All injectors have been installed, engine was cold during both testings. last one 30 minutes ago. just a little over 300 psi all 6 cylinders, very little deviation. Like less than 20 psi. Cyl. 1 322 Cyl. 2 314 Cyl. 3 318 Cyl. 4 310 Cyl. 5 305 Cyl. 6 302 All measurements are estimates of course with this cheap tester. Not the best tester in the world I am sure. Saw the testing myself. EDIT: Test Kit is a Wilmar... He said it was pretty cheap.

So, 300 psi doesn't throw up any red flags? 2005 5.9 24v 270,000 miles... Thought about tearing into the 2006 5.9 1 ton to confirm compression, but that just seems a little stupid to me.

Copper Crush Washers. Finally got the parts at about 7:30 pm last night. We won't discuss what that cost me on a Saturday night. Premier Truck Center in Amarillo really stepped up to the plate on this one. They primarily serve big rigs, but hey, that is essentially what this thing is, an 18 wheeler with only four wheels. Does 300 psi sound about right for compression? It is uniform on all cylinders so I assumed it was correct. Guess that is pretty darned good for an engine with 270,000 miles on it.

Need some help with this if anyone can... Stupid BD Diesel sent injectors without the nozzle washers. Got a shop here in town that probably has them, but I need the original Cummins part number for the injectors. Been searching for the last hour looking for that stupid number. This is vital to my business. If I don't have the truck in Galveston Monday night, I lose a HUGE contract. Help please.

Slim did a Compression test, his thoughts exactly, everything seems cool to him. He is the mechanic, LOL Not me. He says they look really good. Whatever that means. Told him if it was all bad, we would crate an engine in from Dallas and just drop it in. So far, so good.

Thanks for the Topic move, just sent a message to Mopar and asked him to do it, I was in too big of a hurry to get all greasy I guess. It seems that the injector body on #6 is cracked. Not a pretty sight, will get some pics after I get cleaned up.

My 2005 did that down in Galveston County Texas during the big flood this last year. ECM rubber plug was dry rotted and water got in that little brain. Eeeks. Very nasty issue.

2005 5.9 24 valve. Making oil... Yuk. I guess most of you know what that means. It is also knocking on injector 5 and 6. At least it is going to be a beautiful day down here in Texas. Already in the 70's. Will update when I'm all done. Oh, and this is my first post, great site from what I've seen so far.
