I will have my transmission out of my truck here in about an hour for a clutch replacement. I might do the rear main seal since it has over 400k on it. Anything else I should be taking a look at while I have it out?

My 2005 has 430k on it, I bought it with 79k on it back in 2009. I have done a few water pumps, the cp3 pump at about 250k, a set of injectors around 375k. Stock fuel filtration system on it, I just change my fuel filter at every 7k oil change.

No, I didn't have one with me. Because the EGT didn't spike, I was leaning towards an electrical problem, rather than a mechanical problem.

My coolant temp was spiking to 250+ this weekend. Any time my injector control pressure got above 18k, my coolant would start rising rapidly from the low 220's to over 250. As soon as the injector control pressure drops below 18k the coolant temp goes down just as fast as it went up. The exhaust...

So here it is. Crossover tubes. Now for the long answer. I called Todd at TC diesel. I described my symptoms: With the engine cold, a light smoke, almost like a light haze at idle. But the truck ran ok. When the engine reached about 150 degrees, I started getting noticeable black smoke, even at...

I did the oil analysis for one reason, fuel in the oil. I want to be sure that is not happening. I changed the oil when I did the injectors so the oil I got the sample from only has about 20 miles on it. So I don't expect the metals analysis to be good but, but for 24$ I figured it was worth...

Your phone goes straight to voicemail

I'm not gonna throw parts at it. I know the chances of something else going out at the exact moment an injector solenoid went out are pretty slim. I think I'm gonna go to cummins while I'm in Portland today and see if the have the adapter for doing the return flow test. I am also dropping of...

I will have to do that tomorrow, cause I'm sure I will still be stumped!

Yeah, I'm wondering if I am not going to be kicking myself for not going new. I'm thinking I'm just going to buy the access to quick serve again so I can get all cummins troubleshooting info and get this figured out.

The C stands for compression ignition, the I is the generation of oil. All the new standards are supposed to be backwards compatible with older engines. So an engine that specifies ci-4 can run cj or ck oil. Here is a link to the api website that explains there classifications...

And I won't take offense to anything, sometimes it is the simplest things that are easiest to overlook.

I did install them myself. I could probably talk you through the process including torque specs without looking anything up, but I do still look things up, because that is the best way to be 100% I double checked my double checks throughout the process. I even have calibrated torque wrenches...

Truck had fault code that said #1 injector problem. Tested solenoid with meter and it was way out. Decided on a set of injectors since I have 375k on these. Got Bosch remans from local diesel shop, 505's I believe. Installed them last night. Truck started fine, idle sounded smooth, tried to...

So I just pulled all my injectors to replace them at 375,000 miles because the #1 injector solenoid failed. The # 1 injector tip is pretty clean, 2,3, and 5 have some build up, and #6 is covered in built up gunk, and #4 is pretty bad as well. Did I just wait to long to replace them all? What...

My local shop has a "Bosch authorized" rebuild for 295 a piece on the shelf, Bosch reman for 325, and bosch new for 425. Problem is both the Bosch direct options is they wouldn't get here till Monday. I hate waiting!!!

Well thanks alot for this thread, now I lost a fuel injector today after reading this yesterday! 375,000 miles on the stock injectors is good though right?

I just installed my new 1 piece from driveshaft specialties in texas. 855$ to my door in oregon. They were a week faster than a local driveshaft shop here in town. I am very excited about not having a center carrier bearing anymore.

Check out all the front end stuff, u joints, ball joints, track bar, tie rods. The stuff on my truck was worn out when I bought it at 80k, and I had to replace it about every 50k until I put on my hub kit. My truck has 350k on it. I have done the clutch once, the high pressure fuel pump, 1...

351,000 on my 05. I replaced one injector at around 200k. I have at least one more with an issue right now that I need to fix. I change my fuel filter at every 7k oil change. I like to pretend that helps.
