Hey Rob, thanks for explaining this to us. This was very educational. I had never considered that a common rail would continuously spray fuel if the injector hangs open!
but seriously . the common rail system, its a great design and simple, and darn it they run very smoothly, are easily modified to respect- able power. cp 3 are inexpensive and durable, there is a lot to love.
engines are quiet, reliable, powerful,
if....
you maintain them. abuse them and neglect them , and just like a good woman , will , they will leave you with broken heart and empty wallet.
recently i got in a 6.7 the sludge- and im not making this up, was a pudding that covered all but the very tip of the injectors.all. rocker box was full.
this engine had- get ready for this , SIX spun rod bearings. i have photo proof. the piston oilers were- every one of them, plugged to where i could not blow through them
the bores are perfect pistons look like new and did actually deceive a visitor to the shop into thinking they are going back in. and he knows engines.
rods black on big end - shot.
point is, take care of your baby and she will take care of you. the common rail is not a tractor with a license plate like the gen 1,2.
its a sophisticated piece of gear will billions of road hours proving its worth.
just needs love fellas- like any good woman does.
Right on 👍👍👊
M and d diesel in Houston sells the best injectors. Oldest and largest diesel shop in the country. They work on oil rigs, ships doesel engines they partner with bosh and their rebuilt injectors are shimmed better than new bosch units. Sukan is the expert there. A set of injectors is 2400. Not alot of money for piece of mind.
Preach it Rob ! Keep it up 👍
I was thinking about swapping my nozzles, but yeah you’re sealing the deal. I should just send them out and get it all done.
This Video just saved my new engine build. I send my injectors to Rob and they all didn't pass. So Rob your Video just saved one guy.
It have saved a couple guys. It was well worth my time to make it.
MORE 5.9 CUMMINS INFO BEST ENGINE EVER
great advice. an ounce worth of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure
Thanks Rob. Good stuff.
Going to keep that in mind. Having idle issues with mine. Thinking about buying some rebuilt injectors.
Great info. Thanks for this
Thank you for the information.
I appreciate your advice..I probably never going to own a common rail truck for that very reason. . I heard stories about them eating pistons from bad injectors and the price of the parts . Not for me . Thanks for the videos .
I'm getting ready to buy a 5.9 Cummins in a F-800 1994 do you think I have a common rail in that???
@@barrycraig4773No.
@@barrycraig4773It being a 1994 should have a P7100 injection pump and definitely not a common rail. I got the 12 valve for my swap out of a 1997 Ford F-800 box truck. It might have small differences from the engines that came in the pickups. Different transmission adapter plate. Different exhaust manifold. Different serpentine belt setup. Different air intake horn. The coolant intake pipe will be a 90° and not a straight one. Little stuff like that. It probably has a 20+ quart capacity oil pan.
Oh yeah and make sure it's actually a 5.9 and not an 8.3 they look similar. 5.9 12 valve will have 6 separate valve covers. 8.3 will have a single cover. Also a 5.9 has the fuel injectors on the passenger side by the exhaust manifold. The 8.3 has the injectors on the driver side.
Thanks man...see you next time 👍👍👊
Good information great timing Rob. New to diesel with a 1991 Ward school bus 6BT I am retired and getting ready to buy new injectors and turbo but am scared to death of buying the wrong ones. I sure can’t afford to make a mistake on this one so that is why I follow you Sir hoping to find one of your videos to guid me through this.
Be careful, there are several different variations of 5.9l.
send me a email when your ready i can help you out robcutterup@outlook.com
rickets and science and ... if ur gonna be dumb better be tough....and rich
Thanks for the input,Im new to diesel world,and I'm your typical idiot,so help like this is awsome,Im currently looking at 1996 F-800 truck with a 5.9 Cummins in it,I ask the guy to give me a video of the oil cap sitting to see if there was any blow by which it was not,however the vibration knocked it off eventually,any advice you can give would be awsome gonna look at it this week but its a 5 hour ride one way,I sure hope this 18' long bed of a truck can handle the 6%grades of western pa.
On something like that. If you pull the cap off with it running and up to temp. If it’s pop smoke out or lots of smoke that’s not good. Or if it’s pushing a bunch of oil out of the byblow tube is a bad sign
Hey rob im building one of those Frankenstein Ford Cummins trucks using a 1975 f250 ext cab and a 96 extended cab Dodge frame I've had lots of p pump motors and myself personally I like the ve motors alot more what all am I going to have to do to this ve motor I'm trying to get 400hp I am going to tow with the truck a lot
400hp ve is cake but if you want to tow using the 400 you will need towing twins and a huge radiator. The same goes for a p7100 engine though for that matter. I tow 20-30k gross very often with my dyno proven 433hp 1025tq ve but I can probably only sustain 300 to the tire before I have to back down from coolant temps.
The piston looks odd was that a bad injector or wrong injector like a 03-04 in a 04.5-07
Since Im new to this is the 5.9 cummins a common rail you call it???
Commonrail in a pickup or medium duty stuff is 2003 and new engines
You need to know what your doing messing with common rail. The injection system is at such high pressures compared to old mechanical stuff… also you can do a fair bit of diagnosing simply isolating your 3 fuel returns and measuring the volume from injectors, rail and the pump… do not recommend Amazon special injectors just for that reason… I would not trust a 150$ injector when new ones are like 500-600$… cutting cost somewhere
If they work then what is the issue with them? Dont last long?
@@eternalbeing3339Did you not watch the video?
I’m seeing a lot of quality issues (materials, manufacturing process, and machining) in foreign made parts this year.
What’s your opinion on refurbs from a reputable company
As long as there built right. That’s what I do for a living
My buddies having issues. I think he's got broken rings but he says it's gotta be valve seals in the head. Can you even troubleshoot that.?
Do a compression test in it. If it running funny it won’t be valve seals
Borescope is inexpensive and as easy as popping an injector out.
Any chance that the injectors he bought where 2003, (wide bowl)
It’s had the 505 injectors in it they were just junk
