Well damm, this isn’t a 07 for sure 🥴 So just reading a few posts down with a 07 but my cc filter is bolted to the valve cover and valve cover gasket has a wiring harness in it and my valve cover has 6 bolts. That’s why I seem to be having issues finding the right info as soon as I see 4 bolts and ccf mounted to the head ??
This job will be almost identical for any 5.9-6.7 Cummins. In 2007.5 they switch to the 6.7 Cummins which is slightly different but still basically the same job.
These common rails are self bleeding. Cycle the key and let the lift pump run a few times and then crank. If it doesn't start, prime again. It might shutoff but do this cycle over until she runs good. You really don't want to manually bleed the rail for safety. Good luck
Yeah definitely not recommend to crack any high pressure line free. Karen Boot has it down. If you turn the key on you will get 2 or 3 seconds of run time but then you bump the starter and you will get 25 seconds of fuel pump run time. I do it like 4 or 5 times and the should lite up no problem! Goo video and appreciate you taking true time to do these vids.
Working on one right now and I’m used to the old VP 44s where you have to bleed each line spent 30 minutes trying to get the front lines to bleed because I could only get the back three to shoot diesel out but after watching this it makes sense because all the air is trapped in a common rail so you only need to crack one line to get the air out I feel kind of dumb but I’m glad I got it figured out
These people talking about stuff they have no idea what they're saying the lift pump in these are not electronic it is all mechanical besides the ECM the lift pump is mounted with the injector pump. It is gear-driven so which means it is only pulling the fuel up and delivering it to the fuel injector pump which overtakes for the lift pump and provides high pressure to the fuel rail so cycling the key multiple times does absolutely nothing to bleed this system now if you had a newer Cummins with a electric lift pump then this would be true.
Just a follow up on installing my new injectors, the whole job took me about 6 hours, I took several breaks being 86 years old, I saved about $2500 doing myself it fired up on the third crank and is running great , no oil leaks, very happy I watched your video. I could not have tried it without your expertise, hope I get many more miles out of it, I tried to attach a video of me working on it..
Im in Alaska and despite some things being on par and even occasionally cheaper than lower 48 (3k tranny rebuild vs 6k in missouri) the average rate is $6500 for injectors, lines and rail....i can get all the parts for 2500. Im saying all this because your comment is reassuring lol. I can't justify spending 4k to pay someone lol
Good video. A couple of things to note. When torqueing the injectors, after the initial 44 inch pounds back them off and go hand tight, torque the fuel supply tube to 11 foot pounds, final torque the injectors and then the fuel supply tubes. The injector has some room to rotate in the hold down. This allows the fuel supply tube to better center the injector. The other thing is do not bleed the high pressure common rail. It can be very dangerous and it is not necessary.
Yes, you skip the bleeding because the common rail fuel system is a self-bleeding system. So, no need to crack an injector line. Like original commenter stated, it can be very dangerous. These injectors, I believe, require a minimum 5,000 psi fuel pressure to pop off and you definitely don’t want that out and about.
Im about to do this on my 5.9 and previously I had a Ford 7.3 that wanted to hydrolock if you didnt clear the cylinder before putting in the new injector. Do I need to be wary of this with the cummins?
Hey brotha, wanted to say thanks! I did an in the truck rebuild…hone, pistons rings, bearings, injectors, head work, etc. and I bet I came back to your video 20 times for advice and guidance! Badass video! I appreciate it! Keep on kicking ass!
Thank you for making this video, very good resource to use while I did injectors tonight on my 04.5 ram 3500. The sequence and order was easy to follow and I appreciate mostly the torque sequence/specs on the injectors/tubes. It made the job go quite smoothly tonight. Much appreciated!
You should definitely change that grid heater to a banks!! I've seen plenty of the grid heater nuts rot out, fall into engine and trashing it. The banks one will not allow this to happen. Just do some research and you will see exactly what I'm talking about, it can save you engine
From what I’ve researched many are saying you don’t need to replace that field tube. I just wanna make sure because I have my injectors but can’t afford the tubes yet but I need to get these injectors changed asap
