so that most people will have to bring their vehicle to a dealership rather then them being able to work on it themselves? I know some of this is real because of the complicated computers/computer systems that vehicles have today. if someone doesn't have a multi thousand dollar code reader, it makes it almost impossible to do your own work on the car Today. am I correct on that?
6/7 gets better fuel economy... Look people Cummins, engines just done right..
My 08 6.7 has no emissions.😎 215k But I'm about to do Head gasket, head studs, water bypass, and 3 micron Fuel filter kit from black market.
Controversial statement coming .... 6.7 HEAD GASKET .... I'm happy with the 5.9 24V with the VP44 to the point I have bought used with 330k miles and my latest purchase a 98 with 172k ... too much electronics I don't want to deal with , I can live with the VP , I have a spare.
They are not making the 6.7 because it’s better they are putting them in the trucks now because the 5.9 couldn’t make enough power to compensate for the emission system.
I stand by my statement 😀
The 6.7 doesnt have nor will it ever ha e the history of the 5.9
This is why the 5.9 was so popular
The 6.7 is literally the exact same engine, it just has more displacement. Of course, they added a bunch of emissions controls that have affected the reputation, but the engine itself is absolutely incredible.
@Reignited - Cycle and Automotive it is but I feel you are missing the point.
The new beetle will never have the nostalgia that the original vw bug did for one reason. It can't go back in time and earn its place in history.
The 5.9 24 valve literally saved dodge from certain doom.
With that said I too feel that the 6.7 is far superior than the 5.9
But better? That's a tall order
Nice!!
Hey those plastic flakes are the paint inside the oil pan pealing. Make sure you buy an oem pan when putting it back together. I bet it clogged the oil sump and then starved the motor of oil
Good call on that, I haven't cleaned the pan yet so I'll take a look at it when I do 👍
Big wrench and a hammer always works for a fan clutch
Can't wait to see what is all wrong with this truck. I looked at this truck when it was forsale.
You'll probably be glad you passed on it 😄 thanks for watching 👍
@@ReignitedAuto
Can't wait to see the video's.
@@kennycarter8704 Thursday!
I think you're getting away from the fact that Daimler Chrysler made 5.9 motors for many years made in the good old USA
Cummins made the 5.9. Daimler Chrysler made the truck
Awesome channel.. Hemi swap... Hemi swap
Haha, I've got another one lying around 🤔...... Thanks for watching!👍
Where are the rest of the series on this rebuild?
Should be a full playlist on the build on my channel 👍
I went from 2 rams both 6.7 over to the 5.9. I've had three 5.9 and i regret spending money on these trucks. Both my 6.7s were deleted. Over 500k miles easily. I can't seem to take a 5.9 over 300k without spending lots of money. By the way i tow heavy with my trucks.
What do you do to resurfacing the head and block???
I don't automatically resurface them. I've got a straight edge tool to check the flatness of the surfaces, if they pass that test I just clean them up for reinstallation. 👍
Is it possible to unbolt the A/C compressor and hang it from the body so you don't have to dump the freon ?
Interesting thought, I've never actually tried that before. I suspect it all depends on the routing if the lines themselves. 🤔
@@ReignitedAuto I saw it done on youtube with a Chevy van and I assume that is what was done when the Ford tech lifted the entire cab off my 2018 F150 to replace the cam phasers , 5 trips total because of that mess so I sold it back to the dealer and bought a 98 24v 2500 ram w/172k miles that I can fix myself ...
Used to do that on Chevy 350s. Just unbolt and lay em over to the side. So nice lol
How high is your ceiling? Atlas 12k lift ali?
That's correct it's the Atlas 12K extra wide extra tall. I actually designed the building around the lift believe it or not 😄 I knew this was the lift I wanted, so if you can see in the videos the trusses are scissor trusses so I would have enough room for the lift. The walls are 14' high, and the lift measures 14' 9".
@@ReignitedAuto
Thanks looking towards the pvl-9bp my ceilings are 12ft. Currently have the bendpak md-6xp mid-rise works well but have taller ceilings now with new location. Keep up the great videos and watch out for black eyes...
@@alandhutchison 😄 check out asedeals.com, that where I got this lift from and I was really happy with the price and the service 👍
@@ReignitedAuto same here I bought my bendpak from asedeals.com. How thick is your slab any issues? What was your final torque on the anchors?
@@alandhutchison no I wanted to avoid any issues so my slab is 6" but underneath the lift is 9". I went with the German torque spec "gudentight" 😎
The 5.9 was discontinued because it couldn’t meet modern emissions standards. Not faulting the 6.7 I love both. And do agree the 6.7 overall is a better engine too just wanted to clarify cummins main reason to stop production of the 5.9
Nope. If they added the exact same external emissions components to the 5.9 as they have the 6.7 it would pass just fine. They upped the displacement because all the other major manufacturers were going bigger and they needed their tow ratings to match up.
