I hate to laugh at someone else’s misfortune... but gahh damn, the way you stayed so calmly spoken while dealing with your busted injector, and the lack of fuel was pretty funny.
Can't believe you hauled that truck on your trailer! I have the same one, and it was riding on the stops with an SBC-powered Suburban on it. Suspension? We don't need no steenking suspension! If your truck was a 12 valve, you probably could have poured the Rubbermaid tote full of crankcase oil/fuel right into your gas tank and made it home without a fill up. Props for figuring it out and making it back home.
So I hear the largest Hadron Collider is experiencing problems. Give them a call. Absolutely amazing skillset. I've never seen anyone say things like "I'll worry about that later" and then just do it (was in another video). I sit and think about it like it's a chess game but you just "ho-hum... what's next?" You did inspire me to build my own front winch bumper for my '06 Cummins. Came out very good IMO given it was my first try. Got many nice comments on it but man you make everything look so easy.
Yah your friggen awesome. You are very mechanical inclined and motivated to get shit done. #goodO’Lcanadianboys. LMAO crazy but good idea/no other way. Taking the oil out of the 4th gen. EPIC
As a 1st gen cummins owner for many years, I've enjoyed the simplicity of that generation. Very rarely does something go wrong but when it does, it's usually something I can fix on the road. after watching your video and seeing how you were able to get your rig running, I'm not as scared of adding a later gen cummins to my collection one day. Great video!
One of the best videos I have seen on your channel. Been here for a good while. And watch them all. I have learned alot also. Love your attitude and wish I was mechanically inclined as you. Not too many young people such as you are able to do things like you do. Take care bud.
If you ever decide to make some more content i know im interested for sure, I grew up in a family of welders and I still somehow love fabrication and just learning constantly, I've learned ( in my 30s) it's that you can never learn to much haha❤😊
no big deal. just doin a quick injector job on the side of the highway! lol. gotta love the cummins though. wouldn't have been the same video if it were a powerstroke
It's a good thing Cummins are easy to work on or you would've been screwed I would do a deck for the mega cab make a new number and exhuasg and tune it that's just what I would do
Like the video? Dude, I loved it! Cool adventure and good job diagnosing the situation. Unfortunately the wind picked up but at least the rain went away. I thought it was funny how you borrowed the oil from the mega cab to get home. I was waiting for you to borrow fuel. Nice job man🙃
Sounds like a trip I would have!! I haven’t had a injector do that but had the number 3 injector line go bad more then once. After the second one going bad a spare was placed under the seat. Cause even in the states you can be left stranded miles from Cummins parts!! Great video glad to hear you were able to make it home with out hurting the old truck!
Oddly enough, I have built the big block cummins over the years and the last one was in a little dozer with the twelve valve and so to convert a automotive to a equipment type ( i can't get my head to call out stuff right) I swapped heads and built injectors out of the two to make one, then swapping the pump is pretty straight forward but you have to use the timing case as well so the pump fits and then they time totally different as you know, all in all, it took me eight hours to swap all the stuff around and roll new bearings plus rings making one engine out of two. It hit after a few rolls to get the prim all around.... Oh, I was 68 at the time and working with a broken back. I'm 72 now but for me the big block is so much easier to do the work on. I like them and the 466 international engines for all around easy to work on.
Not letting anything slow you down.... Bad injector in the middle of no where... No problem, got a spare in my pocket.. True mechanic that knows his truck well...
i carry block off plugs for the common rail engines after being stranded along side the highway when an injector went bad. i would have done the same thing with the oil...drain out that diesel diluted oil and use the oil from the new truck. i know it sucked doing that along side the road but looks like the good old cummins wasnt hurt at all!
Awesome video that was a close call, always love the videos. I hate that damn wind though outside on the camera but I'm not complaining, keep up the good work!! 👍👍💯 Did anyone even stop to see if you needed help? People these days...smh
Here I was being proud of myself for having swapped a lift pump out on the side of the road on my '03 Cummins (filter mounted, not in tank, obviously). Just goes to show it pays to have skills, tools, and spares with you. Nicely done.
