IL6 Torque

I dont have specs on anything it has all been locked up for years and owner is no longer around. I figured id never see them again so i popped a couple quick pics . There still around i just dont know how to identify them. No idea what they have planned for them .

Moving some stuff around and loaded a trailer full of engines. No cummins but I figured some of you would like to see them.http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq115/memphisruss/hemi%20mopar/hmmmbig.jpg http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq115/memphisruss/hemi%20mopar/photo.jpg http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq115/memphisruss/hemi%20mopar/photo.jpg

Welcome to my world only with an '07 5.9 . I'm not an expert but wouldn't the larger lines cause lower PSI while still allowing enough flow? I've read that cummin is more concerned with amount of flow and not about pressure. Mechanic explained to me yesterday about how the Cam Position Sensor signals interact with the Crank position sensor to tell the truck truck to fire. I'm sure the Guys alot smarter than me will chime in soon. :banghead:

Plan on going down to see an actual diesel mechanic tonight. I will let you guys know if anything happens. I hate reading through dead end threads so I hope to get this resolved and post to help others.

Issue still here. Truck barely started this morning cold and didn't start yesterday warm. Chrysler says take it back In. I said after the last five times and nothing being done whatsoever I can't. Simply can't afford to keep renting cars and fuel bill driving back and forth. I will be testing a few things myself now that I have exhausted all avenues with these crooks. There is good mechanic locally but I can do a little free legwork first.

True but he stated toward the end of his op that he was comparing 5.9's.

So...... This is not to blame in his mileage difference right? Are the trucks geared the same? Next thing that sticks out to me is " dodge " replacement injectors.

I'm no diesel tech but you should start by searching forums on the in cylinder egr the 06-07 trucks use. The extra injection events seem to use more fuel to make sure everything burns off clean. Are these hand calculated numbers? You will find info on all your questions as well as what people are doing to modify these things.

I'm guessing they just messed up the security part when they flashed it and thats why it shut down. Just my guess. Got it back friday and went on a 500 mile round trip this weekend. Truck ran perfect and started like a normal commonrail with no bad starts at all. Seems to start a little better but being so intermitent I'll have to see over time. Thanks for the concern and help I will bring this thread back to life if it continues! We will See!

I dont have another key. I know. I know. Funny how this only happened after the flash. Could this have been affecting bad starts ? I saw yesterday how it shuts down but this can't be what the previous stated problems were? Good times with a chrysler product!

Yeah spark plugs. that would make more sense ! Show up tonight and get in truck to test run a few days and starts right up then dies . I have never had this happen. Went inside and of course all of the service department was gone so I checked the codes myself with the sales manager and got P0513. I have been checking for codes alot recently and have never had one show up until today. New fun and I'm sure the guys will enjoy seeing my truck there in the morning still.

After 2 days and some questions about my truck blowing too much black smoke they say my computer has been re flashed with the 18-006-12 fuel system gimmick. I searched and didn't find much on this flash. Will be picking truck up today and plan on a 500 mile round trip this weekend. Will check fuel mileage and with all that running around see how she performs. If anyone has had this flash performed please let me know how it worked out. Thanks Alot guys!

That's the truth but it's so intermittent I may just look dumb. Guess I should waste another workday sittin there doing it for them since these " wizard " techs that don't come out from behind the curtain can't seem do do it. I'm sure they know why they can't find the issue.

