05 5.9/6.7 swap please help!!!!
Ok guys.... I've read all I can find, and I'm still at a loss! I swapped an 08 6.7 in my 05 5.9 truck. Basically everything from the 5.9 was used, other than the head. Everything looks great, but can't get it to run! The injectors seem to fit good, and I just don't know where to look first for my problem! I know that the spray angle isn't correct, and I'm prepared to buy a set of 03-04 tips for it, but my mechanic is convinced that even though they won't work properly, that they'll still run it. Is that true?? It'll crank over, and will hit, but not start. And it actually seems like after turning over a little, it tries to lock up on one cyl. And what I mean by that, is that it seems like it's trying to hydro-lock, I guess you could say. Like the injector is stuck open. But, seems like it's only one that does it. I wouldn't think it's a sealing issue with the crossover tube, because the oil doesn't seem to have fuel in it. You can't hear compression blowing by, so I don't really think it's a seating/sealing issue either. At this point, I'm open to any and all suggestions though. I just really need my truck back!! One other thing though is.... When the rod came through my old 5.9, it took out the ECM. I bought one used off an 04.5, also a 325/610 truck though, and it's also an 848, so I can't see it being a compatibility issue. I sent it off, and it was confirmed to be good. It's just really blowing my mind! If the spray angle is enough difference to keep it from running, I'll order some tips today! I just hate to spend the money, if they should run it, and there's something else that's causing this, that I need to buy. Please help me on this! We do construction, and need this thing back badly!!!! Thank you so much in advance guys!!!! __________________
