On a 2000 model the fuel system is self priming. But it you have change the injectors it can be a problem. On the exhaust side of the valve cover loosen any two injector lines (most easy to get to lines). Crank engine over and when it starts to fire tighten the lines back up.
yesyes
you open all the injector lines at the injectors . Then pump the fuel pump primer on the fuel pump . fuel will flow out one or more of the injector line , close the injector line and roll the engine over until the next injector start to flow fuel and so on , why are you having problems
Watch injector go down and as it does, look at balancer lines. when VS line lines up with the pointer cast into front lower drivers side set injector at bottom 60 in pounds and valves on same cylinder
Indianapolis, Indiana. That is where Cummins engines are made and it's where the Cummins Headquarters is. If you are wondering, the 6.7L Cummins is shipped from the Indianapolis, Indiana Cummins Assembly Line to the Dodge Ram Heavy-Duty assembly lines accross Texas, Michigan, and Kentucky. There, they are installed into the Dodge HD trucks.
Remove pressure from the fuel system. Remove fuel lines and the rails. Get a fuel injector puller to avoid the risk of damaging the injector. Remove the old injector and replace it.
It is on the left side of the engine. Follow the fuel lines and you will find it.
Is the truck a 12 or 24 valve? I have never done a 24 valve but the ingectors are located under the valve cover (Top of engine w/ Cummins logo), and I immagine it would be very simmilar to a 12 valve once you get into them. 12 Valve Injector Install News Summary: These instructions are written to help you replace injectors in your 12 valve cummins. Most of this was taken from TDR members... News Content: Remove Dodge Cummins....etc. plate from valve cover Use an air gun to blow all loose material from the top of the cylinder head. Remove the high pressure fuel line clamps (8mm wrench) Remove the #1 valve cover. Note: this provides room to get the fuel lines out of the way while removing the injector body nut. The first three cylinder fuel lines pass between 1 and 2 valve covers. Remove the large retainer nuts from the injectors ( 17mm wrench or deep well socket, some have used a 15/16" deepwell socket) Remove enough fuel drain bolts and move the manifold out of the way (10 mm wrench). Position fuel lines out of the way for each injector as you go (dont be afraid to bend them a little, but not too much!) to get each injector out use a set of pliers (vise grips are a handy item) to grab the injector, turn and wiggle it out. Some can be difficult. I had to use some force for this step. The injector will turn some. They have a ball like a ratchet uses to hold a socket. (as you will probably notice on the new injectors) If the injectors are hard to remove, put a nut on top of the injector where the fuel line came off and pry up; they come out easily. if this doesn't work you can use the Cummins injector puller and all six will take about 5 minutes. There is a "seal" where the copper washer seats and make sure there is no crud on it so the seal will be good. You have to use a light and crawl up to see down NO.'s 5 & 6. When replacing the injector lightly oil the body insert it in the hole and rotate the injector until the notch on the side of the injector finds the depression in the head, when it is in position, the injector will not rotate any more. note:(wouldn't hurt to leave one old one installed for comparison until several new ones are down the whole way) Put some never seeze on the injector body nut and torque the retainer nut to 44 ft-lbs. Reinstall the lines on the pump fully (if you disconnect them) Finger tighten the high pressure fuel line nuts on the injectors. When you reinstall the injector drain manifold get all the little screws to start significantly before the final tightening. They crossthread easily. Reinstall all the high pressure fuel line clamps Reinstall the fuel drain manifold Crank the engine until there is fuel coming out of all injector lines, then tighten the high pressure fuel nut and start the engine. It may miss and run rough for a few moments, then begin running smoothly.
(1) For a fuel transfer or lift pump. The transfer pump is kind of like a 1970's gas engine fuel pump. This pump is located on the left side middle of engine. Disconnect the batterys (Both). Remove starter. Place a drain pan below the pump. Remove the both fuel lines. (May have to loosen other end of the steel lines). Remove two mounting bolts. Lower pump down. Take note: some Cummins engines have a spacer between the transfer pump & the engine block that requires two gaskets. Not to sound short for this part. (2) For an injection pump. There is a lot of timing issue here. Take it to a mechanic that you trust and is a cummins tech or get a factory manual (Dodge or Cummins)
Relieve the fuel pressure. Unplug the injector rail wire harness. Remove the two fuel rail mounting bolts and the small screw and clip that secure the lines to the exhaust camshaft housing. Pull strait out while wiggling the fuel rail. At the top of the injector,remove the clip and unplug the electric. Remove the clip on the bottom of the rail that holds the injector in. Pull the injector strait out. Check that the O-rings are still attached to the bottom of the injector and at the top. If not, CAREFULLY.. remove them from the holes that they were mounted in.
No, the fuel lines, o-ring, and injector seals are not compatible with E-85.
The fuel lines on a Dodge Ram are removed by loosening the retaining nut and pulling them from the fitting. Flexible lines can be easily removed while metal lines require specific routing to pull them from the vehicle.
The lines do not go to the oil pan.The lines do not go to the oil pan.
