Cummins 6BT Fuel Pump Removal (Real Time)

[roscoFJ73]

I had a throttle shaft bushing that was a little loose. It will need new bushings.

With 240K miles on it he recomended that I do the full rebuild that will last another 250k miles.


He knows injector pumps so I'm taking his recomendation.

Even the techs who nothing will tell you that

But I tend to agree,once they are off and you have to open them up,you may as well go the whole hog and have everything checked/fixed.
Sometimes there is a big increase in power after a rebuild,particuarly in the higher rpms

The shaft he grabbed actually wiggled.

D',

I think you're getting a good deal on a total rebuild of your IP. A rebuild here in Austin would be around $1k+. Make sure all the o-rings are Viton or equivalent and you should be good to go for another 200k miles.

My leak was behind/under the adnoid? It was not suppose to be leaking there.

After I showed it to my local diesel shop guy, he refered directly to the injector pump shop. He even called the injector shop between the time I left his shop and drove 6 blocks to the injector pump shop.

did you send a PM to boots .. maybe he know someone that have a spare IP . .

Well the pump was rebuilt. I asked him to put a 3800rpm spring in it, but he refused. He said the only way he would do it is if I had the head off and was upgrading the exhaust valves and all the valve springs.

Here are the pics of the hole it goes in.

Here is the bling.

It is all installed and connected, except for that one nut on the bottom of the pump.


I seem to have lost my pump pin lockout plate.

Here is the bling.

Is that a Stanadyne pump?

Bosch

I finally got the pump mounted. That back bottom nut is a pain. I had to moidfy the wrench again. I tried to buy the correct wrench but the Matco, Snap-On, Cornwell, Mac tool reps do not carry them. They can order them and it would take 10 days to get.

I should have it up and running in a few hours.

Project is done.


I took it for a test drive and it seems to blowing black smoke a bit.
