As a Cummins technician, I was told to always use the right tool for the job. But that injector line "home made" tool is ingenious compared to the block off tools I use
Great video. I have some mechanical ability to fix my 2005 cummins but diagnosing has to done systematically like you did it here. I feel more confident about having a clue for a no start.
I really appreciate all of these videos, Rich. Your channel is an absolute wealth of knowledge, and I thank you kindly for taking all of the extra time required to explain all of this while actually performing all of the work. I love the DGHD stuff just the same, never owned a combine before but man the way Kevin and you went through it top to bottom had me glued to the screen. Keep up the amazing work, I get excited every time I get the notification that you have a new video!
Thank you!!! Changed head gasket and NO start! CP3 later and your injector test worked!! IF I'd done it 1st it would of saved a $1200 pump! Thank you! Thank you for sharing!!!
I had the same issue with my 05, didnt want to start. I added some seafoam and it got it started. I think the previous owner didnt service and change fuel filter, found fine dirt particle in the fuel filter. Now i change that filter every oil change. Glad i found your channel. Thanks for upload.
I wasn't able to "predict" the cylinder in question but I was able to figure out my issue faster than the 8 weeks the stealership was able to figure out my issue, thank you very much
Hey man, I just want to say thank you I used this video to diagnose my 5.9 common rail after I put injectors in I blocked off number six the truck tried to start. I would’ve never figured that out without you. Thank you.
My friend you just saved me few hundred dollars, I did just want you saying and in my case it was the relief valve, I’ve disconnected the banjo on top of the relief valve and saw fuel coming out, so I ordered it and it runs great now, god bless you.
Just did this procedure on my 2003 and it was Injector #1. I had replaced all the injectors, but couldn't get the truck started after that. Replaced all the fuel tubes and retorqued all the injectors and then fuel tubes still no go. Was getting to the point of calling in a Diesel shop to take a look at it but decided to buy the Injector cap and try to isolate each injector. Tried #2 first and then #1, She started right up.. Now it's just a matter of either trying a new fuel tube or just go ahead and replace the injector (it was one of the new ones). I'm thinking of both, just to be done with it, but will decide before next weekend. Thank you SOOOoooo much for your great common sense video..
"Thank you" " Thank you" "Thank you" Yesterday my 06 Ram Cummins truck was out in a field. It wouldn't start but had good crank. I was prepared to have it towed to a repair shop. I watched your video.BANG! I forgot that the FASS pump wasn't Cummins. Got to the truck with all my tools only to quickly, that the negative line from the FASS was not connected. About 30 seconds of cranking amd away we went. ZERO COST!! "THANK YOU" again
Great vid! I would also recommend replacing the high pressure fuel connector going to the injector to make sure you don't get any fuel leaks at the mating surface of the injector and fuel connector.
dude my truck i have taken through every mech all said injecters ect u so rock 2 years given her either 1 watch this vid truck runs awsome simple easy instuctions u r awsome thank u so much for yer vidio
hey man, thanks to you for this video, I was able to find the problem with my ram, since by my own means, I checked the tank pump, and I even made a direct connection and the truck did not start Until I notice that I start only with ether starter, and searching find your video, so I started to cancel injectors, and just like your video, I start when I cancel the second one, so now I'm going to Take out the injector and take it to repair, thank you very much !!!
if you didn't get the joke it would mean that if she is capable of pinpointing that i smell like diesel and not saying *fuel* as in general purpose or wrongly saying gasoline, its a good sign... hence the quotes
Diesel is a fuel and gasoline is a fuel but gas is short for gasoline diesel don't run on gas they run on fuel Diesel fuel. No, diesel owners don't want someone to say gas when they mean diesel and people say fuel vs gas to differentiate diesel from gas Secondly, Diesel fuel is just saying this motor runs on diesel and its a fuel. Lastly, Diesel is not like that wimpy ass gas shit that stinks and burns like shit. Moreover, the point was that's the type of gal you wanna take home granted she can cook as well.
AWESOME !!!!! lol wish I had this good of a video back when I replaced my CP3 now (cp3K) LIFTED PUMP now (FASS 150) AND HAD MY STICKS checked out... only replaced 2.
I wish I could have seen this video about 12 or 13 years ago. 03 2500 with 290k miles with a can of ether under the front seat, hee hee! I just stumbled across your channel today and I've enjoyed watching your vids.
Good video thank you I got the same truck so I might need that fix someday. And by the way I enjoy all of your videos you're a very smart man and you have taught me alot thanks again
Great vid. First thing I did when I was having trouble starting my 04 was install a fuel pressure gauge which revealed low pressure about 3.5 k psi. I purchased caps and blocked off one line at a time and when I got to the bad injector fuel pressure shot up to 6k and started immediately.I replaced all injectors and it starts easily in all weather. Thanks!
Rich you are the badest, coolest, down to earth guy ever man. You're f*cking smart too. From one mechanic to another you are someone i watch and always learn something new. I always tell my kids, their will always be someone who knows more then you do, and thank them for it, because if you listen to them youll know more too. Thanks man you are great...
This is really helpful. I had a leaky injector and opted to replace all 6 at the same time, now the truck won't start. Going to try your checks and hopefully I can get her started using your approach. Will report back on results.
@@raymondpoteet8920 It turns out Injector #1 was bad, even though they were all brand new injectors. In hindsight, think I may have created the issue by over torqueing the injectors solenoid nuts during the initial install. They should only get torqued to 14 in lbs. and I didn't have a proper torque wrench at the time. Expensive lesson learned, but I'm glad I was able to do the work myself and have a better knowledge on the system/process with the help of this trouble-shooting video. Planning on keeping the truck for decades. No DEF and EGR system to muck it up. Hope this helps and sorry for the late late update.
@@raymondpoteet8920 Sorry for the late response, I purchased the set of new stock injectors from DAP. They were not remanufactured. The one replacement injector was a reman and was purchased from Industrial Injection. I've been meaning to get a new solenoid for the one that was bad. The trucks been going strong since then. I recently installed a Fluidampr harmonic balancer on the crank and its made a noticeable difference on reducing engine vibration through the power band and improved the engine response. Spins up faster than it did with the OEM dampener.
thank you brother for teaching us your wisdom I have 06 dodge 3500 but I don’t have power for intake heather and I replace the wires and the relay please can you help me 🙏
I was recently on a trip out to west Texas in my third GEN 04 Dodge. The number four injector fuel line failed, presumably a stress or fatigue failure. This happened about 6 o’clock in the evening on a Friday night in the middle of nowhere. No start, low fuel. We attempted some lame remedies no avail. (I had no idea about the plug remedy, (did not have one anyway) and I will admit I had no idea of the extreme fuel pressure involved) There was no friend or acquaintance that we knew that could help us within a 3 Hour Drive. We ended up having to settle for a $600 tow and arriving at our destination at about midnight. We eventually obtained the injector line the next day, installed it, and it started right up. I ordered the plugs for my second GEN and third GEN to keep on board for the future. A commentor said that your homemade plug is much better than the store-bought plugs. Could that be true? And if so why?
Not sure if this is 100% true but it worked for me. I was told to use brake clean to try and start a diesel instead of starter fluid or "ether" because brake clean burns slower than ether and you run less of a risk of damaging the rings or piston.
Rich , tell the new owner add a bottle of two oil with every fill up. It helps tremendously with wear on the newer common rail setups . I personally if it were mine would ppump or ve swap and be done with it for reliability.
What company's make complete common rail no hassle fuel systems for the 24v? The reason the common rail systems go out are not because of the lift pump or lack of supply of fuel but the low sulfur fuel and lack of lubrication . This why people swap VE pumps for reliability and p7100 for power. I had no problem finding a VE pump or any of the parts there all right there easily accessible. There all stock items for the most part . I didnt write just oil . I forgot the word stroke obviously.
hey i have a similar problem with my 7.3 idi. no start but a shot of ether (and a charged battery) it starts glad i watched this. I do have a question though how do you know if an injection pump is going? i need injectors but im not sure about the injection pump.
7.3 idi I have had the same problem you need to change you return line injector caps or it's the water in fuel sensor bleeding back your fuel and you get a air pack that will cause that problem.
Great video Rich, I just bought a block off cap, and it ended up being cylinder 2 as well... My question is I'm just going to order one injector where do you recommend I order one from?
Love the video much help to me I'm a new cummins owner so I was just wondering blocking off that line wouldn't that hurt the cylender because of lubrication please forgive me if it sounds like a stupid question but I was raised that there isn't any stupid questions it's all about learning thanks again
I think I just shat myself, someone actually put a real no bullshit diagnostic procedure on TH-cam
Great video yeah! The only bullshit might been some rat chit I saw on the engine block. DEBOSS clearly knows his chit!
As a Cummins technician, I was told to always use the right tool for the job. But that injector line "home made" tool is ingenious compared to the block off tools I use
This Guy is 1000% genuine Free knowledge to The People that's GODLY!!! Thank You Brother!
Nicely done rich!

