So.......... The saga continues! Cummins installs another brand new injector. That one was bad too! So 2 bad injectors both brand new right off the shelf. Had to wait to get the new one in stock. So they call me to day your truck ready, just test drove it and it's running perfect they say. I...

Phone manufactures should put some kind of software on these devices somewhat gps enabled that if the phone is moving faster than 5mph it will automatically disable all text/email features of the phone. I know it would not seem right if your a passenger in the vehicle but you'll get over it...

A small calculator clip board bottle opener in the shape of a exhaust stack....I like this one. Just a couple quick ideas that come to mind

Well as it turns out one of the brand new injectors was bad. As the engine warmed up the o-ring on the injector expanded out of spec. and was failing. To be sure that was the problem they moved the injector to different cylinders to see if the problem followed and it did.

Thanks Greg, You gave some great advise! I just wished it worked this time....lol That's trucking for you! If there is money in the bank something is very wrong...lol

In my experience I had a miss in the engine one time and the other time I had no definite miss it just ran a little rough and the fuel economy went down hill fast. But also sometimes when they go bad the only sign may be you start making oil. Meaning the your level on the dipstick may...

$105.00 a piece buy 5 get the sixth for free this month at Cummins. At the moment without digging out the receipts I cant say for sure new or recons. I am guessing recons. for that price.

Personaly I would not touch them as long as its running ok until the truck is already in the garage for something else. More or less to eleminate another day of down time. Start saving for them now. This way its a "planned preventitive repair" I just replaced mine and only 2 were bad but we...

Thats why I drive a S/T....lol I can afford a few extra pounds..:D

Thank you both. Now that's outta the way I can move on to the BEER!:D

Are you running 3/4 ton or 1 ton units? Just curious. Everytime I pass a van I always remember to look after it's to late...:rolleyes:

Tried wiggling the harness and checked just about any wire that I could get my paws on! As for the ecm the old codes that were in there were from the original injection pump that failed. The old ecm is now in Grand Rapids as that's where I had to pick up the new one from Cummins. It could be...

Greg, Thanks for the info. This does have the updated connectors on it. However we just tried resplicing and soldering in new connectors anyways. Still the same problem. I have a funny feeling that wonderful caps fuel system injection pump is failing again!

Having a tough time with this issue so heres the skinny. Last week truck starts running extremely poor on the low rpm side. runs great on the High rpm end. Took the truck in had all new injectors installed, new pass throughs, new exhaust manifold (old one was cracked) new turbo installed...

Quick everyone jump ship and come over to LOAD-1....:D

Don't forget about those air dryers and air systems. Nothing worse than having to lay in the snow or slush trying to thaw frozen brake lines!

What do you want to know? I have been with them since May of this year and they run me pretty hard. I'm running a Straight truck if that helps. Every singe staff member is great to deal with and in the event you have a problem you can bet the staff is on it right away! John and the rest of...

Cummins owns Holset. Under my current set of circumstances as I do not want to prolong and have further down time I am just going to opt for the Cummins. I would have to be down an extra day to do anything different. The cost of being down does not offset the price savings in this instance for...

Turbo = $1200.00 at Cummins

Even the few times I do use truck stops I have never saw a lizzard at one of them! However I seem to always be greeted by the pan handlers....:rolleyes:
