Best instructional video I have ever seen. Quick and to the point easy to reference while I'm actually working on my project. Great job and thank you!
Is it necessary to replace any gaskets?
Appreciate your time making these videos. Extremely helpful.
Always happy to help share some knowledge. Thanks James for watching and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe
Simple, well done video, without a lot of bs
Great video, short right to the necessary info. Thanks for posting!!!
I love your videos ! It makes it so easy for me to work on my 08 Ram 3500 Dually !
Thanks for the video; fixed #6 today; had to be that one way on the back but I got it done and your video's really helped.
Glad that I could help. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Great explanation and visual aid man!
Excellent video!!! Saved me thousands.
Awesome informative video! Great job!
I used lockon pliers and a pry bar to pull out the injector against the fire wall. Wish I would have done the other five this way.
Another fantastic video thank you
Much appreciated Darrin! Always great to get feedback on the videos. Make sure to enjoy your weekend!
Awesome video! Going to start doing mine tomorrow
Thanks Kevin! Appreciate the feedback and take your time....you shouldnt have any issues. Subscribe and check out my other videos.
I’ve watched other videos and they suggest checking the fuel link is centered into the injectors. An important missed step in this video. Also you didn’t mention lubing the o-rings. Thanks for the informational video, I suggest numerous videos before doing the job, but this is a good one to watch.
He says to lube the new orings
Thanks again for the info
Very much appreciated
Any time!
After seeing this, I think I'm ready to make the switch from powerstroke to cummins 😂 I love my 6.0 and the 300k miles it has served me so far, but replacing anything under the valve covers is a real chore with everything thats stacked on top of the engine in the bay. Inline 6 just looks so simple compared to a V8
Nothing like a straight 6! So Cummins is the way to go in my opinion
Thank you you are so very helpful I really appreciate your video and the time to show us how is properly done God bless you 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
I’m kinda mechanically inclined and I’ve been wanting to do a injector replacement by myself but I wish you show this process since you start removing the valve cover and the fuel line and all the stuff that need to be removed to get to the injector.
If you can't get this far on your own, don't do it
Excellent job!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. Make sure to subscribe
Thanks for the tip
Much appreciated
Your welcome.
Great video thanks for making it
Thank you for watching it. Without viewers....there would be no need to make videos. Subscribe and check out my other videos.
Thanks!!! Great video/info.
Much appreciated Michael! Make sure to subscribe!
Thanks man, swapped my #6 (that was aweful) based on your video. 'Prishate it!
Your welcome. Thanks for finding and for watching the video!
Thank you God bless I needed this video
awesome video...I think this might be my issue for code 0200 thanks
I thought a 6.0h powerstroke was easy to work on. Good video.
Nothing like a straight 6! Lots of room for activities!
Que bueno amigo
Make sure the injector port is facing the tube port so they mate up, You can install the injector with the port off 180 degress
Hey great video and simple,,, what's the torque specs for the rocking arm
Great Video, Got any advice for the #6 Injector? That one scares me, do you really need to remove the crash bracket back behind the head ?
thank for video
Your welcome. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
MotorCity Mechanic was about to pay 250 for this. looks like I can do it myself
My dad tried replacing them and the dam thing won’t pump fuel. I’m gonna try and take out the new injectors see if they’re broken and try reinstalling them. Hopefully it doesn’t die on us.
Do you need to remove all the oil the take out the injectors?? Thanks good video I’m try to do this job for my self
My 5.9 common rail engine has a cold start misfire below about 40-45deg ambient air temp. The exhaust port remains cold on #1. #1 will eventually fire. The engine does not misfire once off idle if it is warmed a bit. Can I swap out #1 or should there be some diagnostic testing done first? Thanks
I subscribed and have a broader general question if I may ask.....
On a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9, with 292k miles on it, automatic trans, what might I be looking at that might need to be either repaired or replaced on the engine, and or transmission?
For the most part you have just routine maintenance items. Otherwise nothing that I would say that needs replacing just based on mileage. Only fluid changes and visual inspections on items such as brakes and seals.
What is the torqe spec when putting the rocker arms back on?
Is it better to use 6-7 injection tube or is this just hope. The day the move your fuel a lot better or is just hype from internet. They are same price so no gain for them to do this so what do you think of the better feed tubes and it is just for somebody, personally that needs some thing diffrent to make my truck camper. Let me know what you think for add as the better flow tubes they are same price to me if Iam looking any thing or a simple up date on new injectors just to make for a little better more power for some of the trucks that need that little dot that says you have a 6 hp in your turbo ?
My 04 5.9 starts fine but idles a little rough. Once you out it into drive and presses the accelerator it takes off on its own ( power surge) and I have to slip it back into neutral and hit the brake to bring the rpms back down. What's causing this problem ?
i hope you see my question ... i have an 03 cummins , having not start problems . sometimes i go days without a problem .. other days it happens all day . its been to 2 different shops . With three different diagnoses. If I brought it to the dealer would they be able to hook it up to a computer and tell exactly what it injectors are good or bad?? it has a new cp3 and lifted pump . when the truck doesn't want to start it will fire with starting fluid.. Also I've unplugged the FCA and the truck will start.. thank you for your help .
