96 Cummins Missing?
#13
If you had the timing advanced it will sound like a miss at idle. Most people will not notice it. I have 3 trucks and everyone of them souinded like they where missing after timing was advanced, bigger injectors made it worse. I started cracking lines at the injectors one at a time to tell which hole was missing. I marked the barrel on the pump that went to that cylinder and started moving that one until I got it out. Don't advise doing this but it worked. Bet if the timing was set back to stock the miss would go away. Not saying to do that.
What I am saying is it should be OK if you can put up with the miss.

Well back to this problem and I just talked to the previous owner and he said he didn't do a lift pump. That's my fault I misunderstood. Going down the road you can hear the miss and I just had someone that doesn't know diesels hear my truck and ask if it had a miss so it is noticeable. So all it has is new fuel pump filter and injectors. I really have no idea what to do and like I said before a mechanic for 30+ years on diesels told me a dv but before I spend 250 bucks I want to see how to check certain things any help would be awesome and thank you to the previous answers.
