im still new to the cummins world, but has anyone ever hear of the 04.5 cam shaft breaking? i have a 2004.5 2500 cummins, its bone stock. im starting to get ****** off, its been in the shop for over a dang month now.

 

anything is possable but thats the first one I herd about

 

oh okay, thanks. i know i havent seen anyone talk about breaking a cam shaft on here.

 

How the hell does a camshaft break? Only way I have seen that happen before (in Hipo gas engines) was by a conrod flying around in there.

 

First I have heard but not beyond possibility. Did the actual shaft break or the gear on it?

 

I've only heard of it on p7100 applications

 

yes the actual shaft broke.

 

it had to of had a flaw to start with or it was bent and flexing in the bore .can you post a pic?

 

ill get some pictures whenever they get it fixed and see if they cant take me some pictures so i can post them on here.

 

What kind of oil/filter were you using and have you lost any injectors filliing the crankcase with fuel?

 

what kind of replacement are you putting in? I can see this as a great opportunity.
