Today we tackle some more bolts on upgrades on our 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 with the 5.9L Cummins. ARP 625s head studs get installed, Power Driven Diesel Pushrods, and Power Driven Diesel Valve Springs
doing this same thing this weekend! xdp rods and springs. industrial injection injectors got new updated rocker arms from cummins probably be cycling back to this video thanks man
The copper spray style anti sieze works so well for doing the head studs it’s what I’ve done for years after watching a Cummins guy use copper cote on everything on the Cummins engine saying this is what we use. Well after all my tests the copper cote gives the most consistent torque measurement and I measured the bolt stretch to see the variance and the copper cote went right to .0065 stretch every time
I welded a longer rod on my dial indicator and stick it through the injector hole you can find tdc easily. And with a degree wheel can make marks on it for your truck so you only have to do it once
I use the freeze plug style on those cab grommets so I use an Allen to get those out cuz every time they go into the cowl with me. The back one for sure
Dang the 07 has come a long way in the last year! I am just revisiting this video before doing studs and injectors on my 07 5.9. Thanks again for the content.
Heck no I'm not bored a I gotta suggestion if you have a 6.7 block and a 5.9 block do a video on the deck height and bore size crank rod length piston pin location on both engine if you have the time I haven't seen no video on that and thanks for my part I ordered from you I received them today
Just in the middle of installing my 625s and followed ARP Tq procedure and ARP Lube and also followed this youtube video to confirm doing it right in my 17 6.7L Hoping I dont have to do re torque Torqued to 100 then 125 the final to 150 lb/ft
Remember if you pull ur injectors out they need to go back in the same location unless you are putting new ones in then you have to do injector relearn
I had to pause after seeing that barring tool setup. Can you please post this setup and how you have it in the bell house from there. This could be the answer to all my problems.
@@horsetorquesdiesel I have a 05 with ppe twin stock pumps and on3 performance compound kit with a hamilton cam, springs, and extreme pushrods and putting it back together now and am really interested how much power it will make and if I should get a 366 manifold charger from you guys. What are your thoughts
You helped me another video the other night about turbos for my truck, you recommended the fleece cheetah. Will I need to upgrade the rods and springs with that since I don't plan on going over 700horse? I thought I could keep them stock but I have friend telling me otherwise. But he doesnt work on diesels so hes not 100% sure. I figured I could do it when I do the studs and injectors. Speaking of injectors I don't know anything about how much flow I need. I thought 50hp injectors would but good? But I really dont know as far as they go. Would stock injectors keep up with 650ish horse? Thanks boss you been real helpful so far. I appreciate it and I absolutely subbed to the channel. Also with the studs I plan on just doing the 2000s since they are a lot cheaper than the 625s and I feel like those would be overkill for me. Im trying not to go very expensive on this truck but Since I just dropped $7500 on the trans I might as well build up so I can use it to its full potential.
What valve stems seals did you use? I am a bit confused on the seals available. Umbrella and positive stop. I went with Manton valve springs. About to do all of this work to my 06’
Great video and info. What is the power threshold where it would be advisable to replace the gasket with an o-ring set up in addition to the head studs? How much time did all of this take in real-time?
Nice work , I had read on the forums about pulling the bolts on at a time and installing studs but I was not sure if that would work. Apparently so . So does this increase the clamping force or just have better fasteners to resist the lifting forces from the added boost or both. I probably never going to build a race truck butI so what is the limit of rpm on a stock bottom end on say a 12 valve if you got good valve control . Is a fluid balancer a good investment even on a stock engine for a owner that wants to get a good life cycle out of there engine thanks again
3200 rpm on a stock 12v valve train is all I recommend without upgraded valve springs. You can do the one at a time method but if it blows you’ll just have to re do it.
My truck is 2006 my turbo is t4 fleece 4.64 i blow head gasket.....do you recommend to upgrade push rod for sure im goin to do head studs and valve spring but no sure about push rod. Suggestions??
Is this on a stock cam or did the cam get updated? If not when would you look into updating the cam? What kind of rpm do you plan to turn on a stock cam?
I have a 2011 6.7 I have an S366 and I'm going to replace my injectors. I want to keep the stock injection pump, so I'm not gonna go too crazy, probably 100hp. I'll also be doing 625's. While I'm in there I want to do valve springs and pushrods. I already have custom tuning with an autocal, so are valve springs the only thing preventing me from going to higher RPM?
The mileage of this motor on the stock head gasket doesnt scare you for doing the 1 stud at a time trick? My truck has 193k and i was worried about doing it
Also once the gasket is squished it isn’t getting any thinner by upping the pressure on the stud what your doing is increasing the tension on the stud it’s self.
CAN I GET SOME ADVISE? 03 24V. 350k mile Michigan shitbox edition. +70 Injector, Cheeta charger, Air Dog, Edge CT2. Everything else basically stock. My question, WHAT IS NEXT? WHAT DO I SAVE FOR?
@@horsetorquesdiesel Thanks for replying Bro ! I got Hamilton Springs and Hamilton Extreme Duty Pushrods and Billet Valve spring bridges by XDP I bought them from your shop PDDiesel ! Have to support my Peeps LOL