The only problem that I have with you is that you’re living in Canada and not living next-door to me so that I can have you do work on my truck for me ha ha ha. You do great videos and have giving me a lot of good advice and I really appreciate you thank you.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 2500 5.9L Cummins and right now it sounds more like a tractor but without any power. I will be replacing all of my injectors in the next couple weeks. I'm ordering the injector kit with fuel tubes, fuel lines and gaskets. Very helpful video. hopefully all goes well.
Just did a set of stage 1 BBI injectors In my 2004.5 5.9 cummins and it was a pretty straight forward job , if I can do it in my home garage anyone with the will power and some brains can do this job
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it is very informing and takes the guess work (and stress for the first timers) out of the job. very easy to follow along.
Thank you for the video, will be doing this job with my brother in a few weeks. One question when you put the rockers back on this a need to do a valve adjustment? Thanks
Awesome video! Thanks for doing this! Quick to the point yet can see what's needed. Perfect for me. I'm newer to the diesel world and slowly building up my 03 cummins. Couldn't really get all the details for injectors I needed. This perfect. Thanks again from Wisco!
Dude, thanks for the eddication on the inectors, but I must admit that sticking those wheels out beyound the fenders is not only illegal in many states, but looks so fucking stupid. Guess you out smarted the suspension engineers at Chrysler Corp. Wish I were that brilliant.
Any chance you could tell me what brand of headlights you have on your truck? Awesome looking truck by the way! Great video as well! Thanks in advance!
This video is awesome my local diesel mechanic retired and we didn’t want to take our work trucks to the dealership and my bosses said fix it lol so I called our old local guy he said to do everything in this video and I’ll be as good as him and I’ll be TH-cam diesel certified I’ve always worked on my own vehicle but work trucks are difficult because it used everyday for anything and everything one mistake of out of rocker on wrong it could be a bad day
In process of doing injectors on my 06 5.9. Bores looked clean so lubed injectors dropped in along with feed tubes and torqued with sequence. Should I take back out and scrub holes or leave it. Everything went together perfect
remember in perpendicular its "pounds-inch/foot and for twisting force its foot-pounds. thank you for the spec. 44-89 and 11-37. easy for me to remember
Im having issues with the injector hold down bolts coming loose on a 4th gen. When I took them out 2 or 3 were loose on one side of the plate. I had to go back in due to a faulty injector after a few miles of driving around and found the same problem. Thought about spraying out the bolt holes and using a dab of thread lock. I did install them going back a and forth but it seems odd that some were loose when I went in the first time. thoughts?
My husband has been trying to get them out of 2004 2500 he got 2 out but the others wont come out at all. He tried everything . Can you give us some advice on how to get them out..
On your rocker arm bolts, did you reuse the factory bolts? I tried to reuse them and broke 2 off before they hit final torque. Not sure if that's my doing or if its because they are one time use bolt.
My 07 is hard starting after it gets to temp only and i try to start it up after 20+ minutes. Thinking it is the injectors? Pump is runningproperly with fuel pressure perfect. Great video bro. TY
Never mentioned About Pressure on the fuel rail system to be careful Are telling how to relieve the pressure on the system before loosening the fuel lines
Yeah.. gotta say.. really good and to the point!! The only other thing that I can think of is. While or just before hooking up the lines is possibly flushing// or at least inspection for fuel system contaminates. Just to insure nothing but healthy fuel hits those expensive injectors after all the fun of carefully turning wrenches !! Just a thought.
Awesome video love all the detail for torquing everything down you added do you need to use a tuner after putting new injectors in. I’ll look forward watching more of you videos as well. 👍
Just wanna say thanks for making the video! Big help in my study on how to do this and I'll be keeping it on hand for reference 😂 my new injectors just came in tonight so I'll be doing them sometime this week 👍
Followed your tutorial and replaced all of my injectors on my 06' Dodge 5.9 cummins... now it won't start. I'm sure I'm missing something. When I crack the injector line and crank the engine the fuel doesn't seem to build up pressure although I am getting some air bubbles where I cracked the injector line. Wondering if I'm having fuel pump issues. Any thoughts? Thanks
The cp3 pump is self bleeding.. serious injuries can be caused by cracking injection lines on a common rail diesel. 25,000psi fuel can cut your hand like a laser.
Just curious if I would need to replace all injectors or if I’d be fine just replacing the one bad one? I’ve got a slight miss in mine and I have a feeling it’s one of the injectors

