@Immanuel Wallace thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it!!
I hate to laugh at someone else’s misfortune... but gahh damn, the way you stayed so calmly spoken while dealing with your busted injector, and the lack of fuel was pretty funny.
So I hear the largest Hadron Collider is experiencing problems. Give them a call. Absolutely amazing skillset. I've never seen anyone say things like "I'll worry about that later" and then just do it (was in another video). I sit and think about it like it's a chess game but you just "ho-hum... what's next?" You did inspire me to build my own front winch bumper for my '06 Cummins. Came out very good IMO given it was my first try. Got many nice comments on it but man you make everything look so easy.
As a 1st gen cummins owner for many years, I've enjoyed the simplicity of that generation. Very rarely does something go wrong but when it does, it's usually something I can fix on the road. after watching your video and seeing how you were able to get your rig running, I'm not as scared of adding a later gen cummins to my collection one day. Great video!
This guy is a complete diesel wizard
Can't believe you hauled that truck on your trailer! I have the same one, and it was riding on the stops with an SBC-powered Suburban on it. Suspension? We don't need no steenking suspension! If your truck was a 12 valve, you probably could have poured the Rubbermaid tote full of crankcase oil/fuel right into your gas tank and made it home without a fill up. Props for figuring it out and making it back home.

Common rail would run great on that diesel oil too, If I had better filtration id have no problem running that.
One of the best videos I have seen on your channel. Been here for a good while. And watch them all. I have learned alot also. Love your attitude and wish I was mechanically inclined as you. Not too many young people such as you are able to do things like you do. Take care bud.
Your luck is almost as bad as mine. Good on you for being able to do an epic roadside repair.
Could do a video series of long boxing the mega cab, or a manual transmission swap would make a cool one too.

Kudos to you that's a real technician adapt and overcome. Most don't know which end is up.
It's a good thing Cummins are easy to work on or you would've been screwed I would do a deck for the mega cab make a new number and exhuasg and tune it that's just what I would do
Wow! Well, at least it wasn't in the middle of winter!
Helluva a trip. Awesome you fixed it and drove it home with oil from the other truck.
I have a 2004 5.9 common rail, bought it with 27k on it; now has 60k. Your videos always reassure me I made the right choice when I bought my truck
Oddly enough, I have built the big block cummins over the years and the last one was in a little dozer with the twelve valve and so to convert a automotive to a equipment type ( i can't get my head to call out stuff right) I swapped heads and built injectors out of the two to make one, then swapping the pump is pretty straight forward but you have to use the timing case as well so the pump fits and then they time totally different as you know, all in all, it took me eight hours to swap all the stuff around and roll new bearings plus rings making one engine out of two. It hit after a few rolls to get the prim all around.... Oh, I was 68 at the time and working with a broken back. I'm 72 now but for me the big block is so much easier to do the work on. I like them and the 466 international engines for all around easy to work on.
Cool vid. The makers of that trailer probably didn't foresee anyone hauling a one ton diesel truck on it haha.

You are hard core 😳 the truck sounded like it had a knock after you fixed 5. I have a 06 5.9 in the original owner. It went 220,000 stock. Now it has my retirement into it. Honestly cool stuff makes trucks suck!!! Are race shop is next door to fleece performance they are great dudes and always bail me out when I fuck my own shit up trying to do everything my self. It’s crazy how easy it is to mess up a great truck now days
Yah your friggen awesome. You are very mechanical inclined and motivated to get shit done. #goodO’Lcanadianboys. LMAO crazy but good idea/no other way. Taking the oil out of the 4th gen. EPIC
Sounds like a trip I would have!! I haven’t had a injector do that but had the number 3 injector line go bad more then once. After the second one going bad a spare was placed under the seat. Cause even in the states you can be left stranded miles from Cummins parts!! Great video glad to hear you were able to make it home with out hurting the old truck!
Man what a adventure road trip ! But you made it well 😅👍🏻 cool that you have a 4th gen now !