You are hard core 😳 the truck sounded like it had a knock after you fixed 5. I have a 06 5.9 in the original owner. It went 220,000 stock. Now it has my retirement into it. Honestly cool stuff makes trucks suck!!! Are race shop is next door to fleece performance they are great dudes and always bail me out when I fuck my own shit up trying to do everything my self. It’s crazy how easy it is to mess up a great truck now days
Atleast your able to do the job on the side of the road nice work love both trucks looking for new one to bad your so far away lol keep the vids comming
I’m an HD mechanic, this was very entertaining, you have a good attitude. Another way to check is to check for low exhaust plenum temperature with an infrared gun or the old hotrodders trick use a plastic water bottle with a little hole in the lid, shoot water on the plenums while running. Not sure if diesel EGTs run hot enough but the water sizzles on the good cylinders on gas jobbers.
That wouldn't work in this situation since all injectors where still firing normally as they should. Better way to find the issue would have been cap each injector off from the rail but I didn't have a cap with me. I considered pulling an injector line from the megacab, cutting it in half and welding it up to build my own cap but decided to just swap 1 by 1 instead.
Crazy ass road trips are a great learning experience. Been there done that. If I was running out of diesel and still had all that “oil”, that would be in the tank.
I did the dash lights on my 03 too. Ended up being the board, it's too loose to hold the bulbs correctly. They rattle just out of the contacts. Ended up having to solder them in.
If that was a Ford you would've had to take the front of the truck and cab off just to change the air filter,and still lost a finger because of the air filter housing being such a piece, anyhow great video!
Damn dude hell of a trip, been there done that - not an injector though lmao. And, you coulda sent a feeler out on your channel or something for a little help if you needed it. I'm just north of edmonton if you're ever this way and crap hits the fan.
What a road trip. Good thing you had a spare injector and a extra truck with you. I was waiting for “now I’m draining the fuel out of the 4th gen cause I ran out”. What is the length on that trailer also the weight capacity?
I carry a injector block off tool/cap in both my trucks for this very reason haha a buddy had this happen and lucky for him i was close so I could run to him and test which one went bad and swap it haha thankfully he got off an exit and into a parkinglot haha but glad you ended up getting home but a block off tool is only a couple bucks so its worth keeping on you in the glove box or center console or etc❤
I got a 99 dodge, fass pump, edge tunner, banks high ram, ect ect , what injectors can I safely bump up to for daily driver and mild towing. I usually run the edge on 3
This video reminded me when i was towing my megacab with a blown trans lost my turbo had a spare swaped it on and then a hour more into my drive I lost 3 of my injectors...... go figure.
If you would’ve noticed any bearing material in the oil filter your motor would’ve been shot. Injectors go to your piston directly the only way to the oil pan is through the piston. Not a bad job, for next time it’s usually the 5th or 6th injector that goes in the Cummins.
Man you lucked out good thing you found out what injector was bad nice 4th gen by the way had a question to ask you how can I get that program that you had on your computer so I can monitor my truck better thanks bud appreciate all the videos thanks for sharing your knowledge
Watching these is like reading an old western...adventure and drama all in one. Lol...
tony bergosh and the fact he trouble shot and repaired an injector during the night.
I know it is pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@Tripp Justice try flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Immanuel Wallace Definitely, have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself :)
@Immanuel Wallace thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!!
roadside injector-ectomy...outstanding! Great attitude!
Way to think under pressure!
I hate to laugh at someone else’s misfortune... but gahh damn, the way you stayed so calmly spoken while dealing with your busted injector, and the lack of fuel was pretty funny.
This guy is a complete diesel wizard
Can't believe you hauled that truck on your trailer! I have the same one, and it was riding on the stops with an SBC-powered Suburban on it. Suspension? We don't need no steenking suspension! If your truck was a 12 valve, you probably could have poured the Rubbermaid tote full of crankcase oil/fuel right into your gas tank and made it home without a fill up.

Common rail would run great on that diesel oil too, If I had better filtration id have no problem running that.
So I hear the largest Hadron Collider is experiencing problems.
Give them a call.
Absolutely amazing skillset. I've never seen anyone say things like
"I'll worry about that later" and then just do it (was in another video).

Could do a video series of long boxing the mega cab, or a manual transmission swap would make a cool one too.
Long bed single rear wheel no dually on the Mega
TrollMaster300 why mega cabs look better dually
Kudos to you that's a real technician adapt and overcome. Most don't know which end is up.
Your luck is almost as bad as mine. Good on you for being able to do an epic roadside repair.
Cool vid. The makers of that trailer probably didn't foresee anyone hauling a one ton diesel truck on it haha.
one ton?
@@29031994290 3500 = one ton weight rating. Obviously the truck weighs more than one ton.
@@TheGeekwad i dont know what is this rating. is it for the bed?
