    fuel plate mod, truck died 12v 5.9

    I am almost certain it was a fuel knock, not sure on the dowel pin being tabbed, what dowel pin and where is it, the motor has never been apart so if its not a factory thing I would say no, I will check the gear case for cracks, what would cause it to crack

    fuel plate mod, truck died 12v 5.9

    I'm no expert on the 5.9 cummins but that sound logical, the short rattle sound it made during acceleration is what keeps buggin me, and after that she started running bad, any one have info on how to check gear and pump timing

    fuel plate mod, truck died 12v 5.9

    Yep, we have all the hardware, if the fuel lever dropped past the plate causing this then removing the plate could possibly bring the ole girl back to life, a simple fix would be nice, theowner of the truck is sweatin 50 cal. bullets right now

    fuel plate mod, truck died 12v 5.9

    I know we didnt mess with the timing, but im a ford geek so i have never been into the inner workings of a cummins, was not sure if there are any key ways or roll pins that could shear of and cause a timing issue, its kinda lookin like i am going to get a chance to find out

    Truck Won't Start!

    Crack the lines loose a the injectors and see if there is fuel spray while cranking if you are concerned with possibly running out. If you have fuel there start checking the GP system, there have been cool summer nights here in michigan when my truck wont start without cycling the glow plugs

    fuel plate mod, truck died 12v 5.9

    I took it back apart and nothing is broke or missing, the plate didnt come loose. When you hold the go pedal to the floor it will sputter, try to catch and die, i moved the plate back to the middle and it wont start at all. The strange rattle we heard is what concerns me, kinda like when you...
