- How to pull 5.9 Cummins without a lift and without pulling the cab off. I found the problem with the common rail after I pupped the engine and then pulled the head
Is this truck restoration?
This would have so many more views if you titled ‘how to pull a common rail 5.9 cummins.’ Very good detailed instructions. Wish I had seen this a month ago.
I'll re title it now thanks for the input..... sorry it got to you late
It’s cool man. Would have saved some head aches but I figured it out. Getting it back in was fun. Lol. Awesome vids man. Subbed for sure
My dog perks up everytime I play your videos , she likes all the animal sounds! By the way , this is Tony oliveira, listening to your videos on the open road, thank you for the educational entertainment!
Fantastic video, pulling a 5.9 as I type this.
You have to make a video showing how you remove the crossmember. That would be awesome.
I learned me something about taking a fan off.. 🤙
That's a big job. Nice prep work. Will b following this one
This was amazing! So much to know when you do a job like this, experience is everything here. I'm really enjoying this series as I love to see how things are put together. Looking forward to the next vid already!
Thanks brother..... have you found any thing interesting lately? You know as an archeologists im always interested
@@CVcustoms has been hot and dry here in the Northeast and the crops are getting ripe so it is a slow time of year for me to find anything really interesting. I'm hoping once the fields are harvested I'll be able to make a few interesting discoveries. My latest findings though are a couple of old Wheelhorse tractors, I love going through these and restoring them mechanically but letting them keep their old crappy patina look. I own 7 of these tractors and just got another one yesterday mainly for parts. So I work mechanically on a much smaller scale than you do, but I love the complexities of big equipment, especially diesels.
So here's my .02 cents I'd like to pass along from my RnR of a 2005 CR engine just so it could help anyone possible.
1) I am fortunate enough to have a 2 post in my shop so I just lifted the cab all the way off. Yes, that means breaking apart power steering lines and brake system but it really wasn't that bad. Power steering lines were an extra 10-15 mins and brake system was 2 nuts to split the master cylinder from power booster (bolts are pressed in and all you have to do is loosen the nuts, ask me how I know LOL) so I didn't even have to break open brake lines/fluid. Steering shaft is disconnected also but one 13mm bolt is easy.
2) I couldn't imagine working on a lot of the stuff with cab and front end the way. Another key note is: apparently the front cross member in front of the rad/intercooler stack is not friendly to remove and must be cut and re-welded at re-install. I cannot confirm this as I removed the whole front end attached to the cab to avoid this issue. Overall, it was SSOOO much better to have everything out in the open and more accessible because cab was removed. I watched as many videos as I could before I started mine and I was up in the air as far as doing it cab-on or cab-off. I would 110% recommend cab-OFF no doubt about it. I can understand a shop that needs quick turn around times and time savings is key but the cab-off is the only way to go if possible and you're not in a rush. Especially when it comes time to re-torque everything to proper torque specs. There are a lot of places torque wrenches don't fit and don't giver proper torque at weird angles.
3) I actually used an 06 "junkyard" 5.9 engine not knowing if it was even going to work or not but I tied into it anyways Lol. Literally the only difference as far as the long block from 05 to 06 is the driver side motor mount and the "riser box" injector wiring harness which all you have to is replace the riser box with wiring ran thru in it and the actual valve cover. It's all plug-and-play the 05 riser box/valve cover parts will swap over to the 06 engine in no time flat. (Must replace riser box valve cover gaskets. They look "re-usable" but it def did not work for me. Spend $50-$100 and get a new gasket set for both. Very easy to do). Injectors are exactly the same 03-07 so no need to swap them either - simple 2 wire hook up at the injectors via two 8mm nuts per injector. I re-used the 05 wiring harness/ECM on the 06 engine long block. EVERY SINGLE SENSOR on the 06 engine is the same and every single thing on the 05 harness plugged right in to the 06 engine sensors. Not a single sensor was swapped over. Another side note: Do not try and use an 06+ ECM with 03-05 engines as the are very different. They are completely different software systems even tho they look very similar (You can find more about this online in the forums as far as technical stuff). You can not use the 06 wiring harness on the 05 truck as there are multiple pins that are different at the motor-to-cab connectors AND the motor-to-trans connector (Even tho they are both 48Re trans, Literally one or two pins off). The entire wiring harness must be switched over from an 06 motor ( I got mine from junkyard with harness still intact) to work in the 05 truck. If you are swapping motors from the same year-to-year truck, the wiring harness shouldn't be an issue and can be re-used.