@@29031994290 1500 = 1/2 ton, 2500 = 3/4 ton and 3500 = 1 ton. Sorry you didn’t have a father figure to teach you that.
@@elderfarms my father taught me to be curious and learn everyday, thats why I asked a question. he also taught me how to beat up bullies
Man what a adventure road trip ! But you made it well 😅👍🏻 cool that you have a 4th gen now !
Can't beat a cummins
Cummins Chevy hell yeah Chevy 😬💪🏻
Wow! Well, at least it wasn't in the middle of winter!

powerstroke wouldn't have left you on the side of the road
@@xtune5731 wouldn't have made it out of the driveway.
@@bucaru1 lmao
Helluva a trip. Awesome you fixed it and drove it home with oil from the other truck.
I have a 2004 5.9 common rail, bought it with 27k on it; now has 60k. Your videos always reassure me I made the right choice when I bought my truck
It's a good thing Cummins are easy to work on or you would've been screwed
I would do a deck for the mega cab make a new number and exhuasg and tune it that's just what I would do
Thanks for taking the time to share
I love the level of diy you go to. Always gives me inspiration to tear apart my 5.9
Like the video? Dude, I loved it! Cool adventure and good job diagnosing the situation. Unfortunately the wind picked up but at least the rain went away. I thought it was funny how you borrowed the oil from the mega cab to get home. I was waiting for you to borrow fuel. Nice job man🙃
Almost had to borrow fuel! So surprised i made it.

Good job on the injector diagnosis, but thats why I like my 2nd Gen Dodge and my P Pumped cummins powered Super Duty !! All Mechanical !
Heck of a trip glad you made it back just goes to show what know how will do and I love the mega cabs with the short box nice find
i carry block off plugs for the common rail engines after being stranded along side the highway when an injector went bad. i would have done the same thing with the oil...drain out that diesel diluted oil and use the oil from the new truck. i know it sucked doing that along side the road but looks like the good old cummins wasnt hurt at all!
Good job buddy! Excited to see the 68rfe rebuild. I run an 08'
Dude you're a heck of a mechanic man... that was epic
Great field fix and use of roadside resources!!
Nicely done sir. Sure lucky you had the spare sitting in the glove box.
thats ingenuity for ya ,nice work
Sounds like a trip that would happen to myself 😂😂😂 creates memories though👌🏻👌🏻
Awesome video that was a close call, always love the videos. I hate that damn wind though outside on the camera but I'm not complaining, keep up the good work!! 👍👍💯
Did anyone even stop to see if you needed help? People these days...smh
Nope not one person stopped lol
Of course, I'm not suprised.. I would have stopped for you brother. #dodgelife
By far your best video sir! You will go far with your calm demeanor and get it done attitude. Thanks very much. Keep up the good work.
Here I was being proud of myself for having swapped a lift pump out on the side of the road on my '03 Cummins (filter mounted, not in tank, obviously). Just goes to show it pays to have skills, tools, and spares with you. Nicely done.
So resourceful and levelheaded. Awesome dude. Very inspiring.
Like the half eaten cookie on the bench with the injector. 👌
Man....super impressive...your skill set....love the videos...thanks
amazing roadside troubleshooting and resolution. keep posting!

You got skills for sure.
You literally got’r done there buds lol that’s a crazy night you had for sure... some used old oil is better then diesel oil for sure
That cant be just a reg cookie sitting there, or you eat like a chipmunk. I'd bet it's one of those good cookies lol
Cummins are reliable can't believe you made it to the fuel station
In the 2nd gens, you still have like 1/8 of a tank when the light comes on. Not sure about 3rd gen
One thing that Ive learned from this guy is when shit hits the fan to remain calm i def need to apply dat more into my life
At least you had your tools and computer with you. Great video as usual!
Glad you’re all good .. I’d have no idea what to do without a computer lol
I’m an HD mechanic, this was very entertaining, you have a good attitude.

You gotta be tough when you venture over here into Alberta! LOL That was a nightmarish ordeal holy cow!
Crazy ass road trips are a great learning experience. Been there done that. If I was running out of diesel and still had all that “oil”, that would be in the tank.
Woulda stole fuel from the megacab if i didn't make it. Stock filter not good enough to run that old diesel oil.
Good job on side of the road repair
I did the dash lights on my 03 too. Ended up being the board, it's too loose to hold the bulbs correctly. They rattle just out of the contacts. Ended up having to solder them in.
