Check those injector lines

[mitchC]

After reading how some injector line clamps loosen. I desided to look at mine sure enough #4 clamp was loose. Easy to see by the dull line next the clamp from vibration.

Thanks again TDR

Mine loosened twice on #4. The second time I took the clamp off and noticed that the thin washer dished into the larger hole on the mounting bracket. I used a #10 washer, happened to be from the AN bin at my hdwe. store, thicker stronger looking seems to span the larger hole much better IMHO.



Happy Friday!

The old style clamps use a bolt holding it together. The updated lines use a large " flanged head bolt " with a torx insert. The updated lines are not expensive from Cummins. I changed all six on my engine when I had it out for rebuild. On my 03 # 1 was the only one that didn't change up to a new p/n. Shadrach

I checked mine today. 7 years, 84000 miles, they were all still tight.

Your not using a large enough "pressure box":-laf:-laf:-laf



Maybe none at all, that's why yours are still tight.

I had mine loosen up as well only I did not find it until the number 4 line cracked in S. C. not a great way to start a vacation...

Checked mine last week at 6 yrs. & 86k miles. All tight. Those behind the PacBrake air comp. were a real PITA to get at.

I was wondering if you guys were aware of this problem after seeing it on another forum. Thought it might be a good Idea to bring to the front again for you 3rd gen guys.

One guy on that forum said it cost him $200 smackers@ the dealer for repair.

So check it out. The parts are cheap, DIY, or preventive maintainance.

I had no idea they changed most of them. If I were to update mine, do you think its wise to go ahead and change #1 anyway?