Hopefully this helps anyone looking to do this as I could not find hardly any info online when I was searching to do this. Side note: 03-early04 engines can be used as well but pistons/injection tables are slightly different and may require special tuning to run properly. Also Ive seen 2007 5.9 junkyard CR engines out of old scrapped UPS/FedEx trucks that I'm very certain I'm sure would have worked as well, but I didnt want to take that chance with unknown miles haha
Great video. I'm thinking of doing this to my 06 Cummings 6.0 liter. Block seized up on it.
Go for it!
Same thing happened to my 05 5.9 CRD. Local diesel shop quoted 25k for full rebuild. Had to sell it.
Great Video and Tips!! First of your videos I have seen. Will be viewing more as getting ready to Cummins swap our Loadstar. Subscribed!!🏁
That's great .... I'm getting ready to 12 valve swap my Loadstar too.... But with a twist... 8.3 Cummins with a 7 speed. Also getting Air brakes
@@CVcustoms Going the 24v route due to availability
Really thought this was the well and septic guy 😂
Dude that's not bad at all mine was like Malton metal both 5&6
Hey man! I'm about to dig into my first Cummins rebuild. Are there any specialized tools you would recommend other than the basics? For frame of reference I could confidently tear down a SBC or any Toyota engine with what I've got right now. Just wondering if there's any weird Cummins specific stuff.
no you should be good to go but if you are doing a common rail make sure you have a torq wrench that does inch pounds
@@CVcustoms Great! Thankfully I've already got that. Just put new injectors in and the dang thing developed a mid-level knock lol.
Did you upload the video on getting it ready for the machine shop? Doing mine now and just questioning a few things.
How did you get the front cross member out it rested on both sides in your video it was there and the next shot it’s not how does it come out without cutting it
Would pulling a Cummins out of a 2nd gen '94 follow basically this same procedure? This seems a lot easier (jacking the cab) than the few videos available for that engine/series.
I believe so but I will be pulling a 96 next month and make a video putting engine in a 73 international Travelall
On my 2006 5.9L Cummins the 1 left motor mount bolt that is that holds the arm to the motor mount its way loose. I think Ill have to loosen the motor mount bolts, lift the engine a little and try to screw that 16mm bolt back in. Any other recomendations?
My first thought was is he going to pressure wash everything before he starts the job? Now the question is will he be cleaning everything before he puts it back together? I hate doing the underside and getting dirt in my eyes. I’m thinking testing the blower system would be good before too. That way if the after cooler is leaking you could send it out for repair while everything is being assembled.
1. What upgrades are you planning? 2. Are you going for a diagnostically designed build? 3. How much money did you plan on spending on the project?
Do motor mount just need to be loose looks like they have cut out to sit in to make install easy
How'd you get that square tube out in front of the Trans cooler?
Hi, is there a followup video of reinstalling the engine, prep for engine compartment Thank you
So how did you remove front crossmember ? Great video, about to attempt this in the next few weeks.
yes
@@CVcustoms yes but how did you remove ?
jay65145@yahoo.com email me and i will give you my number and explain how to do it
How did you remove the crossmember?
@@carlosconde5820 have not done it yet unfortunately. Hopefully have time this winter for swap.
Is this what you do for a living?
Hi, when I disconnect my batteries to pull my engine how long will my ECM hold it’s memory or do I have to keep it powered up somehow? Thank s for your help!

How did you remove the front radiator crossmember off? Everyone says cut it, did you?
yes cut but need to do a video on it. the way I cut everything is reusable and no welding needed. still just as strong as stock
Didn’t see any details on the front crossmember removal? Been told that has to be cut out then repaired after the engine swap? Did your crossmember unbolt ?
Greg alberalla has a good video on this, basically used a bottle jack and steel bar to open the front end up wide enough
I cut mine with a Sawzall and then just patched it together with a couple small pieces of angle iron, drilled & bolted. Easy.
what attachment point did you use to lift the cab?
floor jack and 4x4 positioned as close to body mount as possible
You don’t have to lift the cab right?
What ever happened to this build?
I am going to remove this cross-member... A La Peanut Butter Sandwiches!
How many miles were on the engine
about 250,000
@@CVcustoms great mine has 292k should I be worried
no just make sure you do not run it with a failed injector
@@CVcustoms
Did your engine knock?
Where's the prep video? Can anyone help?
Prep? what do you need to know?
I'm reversing videos to put a motor in a truck I bought that had already had it pulled. Still have to put on fuel pump n then accessories.
Plus you said next video so you got me interested lol.
Thanks for response
This video has NOTHING to do with changing out the high pressure fuel rail. it was interesting all the same, ok now where was I...
sorry if the title was misleading
He didn’t say he was pulling a fuel injection he was pulling an engine you misinterpreted what he said that particular year of 59 is called a common rail
