this helped allot. have 400k miles on my 1999 gen2, never turned a wrench on engine been strong motor, but now changing injectors, fuel lift pump, fuel sending unit, and TPS. its 4th TPS i've had to put on. thanks for your in depth video's.
I think your only one that speaks English everyone else is like "yeah guys yall need this this and this to even reach tdc" i was like freaking right, and here you are dont need damn thing to do this, all i want to say is keep up the good work 👍
You'd be surprised how many 2 gens are here or all over, I have a 3/4 ton with 23 yrs on her, and a 1999 2nd gen one ton 6 speed both are running great, and no cracks in the dash either truck. Also, cut that nasty material away from your cowl over your injectors, all that's doing is dropping material in your the engine.
Mine has 357k miles on it, it runs like a new truck. Valves been checked 1time according to the original owner and they were fine at 150k. I am going to check them, but it starts right up no issues
Seriously!!? I've struggle f@#$ed the sh!t out of getting the valve cover off 3 different times now and all 3 times I had to remove the dang bolts first and you slipped it right out with the bolts in it!!! FML 😂😂😂😂
Really like your video style on the ram everything you need to know nothing you dont. Wondering if you have your silencer ring removed and how many miles youve done with it out if so ?
idk if you still check notifications but if so, im finishing a head gasket job and when trying to turn my engine over with the alt. the crank pulley doesnt move, the belt slides over it, what would you check?
Could try rotating it the opposite direction, I've found that helps with putting tension on the tensioner, otherwise get a bolt onto the crank itself or VP44 pump bolt and rotate it that way.
Good job. I was wondering what ever happened with that check valve, glad u have figured out the issue. Is the check valve still installed? I ordered the same valve just like you as a temporary fix, in my case it was loose injector line at the head. Had to really get on it for it to stop leaking
Greetings new too the Cummins world…just bought a 2006 Dodge 250@ 5.9 24 valve how do I know if I need an adjustment? Thanks any advice would be appreciated!
To my knowledge the newer trucks, 01 and up really, do not need adjustments. But I know nothing about the commonrail design changes in the 2003 and newer 3rd gen trucks. From MY VP44 fuel injection to your style.
To get the feeler gauge to slide in easier. That little bit of pressure isnt going to throw it off, I'd have to literally pull up hard enough to compress the valve spring to make an effect.

Definitely helped me out #6 was way out and now truck runs so much Smoother now
Glad to hear it!

CCV , not PCV Diesels Don't make Vacuum Lol Thanks For the Tips ! Gunna adjust my 07 5.9L
One day you will learn not to lay metal stuff on or near your batteries ;) I cover mine with a piece of old carpet when doing anything under the hood.
Lol, I've thought about that multiple times, but I haven't been zapped yet lol
Nice fix bro

Is this the same for newer 24V mine is an 04
Good fix. More maintenance than hydraulic, but are way more reliable!
I sure hope so!

Yes I have one that has 280 000 mile on jus going to do it
Why do you skip a piston…shouldn’t you do all of them in a row…or do you move the timing
At Top dead center only the ones with slack in them at a given position can be adjusted. If they are under tension there is no way to measure them.

It's been off the duration of my ownership with no issues

@@AllThingsBoost appreciate the reply ended up figuring it out, just put a little tension on the tensioner and it gripped it

Yeah, I just left it, no point in removing it. Truck has been starting perfectly ever since the new crossover tubes.

When turning alternator over tdc does not turn
What year is this? I'd be GREAT to put that in the description, THANKS!
2001, the 24v is the 24v though. So year is irrelevant. Common rail 5.9 came after, and 12v 5.9 came before.
Hey man keep up the great work !
Why you lifting the lifter with right hand while checking that’s not good

Are the valves torqued?
Likely
Did it sound like a manifold leak?
Did what sound like a manifold leak?
@@AllThingsBoost the ticking noise.
@@blue123111 no
What issues do loose valves cause?
Noise and less efficiency as they are not opening fully to let air in or exhaust out.
Valve adjustment should be done stone cold
Cold, trying to do this on a hot motor would not be wise, and probably lead to inconsistency as things cool as you go.
so, you can pull the valve cover off and see the valves? rotflmmfao! thats funny... maybe you should learn before you tell others the wrong way.
So the rockers are not pushing on the tops of the valves?
