Our 2003 Cummins 5.9 commonrail had a new CP3 and the 6 original injectors were rebuilt 3 years and almost 65,000 miles ago, that was at around 110,000 or so. The diesel shop said the injectors tested 'weak' at that time, whatever that meant. Something to do with how much pressure they could hold I think. We change the fuel filter when we change the oil, every 10K and we use Wix fuel filters. Fuel is mostly out of our bulk tank from a local fuel company, no moisture issues in any of our equipment/trucks and the fuel company changes the filter on the tank with every delivery (400 +/- gallons).
She just ate the #6 injector. Symptoms were an instant level of bro truck coal rollin' smoke. I really wanted to make a video to share our bro truck follies. The exhaust smelled horrid and smelled hot, like a hot foundry.
We took it back to the same diesel shop that did the original work. Of course we were out of the warranty and we opted for 6 new injectors, being worried the other 5 might fail soon as well. Before you freak out that we put 6 new injectors in, if the truck isn't running and on the road, it isn't making us $$$$ and the diesel shop is over an hour away.
Anyone else have problems with their 5.9 fuel system as it gets long in the tooth?
