    Voltage Problems

    Thanks for the replies That makes sense. does anyone have a source for replacement cables? all that I have found are not as large as stock. or should i make them myself, i have a crimping tool, but shouldnt the terminals be soldered?

    Trouble spots with 3rd Gen's

    Bought my 04 in 2006 with 89k on the clock, really trouble free (except rebuilt the trans twice on the way to 360k). at about 375k had intermittent low oil pressure light. at 390183 engine locked up. it had spun a bearing causing the low oil pressure at startup, and I just ran it til it died...

    Cant get it started

    umm, that makes sense. actually the 'pump' was on the take out engine and the installer moved it over to the replacement. I guess the lift pump was installed in the tank, but the original pump was never removed and fuel has just been pumping thru the unplugged pump. for at least the last 300k...

    Whats the Difference?

    My 04 cummins seized up at 390k miles, spun bearing. So I purchased a replacement engine from a used parts place. I know that Cummins made a change in late 03 (04 model). I'm concerned that they sent the wrong engine. I already sent back the core so I cant compare the two. Does...

    I wanted to have 'every' part i needed before pulling it apart, so i ordered new tubes, (the old ones looked fine), They didnt come with the injectors. The description was 'fits 5.9 & 6.7 instead of the two ball bearings, there's one long piece in its place. I'll look for posts on the 6.7 tube...

    Archived no start, just replaced injectors

    any harm in running 2 old injectors with 4 new ones for a few days? test run about 6 miles, lots of grey smoke at beginning, figure thats just liquid fuel burning off. The initial problem (knock & smoke under load) is gone Havent 'put my foot in it' yet. Being gentle til the new injectors

    (expletive) I reinstalled old injectors #1 & 2, cranked and BAM it started. When reinstalling #2 fuel tube, it wouldnt push in by hand, pulled the injector, visually verified and pushed tube in, very hard to push in. switched to an old tube, pushed in with a little effort. I appreciate the...

    also, can I try to build fuel pressure and start engine without the air horn, and heater electrically disconnected. I'm sure it would throw codes etc, but would it hurt anything?

Does...
