Most likely you have an injector that is bad. First thing to do is check your lift pump pressure at the injection pump and check your fuel filter. Also you will want to check your oil pan to see if you have diesel fuel inside of it.
What a lifesaver!!!!!!!!!!! We had a 05 with a new cracked head. The tech that took it apart quit before the head came back from the M.S. Watched your video and it went back together quick. Great job and great cam work. G and T Auto & Truck Repair.
Video was EXTREMELY helpful...with one exception...I think you should make it clear that there is NO need to remove the bolt connecting to the push rods...this adds A LOT more headache and time to your project...LOL yes...I did this...and now i have to reset ALL my valve spacing...AAAHHH oh well it probably needed to be checked out anyways. Thanks again for the great video...now i just need to find a video on "how to lash'...cant seem to find how to roll the motor over to set the lashing
Awesome video....I have an 05 5.9...Have an injector o ring that is leaking fuel into the oil....Your vid has given me some insight into what I might be getting into....Thanks again!!!!!!!
very helpful video, well explained, looks like it may be a little more than I would want to try.. At least I know what the shop will do. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
i'd like to see the video of removing the fuel rail. my dodge must be the redheaded step child. it has the lifting eye bracket at number 5, and number 6 has the safety plate rite behind it. pia to remove due to no clearance between block and firewall.
Remove the lifting bracket if you haven’t already, should get you some room. Stubby wrenches are your friend and make sure you use a wrench to hold the feed tube nut.
@@thoroughbreddiesel Yeah I got the lifting bracket couple of days ago. There seems to be another bracket on the rear which seems to be in the way of fitting a socket to remove the injector tube. Not sure if there is anyway to remove the injector tube with that rear bracket. Maybe with a wrench but not a socket. That is what I’m struggling with is that last bracket on the rear of the engine.
I have an 06 with 200,000 that had #5 injector just go bad/open circuit. Ohm meter confirmed its injector.. 4.0 ohms. I replaced all 6 about 2015 with 140,000 on it, but I was a cheap dumbass who didn't replace the connector tubes. Seemed to run fine though. About 2019 I installed an air dog system on it. Anyways, along with ordering new injector, I ordered 6 new connector tubes. How would you recommend I install them on the other 5 good injectors? Leave injectors hold down and just R&R tubes? Loosen injectors hold down then install tubes?
you always change the cross over feed tubes. sorta shotty work. also you never push on the solenoid on the injector, use a 15/16 socket to push on the middle part of the injector. also never mentioned the tourqe sequence to allow no leakage at the injector and feed tube. its hard to seal 20 thou psi when the surfaces r not sealed.
Hi, since the rocker arm needs to be removed to replace injector, I am doing all 6 injectors as well. should I get done with one injector at a time and also adjust the OHV before moving on to the next injector/cylinder? thank you.
Do y'all have a video on how to run the overhead on these engines? If not, if y'all could make one it would be greatly appreciated. What are the best larger than stock injectors? Thanks- Keith
I have 2004.5 Dodge 3500 with the Cummins. When I went to check and adjust the valve lash there was a spring attached to the bottom side of the valve cover. The spring was broke. Didn't reinstall due to being broke. Everything I have read states it is a ground spring. Does this spring need to be replaced with a new one?
@@thoroughbreddiesel i was wondering the same thing, since in the fuel filter replacement video you mentioned at the end not to open a fuel injector line or something like that without depressurization or is that only when it’s running?
Would this be the same process if I was wanting to install 370's? And is a 505 more than 370? And if I was to install them, how would you make sure that the feed hole is in the direction of the feed tube? ( 3:56 )
Honestly, with the age of the truck, you would be better off to replace all six. Both for peace of mind and also for less confusion with warranty situations.

Great video. I have an 06 which after passing acceleration on the highway went into a rough running kind of limp mode where it will only run 50-55mph or so. It idles rough now. Very low power. Did battery disconnect and it still has the problem. Giving code P0204. First time it happened we changed the valve cover gasket. That was a week or two ago. Now problem back. Any ideas?
Lol it does not take hours to remove a injector.Once the feed tubes come out and the head cover is off it doesnt take that long.Have you ever worked on a powerstroke 6.4s most have to take the cab off witch takes about 5hrs not including injectors yet.Inline diesels are the easiest to do.
"4 to 8 hours". About 1.5 hours for removal, same back together is 3 hours. Another hour to run an overhead and you got 4 hours. Now if shits stuck or breaks you're adding time. Also remember this is shop time, if the overhead takes 35 minutes that's an hour. If the job takes 4h40m that's 5 hours

This is an excellent video with the fine details that all the other videos I've seen do not include.
Great vid!! Quick and to the point. really helps understand the process! Thanks
Matt Harbidge Good to hear. Check out some of our other videos.
Awesome video....I have an 05 5.9...Have an injector o ring that is leaking fuel into the oil....Your vid has given me some insight into what I might be getting into....Thanks again!!!!!!!
Great video. I got a 06 cummins and was wanting to change mine out. Thought it was a lot worse than that.
So you don't replace the rubber O-ring on the injector hold down tube ?
The feed tube, if that’s what you are referring to, should be replace anytime the injectors are removed or replaced. Then you get a new O-ring anyway.
I just replaced that #4 injector line today in my 06.

