2006 ram 2500 5.9 cummins with 175k miles had hard start, once it was on it would run fine. Had no check engine light come on or codes. Spent a week looking for some similar issues with other cummins owners and had no luck until i ran into this video! Bought the prv and got it today and truck is back on the road! Thank you! Definitely helped me
I am literally walking a guy through a diagnosis of a no start on the TDR forums as this vid drops. Keep up the good work, hurray for common rail content!
I have a 1966 Massey Ferguson Diesel tractor. Never have used starting fluid. Still cranks 2nd or 3rd turn. In the 5.9L I found that water in the fuel will be hard to start. Diesels hate water. Too much can blow your head. Usually the engine is getting air in the system. Just because one engine has a problem doesn't mean all of the engines will have the same. There are many factors that can cause your problem. One fix may be ok for a week or so then another problem starts up. If a diesel isn't making you a lot of money, then you don't need it. Many young guys hot rod their diesel trucks, and wind up paying thousands of dollars in repairs. Treat your diesel gently. The power can destroy transmissions.
My dodge is doing the same thing….I replaced the rail pressure switch I am thinking about replacing rail pressure sensor and fuel control actuator after I clarify the lift pump is okay
Oregon logger had a 2003 3erd gen 5.9 common rail 185 injectors nothing but new tank pump full lines from shop that fucked me screw dodge Chrysler dealership my truck ran away hit a fir tree at 65mph it would not shut down
I being Taking my truck to a different mechanic is a rebuilt engine new injectors 4 different shop haven’t fine the problem I have it make with the same problem Only star with staring fluid I know but this the only way start but dies Won’t stay on please if you have anything to share please do Hp pump change 3 time mechanic say is bad but is still the same way oh new sender unit new low pressure fuel and filter What I see when I get new injectors the tube have to bearings and the old one have just a pin
Hi my truck only starts with starting fluid but there is no fuel in the fuel filter housing. I fill it up with diesel and put starting fluid but I have to repeat the process for the truck to run
I'm having this same issue, my 5.9 always starts but now with the temps dipping to 40 at night, my truck will not fire. Last 2 mornings I had to use starting fluid.
Awesome video. I have the same issue now. First thing i did was change out my fuel pressure relief valve, but that didnt work. Then i did fuel filter and that also didnt work. Bone stock truck with 160k miles, so im guessing at this point it could be fuel control actuator, bad injector(s), or bad lift pump. Lift pump does turn on though when key is on no start. I guess i should un plug the fuel actuator and see if it starts up at least to rule that out. Also no CEL are on. Just wondering where you would go next. Thanks.
I got a 2003 Dodge Cummins that starts easy cold but won’t start warm . After driving it for a short trip like a mile or two it won’t start for a hour or so !

Hey yeah my 05 5.9 had same problem ,it was check valve causing no pressure.
Great thanks. Replaced my check valve…tick vroom.
I had this issue on an lb7.
I have the same problem but with a vp44 truck. Do you know what it could be

Sadly to say I'm back to minty old Wilbur 7.3 idi turbo 5speed slow to go barley starts lol but keep on rolling
Thanks Boss. Having the same issue in my rig🤦🏾♂️
I have a 2005 Dodge Cummins four-wheel drive 48re how much would you charge to rebuild it??? I love the channel and see that you do great work
Depends on a lot. Dm us on Instagram let’s see what we can figure out @dirtydiamonddiesel
whats the tablet there hes got and how much are they?
I being Taking my truck to a different mechanic is a rebuilt engine new injectors 4 different shop haven’t fine the problem I have it make with the same problem
Only star with staring fluid I know but this the only way start but dies
Won’t stay on please if you have anything to share please do
Hp pump change 3 time mechanic say is bad but is still the same way oh new sender unit new low pressure fuel and filter
What I see when I get new injectors the tube have to bearings and the old one have just a pin
Don't ever use either on these 5.9L engines. You will ruin the engine. Could blow head off, crack the head, blow a piston. Don't be an idiot
keep the great work
I got a 03 Dodge with a common 3500 repeat all day as soon as I step on the accelerator he dies
99 5.9 Cummins starts great cold after truck gets warm having hard starts I thought it would be the injection pump?
I'll try it. I'm a broke b.... I hope it fixes mine. Lol Thanks for the info.
Up in Canada those rail sensors sell for $400.00. Not a cheap part but still good info,thnx. What's your opinion on rail plugs?
Thanks again
Thank you that was my problem
I just installed a new motor on my 2003 5.9 Cummins the truck had been siting for 2 years. It cranks but no start.
Anybody know what it can be?
Same but a 4th gen 6.7 I’m thinking ecm issue somehow
Hey your problem is in yer right hand
Thanks boss I'll try all those...

Sounds like fuel pump failure check wiring to fuel pump.
Do you know where I can buy the banjo bolt and washers that go on the fuel release valve?
Mine only has trouble starting/no start below 45° ambient temp. I wouldn’t think this would be the problem? Thoughts?
I'm having this same issue, my 5.9 always starts but now with the temps dipping to 40 at night, my truck will not fire. Last 2 mornings I had to use starting fluid.
It's an Ether baby.
What uses ether eggs and why is there no videos on it?
What is that part called?

Did you find the issue ?
@@dgkreal831 Yes. It was indeed the fuel injectors. I replaced all 6 with OEM Bosch. No issues.
@@Tinkerer4Life-pp2dg how did you figure out it was the injectors, did it give a code that shows it was injectors.
@@nickkiosk5513 I did a fuel return test and it exceeded the normal amount. I have a video of the test on this channel.
Cheap lil easy part
Thank you
I have no start after replacing injectors, cp3, all injector lines and feed tube and the prv
Did you get it figured out? Mine is doing the same
@@rubenguzman6930 yes, retorqued cross over tubes. Solve the problem instantly
Any of y’all figure it out? My 06 will crank but won’t start might be injectors but hoping not
I got a 2003 Dodge Cummins that starts easy cold but won’t start warm . After driving it for a short trip like a mile or two it won’t start for a hour or so !
What do you think the problem is ?
@@robertbraker93 I have the same problem, going to try the actuator next.
Hi Robert what was the fix to your 2003 Cummins. My brother's is doing the same thing. Drives fine then won't start while it's hot
@@CrazyCuteThing I’ve parked it for now and haven’t got it fixed yet !
What was the problem. Thank you
aaaaaa
