- Cummins 5.9 and 6.7
I have a 2003 5.9 cummins I've completely taken the truck apart just fixing everything and making it a nice truck and i have the engine out fixing oil leaks and cleaning up the oil. Before i removed the engine if I parked on a hill in first gear the truck would slowly creep down the hill, i pulled the head and had the valve seats reground because I figured that was the problem since I didn’t have any blow by and with the head off there is no scoring in the cylinders at all and all the pistons look to be in excellent shape too except fo i can wiggle them I believe it was about .020”, i also had no knocking or worn spots in the cylinder
Problems:
Slightly higher egts than expected
Creeps down hills
Wiggle pistons
Turn engine over fairly easy
Put head back on had injectors pop tested with new crush washers and still turns over easier but it ran good before
