Cummins ISX15 fuel injection pump update install with timing procedure & oil leak fix on fuel pump

[@rickharmon3513]

it's always something else once you get in there. it's good to do it your self if you can that way you know it's done right and you don't get ripped off. nice job dirt boss!

you look Mechanic no one can do it first time this job, ether you was Mechanic or you're Mechanic Right Now anyway thanks for showing this beautiful video

You're welcome Thanks

Timing procedure is at ~22:00 if anyone was wondering

[@mannycunha9783]

There's a hole on the driver side you have you use a pin and then there wedge that go in the cames that all for timing

[@dangraham7588]

As I'm watching this go down, I can feel the pain of that weight and the worry of what happens when it slips. I have a, shiny with oil, yellow nylon rope with a looped end for this exact purpose. You can tie it to something above and let it down a little at a time. You are awesome, great video. Thank you for your help on this.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Hey thanks man ! Good tip

[@bobmottau7668]

What a great feeling when you see no leaks.great job 👍

[@BigRigRich]

You are spot on sir. I had a customer that had the ceramic plungers go bad and it was $30k ..The miles were at 125k but THE HOURS WERE AT 8500 so that equate to 350k to 400k. The truck was 6 years old.. So NO WARRANTY. God Bless you sir.

Wow crazy stuff sad they don't take responsibility

Greetings boss of dirt....wow...that was quite a task...congratulations d honestly you did a really good job....I would offer you a small suggestion that in the future repairs..it’s always easier to clean it up with some brake clean and compressed air..you are absolutely rite to be concerned about any debris getting inside your fuel system

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Charles I know you are correct.. I got a little ahead of my self on that one! Thanks

[@mikewasko4964]

And fyi on the ISX the fuel pump and air compressor have to be timerd with the crank shaft and harmonic balance ...cummings is uses the harmonic balancer ,air compressor and fuel pump for dampening vibration on the crankshaft ..its OK to be one gear tooth off but no more or simply put it will let the crank shaft vibrate beyond acceptable levels and it will over time destroy the crank bearings .

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Nice good info Thanks for watching

[@Eljuancho915]

For fuel pump the timing tool is needed but if its not available all I do is put the timing mark at a 45 degree angel towards the middle of engine if you are looking at the gear it should have a mark or a 0 that is what I always put at a 10 o'clock or 1030 u will feel it when it sits just right of course have the damper at the insert pin mark and u will be good

[@Eljuancho915]

Only fuel pump is timed

[@mikewasko4964]

@@Eljuancho915 air compressor is timed also ..well for my 2010 isx .. When u buy a new air compressor it has the timing mark on the gear and typically will be etched in the gear and have white paint on it ..im 100% the engine has to be pinned and the timing mark gos at 12 o'clock on the compressor

[@mikemorse8592]

Love your spirit man love the do it yourself attitude! Don’t want to sound like a KIA but let that lift pump fill your filter Cummins does not recommend pre filling , you can introduce dirt into the fuel system which can cause damage to those plungers in the pump as well as stick an injector open among other things. Have a good one!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks for the tip! I asked Cummins too! They told me to fill it.. I was thinking I could just cycle the key a bunch more times.. Thanks

[@mikemorse8592]

If u want get a plug that fits the center threaded part of the filter that way your filling though the filter and effectively filtering your pre fill!

About the ceramic parts inside the fuel pump:it happened to me back in March 2018...7 working days at hotel for me...and 10k $ bill to be paid. Now it's February 2021: 6 working days,12k $ ...and it's not done yet. The same problem- both fuel pumps are broken...255k miles its not enough.

I know this video is 3 years old but I have a question when it comes to the gasket. At 24:57 you put the gasket in place and slide the fuel pump into the hole. Would it be possible to slide the gasket over the gear and then put the fuel pump in the hole to reduce the chance of cutting the rubber with the gear? Just researching because I have a very small leak and I'm thinking about tackling this job.
