2005 injector replacement

[BigPapa]

Thanks guys! I'm being told that the CAT filter has an absolute rating of 1 micron?? If true, kinda hard to beat?

Not true, well, it’s not that simple. Ratings and rating methods have changed.

Listen to these fellows. They know what they’re talking about.

I agree! Thank you all for your help.

lol, no it does not now, nor has it ever, had a 1µ absolute rating. Gotta love marketing... I find it funny that the Cat filters are still the filter of choice with the aftermarket filter kits when the Cat 1R-0750 hasn't been the best fuel filter in 20 years and the f/w sep was never as good as the Fleetguard/Baldwin/Donaldson filters. It goes to show that hype sells, not facts. For many years the aftermarket filter setups had far worse filtration than OEM, now it's hit and miss.

The 1R-0750 was rated 2µ absolute on old test standards. The standards were modernized in 2004 and the 1R-0750 is rated at 4µ absolute. The P551313 and DBF5814 are 3µ absolute, with the DBF5814 having much better media which is why it's the preferred filter.

Great info!...appreciate you guys!

Get factory new Bosch or BBi new/reman.
Injector change is no rocket since and can be done with basic hand tools strictly following the FSM*.

*except the torque on the connector tube which is 10 higher then back then.

is there a TSB that you know of on the additional Torque @Ozymandias ?

 

[Blakers]

I've been reading through all the advise in this thread. I'm sure injectors will be in my future, but hopefully not soon. She has been running good, except for a stumble at 2500 under no load, which a new filter solved; and a staged drop down in rpm when revved to 2500 - 3000 and let off abruptly. Otherwise, starts and runs good.

If I go with BBI, would the preference be the .1 or the .5 with a stock engine, except for a Smarty Jr?

@Ozymandias the FSM says 37 ft lbs for the connector tube nut. Are you saying its 47 ft lbs? I'm more than likely getting some BBI 0.5's when the weather cools in Texas. Getting all my ducks in a row so to speak.

 

[Ozymandias]

I've to read up on it, I believe it was 44lbs.
It's ten years ago that I changed mine.

From AllData

 

[Ozymandias]

Yeah, that's the old one.

 

[BigPapa]

Old one?

 

[BigPapa]

This is ‘07 5.9. I don’t see any TSB’s on it, either.

 

[AH64ID]

Old style tubes take 37, new style (not so new anymore) take 44 or 45.

 

[BigPapa]

Where’s the break in “old style” and “new style” and where would this info be found?

IIRC, it’s been a while, it was when the 6.7 and 5.9 injector tubes got merged into one new part. But that’s going off old memory.

 

[BigPapa]

So, if he has OE 5.9L lines, he needs to go by the charts I posted?

That’s what I recall.

 

[tjm]

Talked to Martin at BBI - 37 ft lbs per their instructions which is verbatim from the FSM.

 

[Ozymandias]

That’s what I recall.

I didn't and it works perfect. 41lbs I did. Didn't want to do the job twice.

7. Tightening Sequence:
a. Install fuel injector holdown clamp (mounting flange) bolts. Be sure the clamp is perpendicular to the injector body. Do a preliminary tightening of these bolts to 5 N·m (44 in. lbs.) torque. This preliminary tightening insures the fuel injector is seated and centered.
b. After tightening, relieve bolt torque, but leave both bolts threaded in place.
c. Install high-pressure connector and retaining nut. Do a preliminary tightening to 15 N·m (11 ft. lbs.) torque.
d. Alternately tighten injector holdown bolts to 10 N·m (89 in. lbs.) torque.
e. Do a final tightening of the high-pressure connector and retaining nut. Tighten to 50 N·m (37 ft. lbs.) torque.
8. Install integrated gasket
9. Connect injector solenoid wires and nuts to top of injectors . Tighten connector nuts to 1.25 N·m (11 in. lbs.) torque. Be very careful not to overtighten these nuts as damage to fuel injector will occur.
10. Install exhaust rocker arm assembly. Refer to the Diesel Engine section.
11. Set exhaust valve lash. Refer to the Diesel Engine section.
12. Install fuel connector tube nut at cylinder head and tighten to 50 N·m (37 ft. lbs.). Be sure to use a secondary back-up wrench on the connector nut (fitting) while torquing fuel line fitting. Refer to Fuel Line Installation for additional information.