Remove the lifting bracket if you haven’t already, should get you some room. Stubby wrenches are your friend and make sure you use a wrench to hold the feed tube nut.

thanks to you all for this video...dusty akers on the road repairs okanagan valley bc
I was told the feed tubes are supposed to be a crush fit and had to be torqued to a spec. They didnt say a word about that

Great job explaining!!! Helped a bunch on my first injector install
Your welcome! :)
besides adjustment on valves injectors don't have to be adjusted just valves? good video help a lot thanks wait for your answer thanks again
What if I bought a brand new Bosch injector and after install that brand new injector is flooding the cylinder?
you always change the cross over feed tubes. sorta shotty work. also you never push on the solenoid on the injector, use a 15/16 socket to push on the middle part of the injector. also never mentioned the tourqe sequence to allow no leakage at the injector and feed tube. its hard to seal 20 thou psi when the surfaces r not sealed.
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?
It's much easier if you remove the lifting bracket to remove.
AWESOME video .. short and very informative 😎😎
Thanks!
Do 07 5.9 injectors need to be reprogrammed after replacement?
Video on valve adjustments please!
Hi, since the rocker arm needs to be removed to replace injector, I am doing all 6 injectors as well. should I get done with one injector at a time and also adjust the OHV before moving on to the next injector/cylinder? thank you.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

You are correct, it is a ground spring and we do suggest replacing it.
Awesome video!! thanks so much for making it!
YW! :)
Could the wires connect any side?? or there is neg and pos??
Do 2005 Cummins injectors need to be coded?
When you change out a injector on a 5.9 2006 cummins do you have to use a scan tool to enter a new code in the Ecm
No, on the 2003-2007 5.9 trucks, there are no trim codes.
Excellent video, wow!! Thank you Sir!!!!
Thanks!
A very helpful video!!
Glad it was helpful!
How tight r u suppose to tighten the rocker arms?
Do you have to put the engine on TDC before starting the injector removal ???
No. TDC only comes into play when you need to adjust valve lash
What is a fair price for this work
what is the thread size on the feed tube? I don't want to buy that removal tool, it looks like it pops out fairly easily
I want to know if there are any tips to accessing injector 5 and 6. Are these harder to get to?
also wondering this, yes they are harder
Remove the engine lifting bracket and use stubby wrenches.
How do u depressurize the commonrail?
There won’t be any pressure on the lines when the vehicle is not running.
@@thoroughbreddiesel i was wondering the same thing, since in the fuel filter replacement video you mentioned at the end not to open a fuel injector line or something like that without depressurization or is that only when it’s running?
How much should i expect to pay for a job like that?
What is the removal tool. A snap on J149? I tried looking for I and couldn't find it
my is overflow is stANdard but cp3 line is ON driver side of fuel rail not head side or passanger side
very informative and help full. Thanks
Would this be the same process if I was wanting to install 370's? And is a 505 more than 370? And if I was to install them, how would you make sure that the feed hole is in the direction of the feed tube? ( 3:56 )
I have a 2004.5 if I have two bad injectors do I need to replace all 6 or can I just do 2? thanks
Honestly, with the age of the truck, you would be better off to replace all six. Both for peace of mind and also for less confusion with warranty situations.
+Thoroughbred Diesel it only has 120k miles...
Garth Leavens That’s low mileage for age. I still would do all six and start fresh.
How does bad injectors cause too high egt?
Overfueling.
what are the torque specs for the rocker arm bolts that were removed during the install?
+Leedell Scott Jr Rocker Arm bolts are 27 ft lbs.
+Thoroughbred Diesel Thanks
+Thoroughbred Diesel What is the torque specs for the nuts for the electrical connections on the injectors?
+Patrick Kanatzer 13 inch lbs. Which is not much more than finger tight. Very important not to over tighten because stretching the terminal can affect the electrical travel in the solenoid.
Very helpful video!
thanks fellas i believe i can do this
+Vaughndeuce We have faith in you! Go get 'em!
+Vaughndeuce how'd it go?
great vid buddy .
do you not have to input the serial # of each injector for the 05 into the computer?
To remove the #1 injector feed tube do u have to remove the hole rail?
No, just the injector line.
Thank u so much Thanks to ur videos I changed #1 / #3 injectors ... Not bad for a woman lol
Awesome! We are glad the video helped you out.
Do y'all have a video on how to change fan clutch? :)
i pulled out my connecting tubes out by hand no special tool
Would like to have seen the procedure for torquing the injector hold down bolts. Great video otherwise.

RadicalRC ever figure out the problem? My truck is doing the same thing
I thought any injector with a 986 number was a reman injector. new injectors should be o 445 number
Thanks ~
The part number is CJ149