I love the level of diy you go to. Always gives me inspiration to tear apart my 5.9
Nicely done sir. Sure lucky you had the spare sitting in the glove box.
Not letting anything slow you down.... Bad injector in the middle of no where... No problem, got a spare in my pocket.. True mechanic that knows his truck well...
Good job buddy! Excited to see the 68rfe rebuild. I run an 08'
Good job on the injector diagnosis, but thats why I like my 2nd Gen Dodge and my P Pumped cummins powered Super Duty !! All Mechanical !
Thanks for taking the time to share

So resourceful and levelheaded. Awesome dude. Very inspiring.
That cant be just a reg cookie sitting there, or you eat like a chipmunk. I'd bet it's one of those good cookies lol
i carry block off plugs for the common rail engines after being stranded along side the highway when an injector went bad. i would have done the same thing with the oil...drain out that diesel diluted oil and use the oil from the new truck. i know it sucked doing that along side the road but looks like the good old cummins wasnt hurt at all!
Here I was being proud of myself for having swapped a lift pump out on the side of the road on my '03 Cummins (filter mounted, not in tank, obviously). Just goes to show it pays to have skills, tools, and spares with you. Nicely done.
One thing that Ive learned from this guy is when shit hits the fan to remain calm i def need to apply dat more into my life
amazing roadside troubleshooting and resolution. keep posting!
Glad you’re all good .. I’d have no idea what to do without a computer lol
You literally got’r done there buds lol that’s a crazy night you had for sure... some used old oil is better then diesel oil for sure
Man....super impressive...your skill set....love the videos...thanks
Sounds like a trip that would happen to myself 😂😂😂 creates memories though👌🏻👌🏻
thats ingenuity for ya ,nice work
Great field fix and use of roadside resources!!
You gotta be tough when you venture over here into Alberta! LOL That was a nightmarish ordeal holy cow!
Like the video? Dude, I loved it! Cool adventure and good job diagnosing the situation. Unfortunately the wind picked up but at least the rain went away. I thought it was funny how you borrowed the oil from the mega cab to get home. I was waiting for you to borrow fuel. Nice job man🙃

Like the half eaten cookie on the bench with the injector. 👌
Atleast your able to do the job on the side of the road nice work love both trucks looking for new one to bad your so far away lol keep the vids comming
Dude you're a heck of a mechanic man... that was epic
I did the dash lights on my 03 too. Ended up being the board, it's too loose to hold the bulbs correctly. They rattle just out of the contacts. Ended up having to solder them in.
At least you had your tools and computer with you. Great video as usual!
If that was a Ford you would've had to take the front of the truck and cab off just to change the air filter,and still lost a finger because of the air filter housing being such a piece, anyhow great video!
Keep up the great work! Love the videos
You got skills for sure.
Well done / enjoyed watching :)
Damn dude hell of a trip, been there done that - not an injector though lmao. And, you coulda sent a feeler out on your channel or something for a little help if you needed it. I'm just north of edmonton if you're ever this way and crap hits the fan.
Been using my connector tubes on my 99 for 466,000 miles I just sand paper groves away and keep on rocking, or whatever that music is

You are the 6.7 master tech .i would have been dead in the water .lucky you had tools and spare nozzle .
I carry a injector block off tool/cap in both my trucks for this very reason haha a buddy had this happen and lucky for him i was close so I could run to him and test which one went bad and swap it haha thankfully he got off an exit and into a parkinglot haha but glad you ended up getting home but a block off tool is only a couple bucks so its worth keeping on you in the glove box or center console or etc❤
Man you lucked out good thing you found out what injector was bad nice 4th gen by the way had a question to ask you how can I get that program that you had on your computer so I can monitor my truck better thanks bud appreciate all the videos thanks for sharing your knowledge

Only a guy with ur knowlege and know how coulda pulled that off! Awesome job bud. Really thought u was fixin to rob tha fuel from tha megacab too lmao
I felt the pain when you were low on diesel lol
Bad ass fix on the road bud
Love the vids keep it up wish I knew you broke down I'm from red deer would have given a guy a hand
Boss shit there my friend!!
If you would’ve noticed any bearing material in the oil filter your motor would’ve been shot. Injectors go to your piston directly the only way to the oil pan is through the piston. Not a bad job, for next time it’s usually the 5th or 6th injector that goes in the Cummins.
Love the cookie 🍪 on the work bench my garage for sure

I’m an HD mechanic, this was very entertaining, you have a good attitude. Another way to check is to check for low exhaust plenum temperature with an infrared gun or the old hotrodders trick use a plastic water bottle with a little hole in the lid, shoot water on the plenums while running. Not sure if diesel EGTs run hot enough but the water sizzles on the good cylinders on gas jobbers.
@Cumminslife

That wouldn't work in this situation since all injectors where still firing normally as they should. Better way to find the issue would have been cap each injector off from the rail but I didn't have a cap with me. I considered pulling an injector line from the megacab, cutting it in half and welding it up to build my own cap but decided to just swap 1 by 1 instead.