Love the cookie 🍪 on the work bench my garage for sure
lol
Good job man.👍
It's a wonderful thing when you can fix your own stuff. I sucks you had to do it at the side of the highway.
This is cummins life right here, we live an oddly similar life haha
Your awesome at what you do
On the up side of your adventure the innards are really clean! lol
Your a beast.
Keep up the good work.
Been using my connector tubes on my 99 for 466,000 miles I just sand paper groves away and keep on rocking, or whatever that music is
Well done / enjoyed watching :)
Truly renaissance man
If that was a Ford you would've had to take the front of the truck and cab off just to change the air filter,and still lost a finger because of the air filter housing being such a piece, anyhow great video!
Bro just watched your vid. You deserve a sub and i aint talkin about a sandwich! Subscibed!
Ah hell yeah I wanna see more shit like that.
Damn dude hell of a trip, been there done that - not an injector though lmao.
And, you coulda sent a feeler out on your channel or something for a little help if you needed it. I'm just north of edmonton if you're ever this way and crap hits the fan.
Man your videos are so entertaining.
nice video man!! i have the cummins 2d gen, and my VP44 pump is been failing, im starting to mentally prepared for it to leave me stranded..
Bad ass fix on the road bud
Only a guy with ur knowlege and know how coulda pulled that off! Awesome job bud. Really thought u was fixin to rob tha fuel from tha megacab too lmao
Keep up the great work! Love the videos
You are the 6.7 master tech .i would have been dead in the water .lucky you had tools and spare nozzle .
I wish I was this calm with my problems
Hey excellent trip and on the road repair video. The injector is one of the original. You can probably change out injectors with your eyes closed.
#5 was done with my eyes closed lol was too dark to see anything at that point.
i like how you have a cookie sitting on your tool box
Pleaaase do an in depth rebuild on the 68! Would love to know how to rebuild mine when it goes.
I will be doing one next week when parts show up!
killere56 put an allison in it and you won't have to be saying "when it goes"
Ever since I watched this, I cant get that Flexgang tune outa my head that starts at the 1:06 mark haha
What a road trip. Good thing you had a spare injector and a extra truck with you. I was waiting for “now I’m draining the fuel out of the 4th gen cause I ran out”. What is the length on that trailer also the weight capacity?
jaydotseedot glad I wasn’t only one thinking about that lol
160 inch wheel base which is 13.3 feet. My guess is a 16 foot trailer.
Love the vids keep it up wish I knew you broke down I'm from red deer would have given a guy a hand
I carry a injector block off tool/cap in both my trucks for this very reason haha a buddy had this happen and lucky for him i was close so I could run to him and test which one went bad and swap it haha thankfully he got off an exit and into a parkinglot haha but glad you ended up getting home but a block off tool is only a couple bucks so its worth keeping on you in the glove box or center console or etc❤
I felt the pain when you were low on diesel lol
Dude you rock I have an 09 I’m interested in seeing what you come up with
Great job getting that figured out! Hell yeah, also, do you do tuning for 98.5 24v??
well done
my 6.0 did this in florida when i was 1200 miles away
I got a 99 dodge, fass pump, edge tunner, banks high ram, ect ect , what injectors can I safely bump up to for daily driver and mild towing. I usually run the edge on 3
Has a rebuilt vp , or should I just leave it alone. It's a Mexican block motor, not a 53 100k miles
Respect u didn’t flip out ur toe mirrors even though ur towing
Wtf if he flipped em out so what... there's no problem with that you fucking poser.
This video reminded me when i was towing my megacab with a blown trans lost my turbo had a spare swaped it on and then a hour more into my drive I lost 3 of my injectors...... go figure.
thats annoying!
6 inch lift. Deleted, and a off road deck.. hell yes.
Awesome bud
Had I good time with u brother hope will see you soon
thanks again for the help homie!
If you would’ve noticed any bearing material in the oil filter your motor would’ve been shot. Injectors go to your piston directly the only way to the oil pan is through the piston. Not a bad job, for next time it’s usually the 5th or 6th injector that goes in the Cummins.
What program are you running on that laptop? That sure did help you figure out which injector wasn't working properly.
Hp tuners
Boss shit there my friend!!
Man you lucked out good thing you found out what injector was bad nice 4th gen by the way had a question to ask you how can I get that program that you had on your computer so I can monitor my truck better thanks bud appreciate all the videos thanks for sharing your knowledge
Awesome Tow Rig i have a 16ft Flat Bed similar to your trailer Good Trailer Hauls Anything i need and Makes Money