Hey snow Mexican! Nice to see your fukkin dumass here!
It's like my shit box but less rust and not a manual

I love that your catch pan is an old transmission pan. Awesome video. You're making me want to work on diesels for a living instead.
Girl:"You smell like diesel"
Guy: "yeah well it's low sulphur and only cost a dollar a liter..."
😌👍 yessss

Hi Rich, great info. Thanks!
To make that tool safer, flatten and fold over the end before welding it. Especially at that kind of pressure.
Good Lord have mercy, 11:30 time and you completely diagnosed. You are a gentleman and a scholar sir!
dude my truck i have taken through every mech all said injecters ect u so rock 2 years given her either 1 watch this vid truck runs awsome simple easy instuctions u r awsome thank u so much for yer vidio
Is this even English?
I am so building one of those tools next time I change an injector. Nice video! Thanks.
Got to love home made diagnostic tools. Well done video
Got one to fix for a customer. Friend . And i knew you were the guy to Ask. Thank you
Haha - it's low sulfur and only a dollar a liter. That's great - thanks for showing this, I love these counter intuitive repairs.
My pressure relief valve was bad .
Thanks for the help !
Russell zito what was it doing with the bad prv what symptoms?
Glad I found your channel. Great job. Love the content.
I love all your videos. I just can get enough. Nice job bro...
Thank you I just baught an 2003 and had a ton of problems. So I am going to try this
Your the best. I love your commentary.

hey if the girl im dating knows that i smell like diesel instead of "fuel" or "gasoline" i think im on a good start
Very true!

Awesome video rich. Love when you make vids like this
These are my favorite vids of yours
Thanks for the info! Hope i can figure out my fuel pressure issues now!
AWESOME !!!!! lol wish I had this good of a video back when I replaced my CP3 now (cp3K) LIFTED PUMP now (FASS 150) AND HAD MY STICKS checked out... only replaced 2.

excellent tutorial. good luck with your date!
Keep it going Rich just love da info👍🏽🍺
3:48 Friday night after 3 beers 🍺.
Thank you for the good info! Keep it coming
Completely agree on the lift pumps. My vp was ruined because of the lift pump. I bypassed it and put the fass pump on.
Excellent video very clear! Thanks brother
Quick checks to locate problem........I like it!
Thank you very much for this video I think this is the problem with my truck. Doing the exact same thing, Only starts off a shot of either

nope it won't hurt anything. lubrication is internal via oil.