@@ReignitedAutoExactly!
ppump 5.9 ftw
why do a lot of dodge fans say that the, 5.9 is pretty much one of dodges best engine and that it was a mistake to stop using the 5.9? what makes the 5.9 so great to these people and if the 6.7 is better, is it because of the power output you can add easily to it?
Get to rebuilding it already
Preachy as fuck but definitely a cool project. Have fun bud
😂 Fair enough! Thanks for watching 👍
How dare you! You find the only broken 5.9 known to man and then claim that it isn’t the greatest engine ever built? How dare you. And you seem a little confused your supposed to find a good 5.9 in a bad shipping crate and put it in place of a 6.4..... oh well at least it isn’t in a truck that has more moving parts in the front end than than there are stars in the universe.
I've heard that diesel mechanics make so much more than regular gas powered engine mechanics. is this true?
Yes generally.
Idk man I got 598k out of mine before I completely wore my piston out
Yeah we need more HEMI.
Coming up in one week!
Better is arbitrary. If better is power and torque then the 6.7 is "better"
I feel that the 5.9 put dodge and cummins on the map when it comes to the light truck market.
That being said. Tomato tomattow. To each his own
I don't agree . The 6.7 is a 6.7 because they had to make a slightly larger motor to compensate for the emissions egr ect. Arguably it's just more because it had to be not a better motor.
The 6.7 is better in every measurable metric, and with the same reliability as the famed 5.9 version. Literally it's the same engine, it just is slightly larger, which makes it better. My opinion anyway.
Million and a half thousand ?
I knew someone would call me out on that 😂
@@ReignitedAuto No worries bro,...My head was just spinning trying to do the math !! LOL. Love the videos though !
The 12v gets all those miles and reliability but the 6.7 is better because it's newer and gets more power?? What!?
It's just my opinion, but there's literally no comparison between what a 12V can pull, and what a modern 6.7 can pull. It's making literally 4 times the power of the old 12v engine, and if you take the emissions stuff off you can still get 15-16mpg out of it, how is that not an improvement? Sure you can build up a 12v to make serious power, at which point it is subject to all the reliability issues of any other engine when pushed past it's designed specifications. I know there are some out there who are perfectly happy with the stock power of a 12v, and you're right, they'll do 500k miles without breaking a sweat. But for me, I'd like to get someplace sometime this century, not to mention with my eardrums intact 😄
My man don’t ya know in the Bible it says on the 8th day God built the 5.9 Cummins diesel 😂. To be honest I’ve always loved the 5.9. I have never owned a 6.7. My brother-in-law has a 6.7 currently and has had a few 5.9s and he said he will never go back to a 5.9 so 🤷🏻♂️
😄 it's a great engine don't get me wrong, but the 6.7 is so much more powerful!
@@ReignitedAuto oh I’m sure it is. Maybe one day I’ll have a 6.7 lol
There must have been a lotta butthurt 5.9 fanboys out there.... hope they we're not too hard on you. 😋
😄
He really just said one of the loudest most annoying engine ever.
Thats like saying the ford 6.0 was better than the 7.3.
It's not really since the 6.7 Cummins is an evolution in the 5.9 Cummins, not a completely new design. However, as it happens I agree with that statement as well, the 6.0 is better 😄.
1:05 “see right here” *points to nothing*
So, by your logic, the 6.4 and 6.0 powerstrokes are better than the 7.3 because they don't make it anymore. We all know that isn't true.
First of all, you're comparing apples to oranges. The 6.7 Cummins is merely an updated and oversize version of the 5.9 Cummins, not an entirely different engine. And my point stands, the 6.7 is a far superior engine versus the 5.9 it makes more power and more torque and is just as reliable, and yet it's quieter. How is that not better?
@Reignited - Cycle and Automotive I see your point but you stated in the video that they don't make the 5.9 anymore so it's inferior.
@Mark Police it's kind of like comparing the Chevy 350 to the Chevy LS series, you'll have the die hard supporters of the classic small block, but almost everyone can see the LS is a better engine in every way. Technology progresses, and to like the previous generation more just because it's what you're used to is short sighted, that's why I have trouble with the 5.9 zealots. ESPECIALLY the 12v psychos 😆
@Reignited - Cycle and Automotive Yeah. That's definitely true. The 350 is good but the LS is definitely better. I think the appeal of the 5.9 is its simplicity. But I'd rather have reliability.
Emissions nonsense exactly
When over half of the video is your face making noise you need to stop
You win, I'm out ✌️
Why the fuck does he keep saying a million thousand? That makes no sense
Only to annoy people like you