+Brian Lau I recommend first removing the FCA and spraying it with wd40. Then reinstall and see what affect over time. Its important to monitor the fuel pressure with a scanner to see what the rail pressure is. This can point towards a FCA issue. Its not common but I have seen that before. As far as the injectors. Unless you have a check engine light and code for a cylinder misfire or injector circuit test.....you would have to perform an injector kill test to see if any cylinder isn't affected as far as the way the engine feels. These are a few of the needed steps. It will most likely will take some diag to narrow the issue and most importantly the issue needs to be happening inorder to get an accurate diag. I have a FCA replacement video incase you haven't seen it already. th-cam.com/video/5ZpR7DxM4XA/w-d-xo.html . Thanks for watching and make sure to subcribe
thanks .. i have watched it .. i have no codes . and the fca was replaced with the new cp3 .. should i try cleaning it ? I'm willing to take the truck to the dealer , but only if they have the ability to pinpoint which injectors bad.? It's a $165 diagnosis . the other shops gave me some B.S. about my Engine coolant temperature sensor being bad and that's causing the problem.. well i fixed that and still same issues . another waiting to take the fuel system apart , and reassemble . thinking that would fix it .. thanks for your time
Brian Lau what was the outcome on your no start, injectors?
At 1:26 do you have to remove those exhaust valve and at 1:39 do you have to remove the bridge
Does the manual for this really specify torques in inch/lbs *AND* ft/lbs? My dad made the mistake of watching this instead of turning to his manual and now I'm mad as hell.
Inch/lbs and ft/lbs are used....ft/lb torque wrenches can not go down low enough in some cases and thats when in/lbs are used.....especially for smaller bolts like the 8mm bolts that hold the injector down. So you will be using both in this repair. Thats also the info directly from the factory Chrysler service manual. If you like I would be more then welling to email you that exact service procedure with those specs if it helps with the confusion.
I'm new to diesels and I'm buying an 04' with a 5.9 Cummins.
Should it need injectors somewhere down the line, is it more advisable to buy new stock injectors or remanufactured ones?
+Chief60 Evening, when it comes to injectors....either will work fine. I have the most faith in the OEM if given a choice but haven't had issues with aftermarket so far either. Thanks for the question. Make sure to subscribe
When putting the rocker assembly back on do you have to adjust the lash?
You should. But you dont necessarily have to, while you're in there you may as well run the overhead.
I’ve got an 05 that’s smoking black fuel smoke everytime I hit the accelerator. I put new injectors in it. Ever seen this? I need some help.
Do you think the Cummins 5.9 is an awesome motor or is it just another motor to you?
The 5.9 is great and the 6.7 would be too without all the emission related items. Can’t beat a straight 6
I was a Chevy guy but when I wanted a diesel the 5.9 made me a Dodge guy. Now I'm a Honda/Toyota guy....
How can I get the fuel out of the cylinder that hydolocked from the bad injector
What's the Tourqe spec for the rocker arms
Anything on this?
27 fps - just looked it up.
how do you know if the injector or injectors are bad or need replaced
The electrical portion can be bad which usually you can measure the resistance of. The mechanical portion is tested by performing an injector return flow test. There are other tests as well which require a good amount of time to run.
Do the valves have to be adjusted?
Being that everything is taken off as far as the valve cover.....I recommend doing if the mileage is at 100k or every 100k from there. Otherwise I see no reason to when replacing an injector.
Does the engine have to be at top dead center ???
Not at all. Makes no difference when performing the replacement. Thanks for watching and for asking. Subscribe and check out my other videos.
Do you have a video of injector replacement on a newer 6.7? 2014
06 5.9
Code p1222. I've heard that my injectors are bad. Is there a way to see if only 1 needs to be replaced?
(Yes) but you you need to block off injector or injectors then do an injector return flow test. Too see which injector or injectors is returning the most fuel.
Is there any difference between the 03 & 04 injector on a 5.9 cummins
Not until 04.5
What a minute... did you say 19mm ends followed by a 15/16ths nut that goes directly into the head? I guess the question is are there both standard and metric fittings needed to do this job? Sorry if that's a dumbass noob question. :)
So simple but so expensive
Very true. Thanks for watching
Yeah this much easier that the duramax smh
You skipped over the part where you spent an hour trying to get the fuel line free without destroying it.
Don’t remember it going down like that……
@@MotorCityMechanic I jest. That truck you had in the vireo was super clean, either newer or not from the rust belt like mine.
@@fahrvergnuugen luckily most vehicles that show up at the dealership don’t have crazy miles and being in Georgia….not many issues like rust or corrosion like in some parts if the country…..I feel sorry for those techs up north
hi i have a dodge ram 2500 2005 5.9 cummins and out of nowhere my engine shut off and no lights showed up on my dadh board or anything? I drive the truck alittle because i don't trust it no more?Can you please help me to see what it is thank you?
el rayo you must clean all the electric connections takes time but totally worth it
I have always liked watching your videos but I think you kind of rushed this job. Where did you clean out the injector hole bore? I have never seen it where a bunch of carbon didn't fall off and sit on the head. This needs to be blown out with air and verify its clean before installing or you risk compression loss. Also removing the intake valve was a wasted step. I also like to make sure my rocker arm is loose before I remove it.