Just had this issue yesterday

I have the same truck as you and same issues 233k miles it started I’m at 235k can’t afford injectors yet nor have an extra wheels.

When you increase the injector output (like 30% over stock) is there any computor reprograming necessary?

Great explanation as you did the work. I feel I can take this task on thanks to you for the excellent video.
Hey Dude,
Man can you come to memphis and change my vt365 motor injectors.
Question though I need to do injectors and that you had to have it set at dead center before moving rockers
I need Cummins injector please how much is it. I'm from Nigeria
Dude, thanks for the eddication on the inectors, but I must admit that sticking those wheels out beyound the fenders is not only illegal in many states, but looks so fucking stupid. Guess you out smarted the suspension engineers at Chrysler Corp. Wish I were that brilliant.
I’m confused, is this a compliment or are you hating on me?
Love the videos! Waiting on that cp3 install video!
Thanks for the great video , I have decided to install new injectors myself, I have great confidence after watching your video seven times.
Haha you got it buddy! Take your time and you’ll be fine. Don’t force anything.
If you want a better injectors in your truck get some From BBI
I know this is old but there is a service bulletin to torque the injector crossover tube nuts to 55ft pounds they cause a leak at 35 or something
Oh good to know. I never had a problem with mine
Great video but you don’t bleed a common rail like an old 12valve.
Very good video. Awesome job.
Did he just pull out Vaseline? 😂😂😂
My cummins only had 1 battery lol
Is it recommended to change your oil after changing injectors?
Great video, I have to do my injectors soon. This definitely helps.
Did you use 6.7 feed tubes ?
I just ordered the ones that they recommend with the injectors from bd diesel
Great video, simple and easy to follow! Can't wait to do my injectors!
Thanks man grest video
I think I might have emailed you awhile ago about an ABS kill switch on my 19 ram classic. Very helpful video!
On the #3 injector tube nut. How do you torque it? That electrical plug is causing me some grief.
Valve lash adjustment?
I just found your channel. I love my old five common rail 5.9 Cummins thank you
It’s not 03-07!!! It 03-04… 04 is different from 04.5
The injectors are a different part number yes but what’s different about the job? Pretty much exactly the same for a 6.7 Cummins too
Thank you ! You made it easy truck now runs sweet again Thank you! Great tutorial.
Do you have a video to adjust the valves on. 07 ram 2500 5.9L ? Mine has a little knocking. Thank you in advance. Billy.

Awesome video love all the detail for torquing everything down you added do you need to use a tuner after putting new injectors in. I’ll look forward watching more of you videos as well. 👍
The dimpled valve rocker goes to the rear So you can’t see them after you put the rocker arm in
And you can reuse injector tubs a couple of times if you want too if you use Bosch oem injectors match
Man I think you have one of the best channels for Cummins, I’m fairly new to the 5.9 world (04 Ram) your channel has been aweosme
how hard is this job? I dont have much mechanical skill but I feel confident. LOL

Very good and detailed. Thank you. I really appreciate you step-by-step explanation.

DALLAS STARS!
did everything like you did cant get pressure any tips?
Great video informative laid it out quite simple looking forward to doing my injectors on my 2006 Cummins keep up the great videos thanks buddy👍
Woow great information thanks now I can do it my self
Thanks for the video. Great job super helpful.

What happens if the push rod keeps falling down the cylinder?
What exhaust do you have? And is that an aftermarket turbo?
Hello my 2003 dodge cummins 5.9 the level of motor oil rises and i was wondering what is the problem with it. And thank you
Fuel in the oil. find the leak or you will have serious engine damage.
I just did mine. Thank you for the detailed video🎉
How many miles are on the truck that you already did the head gasket?
Do have parts number and how much they are
Great video Thank you for sharing
I like this guy cuts all the crap out. gets to the piont ❤
400 thousand k i stil have the same injectors it came with. And it still starts and pulls good. But i use a fuel lube mainly powersaw 2 cycle mix oil
300,000km on these injectors and they were still fine. Only reason for the change was needing the extra power to spool the bigger turbo!
Your videos are great. BD Diesel should pay you.
Anything special you need to do before removing the fuel lines because the sticker on valve cover says that the pressure will cut your finger off.?
I’ve never had an issue. Wear gloves and safety glasses. Slowly loosen the fuel lines and you should be fine.
What is the torque spec on the injector feed tube nut ?
Just curious if I would need to replace all injectors or if I’d be fine just replacing the one bad one? I’ve got a slight miss in mine and I have a feeling it’s one of the injectors
How do you know which one is bad?
Thank you for the video Dark Iron Diesel!