Just with key. Nothing

I have not tried on charger while hot. I assumed when dodge initially told me everything seemed fine they actually tested something like the rail pressure and others. Pretty sure he told me pressures were correct. Thats why this most recent trip I asked what was done and that really offended them. Claim they got it warm and turned key a couple times. (lazy) I dont expect them to do a full trouble shoot but these basics you named are what I assumed was checked. I assumed these pressures were checked because at the dodge shop I'm sure this is easy to check. Looking back I'd almost bet nothing was tested and just did the start with no problems??? I have not checked any electrical with injectors. I would have to do some research before cracking into that. Hard to tell about fuel leaking around injectors because I just had ccv breather replaced that was leaking oil down that area. Guess Ill Clean that area up good and check. It was suggested from a guy that I check for white smoke at startup and I did video this morning and got a small white puff. Thanks for your time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPQFUV4p1-c

Yes its 07 5.9 common rail. It does sound like all the threads I've read on vp 44 failure. I have in take lift pump and cp3 . I don't wanna give up and let them off the hook but I also don't want to keep wasting days without a truck sitting around waiting for a lazy answer. At this point I have at least $100 in fuel driving down to two different dealerships ,4 non productive days without a truck, and a still existing serious issue. Add all of that up and I may as well start playing "part darts" ! If you guys can recomend a few easy tests like you already have I will start narrowing down possibilities. I have general tools and a snap -on fuel pressure gauge that I guess would be adequate to test lift pump but not high pressure. Any quick at home tests will be appreciated. Yes I have searched alot of forums and there are many threads that are dead ends or have solved problem many ways but I have to start with small tests.After checking a few small things this week i will take it to local mechanic and see if he can get it. Thanks guys!

I've been having the occasional hard start when warm shortly after shutdown. I brought the truck to the dealership under warranty about two months ago for this problem and after three days they claim "unable to duplicate" . Called chrysler to see what my other options are and they opened a case and said bring it to the other dealership and see what we can find out. Well after a whole day sitting there I finally get ahold of someone and the result was"unable to duplicate" . When I asked the service manager what test were run he seemed a little offended and said he can't run test unless they can "duplicate issue" . So as a concerned consumer on an expensive investment I asked what exactly was done to find the problem. He puts me on hold comes back upset and say mechanic checked it twice and someone else checked it once. Real good job! Then I asked him if they are checking for a warm starting issue, then why was my truck completely cold when I picked it up? Could not answer and got real offended. At this point he's upset and I am getting upset about my truck. I'm waiting to hear back from chrysler but for now I'm not sure if I should even drive the truck. Tried it warm right after I left and got it up to temp and it did a hard start again. The next morning again. Now the wierd thing is that for the first time ever, It did it on cold start up this morning.(I live in southwest florida) Any help from you guys in any way would be appreciated. I know others have found a few fixes for this but too many to pinpoint. Load tested batteries last week and tested fine. Fresh baldwin fuel filter, Fresh air filter,....? :banghead:

It would be interesting to get ahold of him and hear the dealership BS !

I told the dealer what is was before I showed up. They did there own eyeball test and said "yep its your cc oil filter, we'll order one and make another appointment". So I never got a call and ended up calling and...."oh yeah the parts here when do you want to come in". Well I made an appointment and when I get there they let the truck cool down then call me 20 minutes later to say that it was the wrong part come back again. No suprise there right? So finally this monday I get there and 20 minutes later I leave with new cover and no problems except the three 45 minute drives and back. I dont know if other ones can be modified but I think before 06-07 you can just replace filter. Just curious if this caused pressure in other places and what should I look for.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've seen those but if you look at the description they say for 03-05. There is a small note on the bottom of that Geno's ad that states "NOTE: Will not work on '06-'07 trucks. Cummins says you have to buy a new complete valve cover to replace the CCV filter on these trucks. ". I guess that answers one part of the question but is that the reason that mine is leaking? Of course this was overlooked by the wizard diesel tech at the dodge dealership. .

I have noticed this build up of oil that must be slow seeping out of the connection. Is this normal wear or is it a sign of problems internally? Can I tighten it or do I need to solve another problem first? I dont get blowby from oil cap when removed but it vibrates off slowly.Also do these 5.9's have a filter in here or anything that needs cleaned or maintenance? Any help with allow me to sleep easier . First pic is upside down.Thanks!2007 5.9 92,000 miles auto stock
