INSTALLED HAMILTON SPRINGS AND PUSHRODS IN MY CUMMINS!!!

PLEASE LIKE IF YOU ENJOYED THE CONTENT. IT HELPS OTHER PEOPLE SEE IT AND IT HELPS THE CHANNEL. AND IT 100% FREE! THANK YOU!🙏🏼
What is going on FAM? After I did the IFG Head Stud install in my 3rd gen Cummins 5.9 I decided to throw in some Hamilton 103lb springs and Extreme duty pushrods. I also adjusted the valve lash which I am going to have to re-do after I re-torque the IFG Head Studs. Follow the build there is more to come. THANKS FOR WATCHING! 🍻

There is a full set of injectors that are 125 hp for $800. There are ducky injectors! Great injectors!

[@joelotto1252]

Nice job explaining things in this video

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Thanks for watching!

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

I'm almost ready I'm waiting for my billet valve spring bridges and just got my topside creeper so I can work from the topside .

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Nice! I don’t even have one of those yet but I hear they are worth it!

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

See you inspire me you used a nut and pry bar to remove the fuel injector feed tubes ! That was awesome Bro !!

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Right on! Thanks bro!

[@leogsparta6340]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Appreciate that!

[@wurstcrewchief2798]

Just discovered your channel and i love it! Keep up the good work! You have almost made me want to do that to my truck but I still don’t haha

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Lol Thanks. I was the same way then the parts were on sale so I couldn’t resist.

[@thesickening0169]

​@@j.j.sgarage1457Super late on this reply, but if you remember JJ, how or when did you get the parts on sale? Labor Day or Memorial Day kind of thing?

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Just so you know I'm mentioning you in my youtube videos for all the help you gave me Thanks !!!

[@phendrix9476]

Great job with the video. I can tell you’ve watched similar videos yourself. You knew exactly when to FF and when to slow down & throw in a helpful tip. Thanks again. PS: there’s a steel valve spring tool which sucks when trying to take out the keepers with a magnet. Ask me how I know.......

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

lol I could only imagine trying to fight the magnet using a steel spring tool. Thanks for watching!

[@TheProchargedmopar]

We need CLEAR valve covers!!! 😂

[@AaronRandolph-kw6jx]

So I got a set of Hamilton pushrods and noticed they are longer than stock, so would I have to take the head off and check valve depth? Or do I just have to reset the valve lash for them to work?

[@diesel_gee1187]

You don't need new injectors unless they're bad. You can upgrade the nozzles for more fuel. Only takes a 15mm socket to replace a nozzle. Look up optimal welder, he shows you how.

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

I hear ya. average life on the electronics of stock injectors is 200k miles Im close to 150k so id rather save up and do the full injectors. thanks for watching.

[@Josh-ln3od]

That's a lot of work bro. I couldn't do that install myself haha.

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

I'm just glad its done at this point. lol

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Does it run better ?

[@TwistedNoodle1]

Great write up. Did head studs myself and wouldn’t have realized I needed to change the crush washer on the injectors. Great info. Have you read the Glacier diesel/ARP prestretch torque sequence? Saves you from having to retorque the studs after a heat cycle.

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

I have not. I'll check it out. Thanks!

[@noxdout_cummins4247]

Prestrech is not needed, on studs. The three step torque process ensures the studs are fully seated. If the studs are .001 stretched they're supposed to be discarded. Arp also will tell you no hot retorques.

[@noxdout_cummins4247]

Also the head studs are installed incorrectly in this video as well, the exhaust studs are supposed to be longer than the rest.

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Now that they have been on for a while how do they work ? Because I just did Compounds on my 2008 Ram 3500 Dually and I need valve springs and push rods to help the power of the compounds. Thats why I'm asking if they work good ?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

They are doing fine and will be great insurance for your compounds!!

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

How does these run on your Cummins I'm thinking of buying them ? Do I need new retainers and keepers or do I use the old ones ?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

More of an added insurance for when I introduce more power!

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Bro How long in hours did it take you to change the valve springs ? I'm about to do mine I have all the parts in :)

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

3-4 start to finish...

[@jamest1273]

*help* Please explain to me how you got #5 exhaust so easy I’ve been trying for days please help I know about the plugs I have these same pushrods and the diameter is what is causing the issue I think it’s half in won’t clear in the groomet hole

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Sorry for the late reply. I hope you figured it out!

[@FlaGatorL]

Does the directions even say to re torque them? How they holding up so far

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Yes its says run for 20mims then re-torque. Im glad i did cause i got movement on most of them. They are holding up good. I have done 2 oil changes and drained the coolant to install the bypass and they are no signs of failure.

[@Andrew-or4jg]

J.J.’s Garage What are you supposed to re-torque? Great video by the way

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Does it run better with the new springs and pushrods ?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

It runs great! idk about better since I am not pushing any real power yet.

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Ok I installed my valve springs and everything went real good. The truck started right up ran a little and I shut it off. Then started it again and it started and then stalled . Do you have any idea what could be wrong ? I have no error codes . I’m stumped ?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Did you do valve lash? What’s the fuel pressure? Let the fuel system prime a few times by turning the key on without starting it. Then try to start it.

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Other than that you gonna have to backtrack everything you touched and unplugged.

[@twintibbsdiesel93]

Yep had a sensor unplugged lol

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Haha! Happens to all of us. Glad you got it figured out!

[@isaiahphillips2664]

Should I put them in if I’m running a second gen swap?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

It all depends on your ultimate goal/power. If that is all you have I wouldn’t upgrade unless you were replacing the parts anyway.

[@giannid6291]

The fuel connectors final is 41ft lbs , great video though

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

Thanks for watching!

[@joserodas6321]

Why would I need to upgrade the rods and springs?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

I’d say 700hp or more, 50psi + boost, if you are running and aftermarket cam and/or pushing the rev limiter to 4000rpms or more. If you plan on doing any of that i would go ahead and upgrade springs and rods while you are in there doing studs.

[@sicsempertyrannis8830]

So much easier to pull the whole fuel rail and less likely to introduce contamination in the system.

[@marksimmons33]

What year ? 5.9 or 6.7?

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

07 5.9

[@debison518]

Bro you know you put the studs in wrong. The taller ones are supposed run down the exhaust manifold side

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

I appreciate the concern. All IFG studs that I received were the same length. I measured all of them to be sure.

[@Dieselpwr]

I hate the stupid rocker arms they keep going out of speck and sending sparkles though my oil because their a two piece

[@Nathangies]

Hamilton springs are junk just had a valve kiss a piston going with manton now

[@j.j.sgarage1457]

appreciate the heads up. how much power?

[@Nathangies]

J.J.’s Garage 600hp

[@noxdout_cummins4247]

You're probably going around 5k, I'd explain why Hamilton is top notch but you already got your mind made up

[@thesickening0169]

​@@noxdout_cummins4247Right? Like literally EVERYBODY runs Hamilton, they have an amazing track record.
