Well i got the head off and number six is scored all to hell as it means rebuild time. How are you making out???

 

 

I have a leak (small spray) coming out of the back of the cap on the fuel filter housing. It has blown my cap off once already and I had to replace the cap. I removed the housing to make sure it wasn't cracked at that particular place and it is not. The fuel shoots out between the cap and housing as the o ring is bulged out. Too much pressure in the housing? What could cause this? HELP please!

hi my name is shad. i have an 05 dodge cummins. Recently it has had a hard time starting, when it fires it runs reely rough. seems not to be hitting on all cylinders. after about 5-8 minutes it runs fine and has no loss in power. but if the truck cools down again it doese the same thing. I could reely use some advice, i plan on fixing it myself but have never had a problem like this before with any of my trucks.

 

Shad,

Is the weather colder right now where you are from? Have you been using an engine block heater to warm the engine coolant and allow quicker starts. Not using an engine block heater will cause a rough start in cold weather.

The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option, however if the vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available and can be installed at a Dodge dealer. The engine block heater cord would be routed under the hood to the right side and can be located just behind the grille near the headlamp.

Please note that the block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the coolant. This information can be found on page 231 of the Owner's Manual.

I hope this helps.

 

I bought this used with bad motor, was completely dusted, with broken rings in piston 4 and 6. I have completely rebuilt this motor. Replaced all 6 injectors, tested 4 and 6 were bad and 1 and 2 border line bad.
I was able to drive it to my shop after I bought it. When I went start the first time I heard load clicking noises,(from fuel relay and High pressure switch) no gauges, missed one ground wire. After review my pictures that I wired 2, 4, 6 injector wires inside valve cover backwards, still no start.. I can hear the lift pump working inside the tank. But I also hear the injector clicking inside valve cover with just on not turning the motor over...These injectors click for about 5 mins then stop. WIth one inject seeming to get more power than the rest. this rotates thru each injector.. with one injector having more power after cranking the motor over... I have also taken the high pressure senor off the mechanical pump and shaken it, it does not rattle like in a you tube video. According to a snap on code reader, all fuel pressures are correct. Have bleed fuel system at block several times... The batteries have gotten low and been on a charger. I also see a blinking red light at 5 o'clock below speedo. I only have a black key. no valet or pods.. I'm not getting mali function codes unless I unplug something. I work around these engines on farm, logging and trucking. I

I found that valves that valves were over tight or open all the time as I tore down the motor. beside injectors and rings bad. They had removed the air cleaner, and placed a house hold water filter on the oil breather tube to catch all the blow by... it was a repo...
