update on dead cummins.

[brobeson]

Well Dodge is sending out a new short block to fix our dead engine.



What they found out when they took the engine apart was a burnt piston and scored cylinder.



About 2 weeks to get the parts and do the exchange.



I do not want to hurry them as I want a good job.

Interesting....

Please keep us informed as to the probable cause of the failue...

Was it your 98. 5 or your 2001? Were your EGT's too high? It doesn't look like you have any BOMBS on your truck.

Dead cummins

What they know it that the #1 injector was over fueling.



This caused the burning of the piston and over loaded the cylinder with fuel causing the damage to rings etc.



The rings scored the cylinder.



I just hope the head was not hurt as I do not think they are replace the head.

Bob,

Just curious, was it your 98. 5 or your 2001? How many miles were on the engine?

2001

This happened to our 2001.



It had 62K miles, had no problems until it died.



Its last 50 miles was SMOKING (blue/white) and started missing, then knocking.
