So I'm looking to trade my car for a 3/4 ton truck. I have found an 04 dodge with the "c" code cummins engine. I am told it has leaky injectors, which from google searching appears this is a normal issue? Also looks like its not toooo overly difficult.

Pull rail
pull feader tubes
pull "valve cover"
pull one of the rockers
pull injector

Only thing I havent searched deep on, is re-installing the rocker. If its a torque to setting, or a "by feel" adjustment.

Can anyone confirm the normal issue, and amount of work?

Didn't you just recently talk yourself in to selling a 1 ton truck and say a Blazer can tow really well?

So what are you going to tell your wife?

Happy Valentine day, honey! I sold our nice car for an old tired truck! Lovey lovey

I dunno guys, if I had a choice between the combo of a 6.5 GMC and a highfalutin Nissan versus a Common Rail I know which way I'd go.

As long as the tranny doesn't crap the bed, the injectors don't peter out, the lift pump doesn't die and the front ball joints don't walk away he'll be fine. Cool

Seems to me like the CTD lash is set with a setscrew on the rocker, not by the hold-down bolt.

But then again, you're not married either.... Razz

If you had an Infinity in the driveway, then I can guarantee you'd have your choice of middle aged women to pick from.

Give me the engine serial number

That I dont have, havent went and looked at the truck yet. All I know is 04 "c" code engine.

I don't even know what a "c" code means. In Cummin's land we go by the ESN. Typically Cummin's injectors are simple, and the lash SHOULD be set by a feeler gauge, not torqueing the rocker rail.

So is it a 5.9 or?

Twilight, I did look up the rocker arm setting, and yes it is set with feeler gauge. Didnt know that tell I looked it up.

Aaron, I dont give a damn what any woman thinks, or cares about me. Let alone, plans on driving my stuff since my insurance policy clearly states "NO FEMALE DRIVERS". Yes, it says that.

I had a ford in the other day. 36k miles bad injectors and they burned out the injector driver as well. Almost $900 apiece for injectors $500 for the driver and it needed to be flashed. Sent that thing back to Ford.
