    It was not. It had excessive blowby. So I rebuilt the motor. I unplug all injectors one at a time. absolutely nothing. Same ####.

    May have to pull out a dial indicator and see if the cam is toast or something. Another thing I noticed on Cummins insight is my ambient temperature stays at 59 degrees. It was 80 degrees today in Georgia.

    You missed part of what I was saying. If you unplug one and it does not make any difference leave it unplugged. Go to the next one if it starts missing firing plug it back in. The same way and continue that through all cylinders. What is the result?

    Yes I did do that. Same result. No change in anything just popping, smoking and miss firing. I did all cylinders like u said by leaving them unplugged. No change in anything

    very minimal blowby. Engine was rebuilt. Doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Oil pressure at 20 at idle and around 40 to 45 1200 rpm and wot.

    Truck always had a long start before rebuild and after rebuild. Never would start up right away. I’m still digging. Gotta be a mechanical issue?

    Are you sure the cam timing is correct? Did it ever run well after the overhaul?

    I bought the truck needing a rebuild. So I don’t know what the ism is supposed to feel like. All I know is that it’s more powerful then my dt466e

    also is possible that the mechanical part could be bad and electrical be good on an injector? My cooling fan was welded so it ran all the time. The short period of time I drove it it never got to operational temperature.

    Does it have Jake’s ? I had a friend that rebuilt his Jake’s and when he reinstalled them, had that same sound you had, found out he pinched one of the o-rings when he rebuilt the Jake’s. Just my .02.
