this helped allot. have 400k miles on my 1999 gen2, never turned a wrench on engine been strong motor, but now changing injectors, fuel lift pump, fuel sending unit, and TPS. its 4th TPS i've had to put on. thanks for your in depth video's.
I think your only one that speaks English everyone else is like "yeah guys yall need this this and this to even reach tdc" i was like freaking right, and here you are dont need damn thing to do this, all i want to say is keep up the good work 👍
You'd be surprised how many 2 gens are here or all over, I have a 3/4 ton with 23 yrs on her, and a 1999 2nd gen one ton 6 speed both are running great, and no cracks in the dash either truck. Also, cut that nasty material away from your cowl over your injectors, all that's doing is dropping material in your the engine.
Mine has 357k miles on it, it runs like a new truck. Valves been checked 1time according to the original owner and they were fine at 150k. I am going to check them, but it starts right up no issues
Really like your video style on the ram everything you need to know nothing you dont. Wondering if you have your silencer ring removed and how many miles youve done with it out if so ?
Seriously!!? I've struggle f@#$ed the sh!t out of getting the valve cover off 3 different times now and all 3 times I had to remove the dang bolts first and you slipped it right out with the bolts in it!!! FML 😂😂😂😂
idk if you still check notifications but if so, im finishing a head gasket job and when trying to turn my engine over with the alt. the crank pulley doesnt move, the belt slides over it, what would you check?
Could try rotating it the opposite direction, I've found that helps with putting tension on the tensioner, otherwise get a bolt onto the crank itself or VP44 pump bolt and rotate it that way.
Greetings new too the Cummins world…just bought a 2006 Dodge 250@ 5.9 24 valve how do I know if I need an adjustment? Thanks any advice would be appreciated!
To my knowledge the newer trucks, 01 and up really, do not need adjustments. But I know nothing about the commonrail design changes in the 2003 and newer 3rd gen trucks. From MY VP44 fuel injection to your style.
Good job. I was wondering what ever happened with that check valve, glad u have figured out the issue. Is the check valve still installed? I ordered the same valve just like you as a temporary fix, in my case it was loose injector line at the head. Had to really get on it for it to stop leaking
To get the feeler gauge to slide in easier. That little bit of pressure isnt going to throw it off, I'd have to literally pull up hard enough to compress the valve spring to make an effect.
