Great how-to video! I've owned 2 duramax's and everytime I see someone working on a Cummins I get jealous because of how easy they are to wrench on.

Your a good dude, we need more guys like you down here in CA. That actually know how to work on shit and have common sense. Good video.

Damn your truck sounds so good.

What happens if you dont adjust it. my 97 has 400k and i dont think it has been done more than twice

I have a deleted 2012 6.7. Is the process the same? Also cold or warm engine?

Great video

How many miles do you have on your cummins

I replaced front main seal on mine and didn’t follow the mark when i put the harmonic balancer back. Did I did wrong or I didn’t needed

Definitely something i need to do on my "05". What software are you using to data-log with?

Hp tuners vcm suite.

If you mark the face of the balancer it makes it a little easier to see the position as you roll it over

I've got to do this. My 24v vp beast with single injection is louder than the 5" exhaust at idle...LOL

Hey good videos man.

What size is your wheel and tire combo?

Good job

How much to build a bed like your 3rd gen dually?

How do I know if I need a valve adjustment? I’m new to the Cummins world…. Thanks

did you notice the valve noise was louder during warmup cycle? my '06 tends to have some noisy valves when warming up...but at temp she's normal.

Yea definitely louder when the engine is cold, Procedure calls for adjustment on a cold engine as clearances tighten up with engine heat.

I have a 1999 Dodge RAM 2500 w/5.9 24 Valve engine. I also have the OFFICIAL Dodge Service Manual. Below are the settings as per this manual. Hope it helps someone. Note that the valve lash adjustment does NOT help fuel economy or EGT according to the manual. Read below what it says EXACTLY from the OFFICIAL manual. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If measured valve lash falls within these specifications no adjustment/reset is necessary. Engine operation within these ranges has to adverse affect on performance, emissions, fuel economy or level of engine noise. Intake Exhaust Minimum Minimum 0.152 mm (0.006 in.) 0.381 mm (0.015 in.) Maximum Maximum 0.381 mm (0.015 in.) 0.762 mm (0.038 in.) If adjustment is necessary, use the settings below: Exhaust: 0.020 Intake: 0.010 Top Dead Center Intake: 1-2-4 Exhaust: 1-3-5 ----------------------------------- Bottom Dead Center Intake: 3-5-6 Exhaust: 2-4-6

Is there a torque spec to tighten the nuts on the rocker arms?? Or just tighten with a wrench?

Is you oil pressure supposed to be that high? Mine is just a bit lower than that. Around the 10:00 mark

Is your oil pressure always that high at 1700rpm (top right gauge on dash)

@Cumminslife

3rd gen oil pressure sensor only reads if it does or does not have pressure, not an actual measurement of pressure. The gauge you see on dash is just a fake reading based off rpm/coolant temp.

My 3rd gen pressure goes up and down with RPM's

But if you spin the harmonic balincer at tdc and you spin 360° wouldn't be back at tdc?

@@caelanfarlee4515 Per my cam manufacturers recommendation; it’s just that little bit tighter with a little more lift and duration. We’re talking minute amounts here. Also in my experience, it increases lash intervals

Would I fit my 97 cummins

Yeah it should, might have to modify the hitch a bit but other than that its all the same.

Don't set them tighter than factory ...if too tight, the valve may not seat fully.... burnt valves, dropped valves....
