Hello From Canada
I was having a long crank start issue on my 03 5.9 Cummins, I took it into a shop and they said the fuel pump wasn’t working correctly so we replaced it with an after market Fass Fuel System, unfortunately didn’t fix the long crank starts. I also had the Fuel pressure control regulator replaced but I don’t think they used an OEM part.
Was at a job site the other day and shut the truck off but wasn’t able to start it again with out using quick start. My friend told me the injectors need to be changed and we replace them with some cheap aftermarket injectors that he paid only $900 for. It fixed the no start issue and long crank start issue however I am getting a ton of black smoke when I step on the throttle and lack of power.
Is there anything else I should check that might be causing low power and excessive black smoke? If I need to spend the money on some good injectors is there anyplace you would recommend to buy them from? Also I was thinking of getting a good scan tool for the truck, I also have a 7.3 ford that I would like to be able to scan. Any recommendations for a good scan tool would be appreciated.
