    Low compression? Cummins

    Yes haha the engine is out of the truck on a stand and as soon as i can get a compression tester i will test it, I just hate removing the injectors again but it will be a load off my mind before I reinstall it. I had checked before i removed it for blow by and it didn’t have any, just a very...

    Low compression? Cummins

    How high of psi should i be getting and where can i get a compression tester, and should i worry with a leak down tester or only if I have lower than expected compression?

    Low compression? Cummins

    I will do that unless someone could provide some insight on some things, Is there supposed to be that much slack with the pistons in the cylinders? There was no scoring at all, had no blow by checking with the oil cap off, and no knocking of any kind. If you had to guess how many ft/lbs would it...

    Low compression? Cummins

    I haven’t tried any higher gears and I still haven’t reassembled the truck yet do to the fact that im concerned about low compression and also the fact that i can wiggle the pistons and the hill honestly isn’t that steep the tires are probably about 2 ft lower on one end than the other.

    Low compression? Cummins

    Yes I know the parking brake should be used haha but, it didn’t work at the time and i did open the hood and watched the the engine turning over from the front while it was creeping

    Low compression? Cummins

    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...

    It also has 8 holes in injector tip and is off a 2003 5.9 cummins Does anyone know if these are stock or over injectors?

    Injector size question

    Pulled my injectors to see what size they were because egt’s are a little high and stock fuel pump couldn’t keep up. They are Bosch injectors F1244-4-5186

    Possibly ecm problems

    I am only getting 3.6 volts for my sensors such as fuel rail, cam shaft, crank shaft, etc. the grounds for the sensors seem to be okay so either the ecm is bad or what else could cause low voltage but not loose all of it.

    Is there place’s that will test the ecm if i pull it I'm fairly sure the ecm is not putting out enough voltage but i just need it tested

    I tried all the sensors I could see that were on the same loop and they all had 3.6v getting to them whether i grounded at the sensor or on battery

    I will try to test voltage at some of the sensors this afternoon, would a shorted sensor reset or anything for a couple weeks to months at a time before returning with problems again?

    No major repairs I unplugged and emissions related computer on the passenger side of the frame and it seemed to fix it and then a couple weeks later it started right back up and this time included saying the ccv filter was plugged which I just changed maybe 15,000 or so ago

    No boost

    I put compressed air to the gauge and it reads but its reading lower than what my compressor says by like 10psi but it should still read some when I driving right? And what about the high egt’s I bought the truck recently and its a 6 speed manual and can blow quite a bit of soot but still seems...

    No boost

    2003 ram 3500 i get no boost even under wot turbo has the slightest play in it but I can hear the turbo whistling nice and loud while driving and i can easily get the egt’s past 1250 but I keep an eye on it but seems like lots of power otherwise

    Steering problems

    I have a 2004 ram 1500 I bought a 3” body lift off a local and installed it everything went great except for the steering extension was not right i filed it down to where it would barely tap in with a hammer but it has too much play when turning the wheel and there is no way to secure it safely...

    Battery voltage

    I guess I should have mentioned I just put two new batteries and and a new alternator the first alternator was fine and both old batteries were toast so i got two new ones and its constantly charging at 14.2 now reading with my amp meter

    Battery voltage

    When I first turn the key on it starts up to 12 volts then within a second or so it drops to 0 is there a sensor somewhere that sensors the voltage or it it built into the gauge cluster

    Battery voltage

    I was having issues with my truck overcharging on my 2003 ram 3500 5.9 cummins and i put a new external voltage regulator on and now its charging at 14.2 but the problem that did not get fixed is the battery gauge will just occasionally drop to 0 ( did it before I changed the regulator as well)...

    Volt gauge acting weird

    Did you ever find your issue out I have a similar problem but my battery gauge works occasionally and it is charging at 14.2

    Dash lights randomly working

    The new regulator fixed the over charging and the battery gauge on the cluster works about half the time and the other half its on zero any suggestions? Is there a sensor somewhere for the battery voltage

    Dash lights randomly working

    I figured it was indeed a regulator and i rewired it and added a ground between the alternator and the regulator but no change so I ordered a new regulator and im waiting on it
