Final update:found #3 crossover tube not seated correctly, my fault but still very frustrating. Fixed that and fired on second try, runs like a champ. Thanks for all the help, victory!

Got a new code scanner, fuel rail pressure 20 psi! Where do I start? Has new FCA & HP rail sensor.

I have cranked between 15-20 minutes total since rebuild with no luck. All sensors are plugged in but Wayne you may have hit the jackpot. I noticed tonight that the MIL light did stay on while cranking. Looking at the manual now to see testing procedure. I also ordered a scan tool today that...

Update: I opted to rebuild the engine. Sent it to a machine shop, overbored #5, sleeved it and bored all cylinders to match. New pistons, rings, all gaskets. New valve seats and valves on #5, surfaced head and I put it all back together as at that point I couldn’t find someone to rebuild it...

Any suggestions on where to get a head? New or reconditioned?

Thanks guys. Did the Glacier Diesel spin on fuel filter at about 115k, truck now has 255k. Both filters changed at every 7500 oil change. Injectors were 135k mile Bosch extrude honed injectors bought new, no rebuilt injectors for me. No tuner, running about 65, wife was driving up hill...

So back on Labor Day weekend we had engine problems, initial diagnosis was a dropped valve. Finally tore it apart today, hole in one of the exhaust valves and a destroyed piston and cylinder. General consensus is #5 injector failed, causing the sudden rise in temperature and destruction. 255K...

In Baldknob, AR, filled up with fuel about 20 miles south of here, on 167 heading north through Baldknob when I smelled diesel fuel. Found the #4 injector line spraying fuel out between the line and nut on #4 injector. About 210,000 miles on the truck with no problems like this. Injectors were...

Thanks for your help. I read other post and your suggestions and took ohm readings on the injectors. 1 .4 2 .4 3 14.6 4 .3 5 1.6 6 .3 Wonder which one is bad? So 2 of the the six are bad of course so I ordered 6 new ones from DDP. I've used them before with good luck so I did it again...

07 5.9 w/Bully Dog Programmer (on truck when bought) 207xxx miles, automatic 4wd. So a few minutes ago the check engine light came on, checked the code on the programmer and here's what came up: P0203 Injector circuit open cylinder - cylinder 3 - which I assume is the electrical circuit...

Thanks for all the response. I decided on the Carlis, there product seems top notch and I sure don't want to do this again soon. 4-6 weeks is quite he wait, hope I'm not disappointed.

So it's time to replace my ball joints on 2 '07 5. 9 4-wheel drive vehicles. My question is "is it worth waiting the 6 weeks for the Carli or would you just use the Dynatrac joints?" Thanks

I just bought one from NAPA that has a lifetime warranty for $172. 00

It's fixed. The dealer did all of the above, plus a full fuel system checkup, even pulled the injector lines. The fix? New ECM. It did not show any codes, one is supposed to tell the scanner an internal failure has happened. The truck has 83,xxx miles and the "ECM" was COVERED under the...

I have a '97 4x4, at about 150,000 DW started, replaced the shocks with Bilstein's from Geno's, fixed the problem.
