Just like it sounds. I would like to buy one for my garage

 

Kevin...I'm pretty sure Prince Auto sells the diesel compression tester..

 

I was looking on the website,, they have some testers, but not one with the adaptor for our engines, or at least that I could see.

 

Your right...Where the heck did I see one on sale???It could of been at NAPA..maybe

 

i sourced out a bluepoint guage and snapon IEBe adapter from our snapon dealer at work for joe just last fall. its not cheap junk ,you know its going to last.

I could get you the same I have the part numbers still.

 

ISB and ISBe different?

 

no. but its listed as ISBe in the snap-on catalogue.

 

Appears they have a rear gear train to reduce noise, grabbed from google

 

ISBs are the 98-02s? and ISBe is 02-07? Never been able to remember which each one is. Princess auto did have a compression tester on sale about 6 months ago. I almost bought I didnt think it would work on my 05. It had something like 6 different adapters. Don't know if they still carry it tho. All these cummins run all their gears up front their purple. I don't want to sound like an *****, just saying. I hate how a guy always sounds like an a** on a forum no matter how you try word it.

 

I too saw one at princess, had it in my hands and I'm certain it listed the cummins 5.9 on the box, I picked it up then put it down, hummed and hawed, but left it there(LOL)

 

Luke, do you remember how much it was?

 

The "E" stands for European, that what the Cummins instructor tells us. He showed us 1day in class on what all the prefixes stand in Cummins World, since there a worldwide engine, or so they claim, lol. Sorry, no help to you Kevin about compression testers thou.

 

I have always been under the impression that the 'e' was for Echo.

Purple, a lot of the CR's in ag and industrial applications have rear gear train, but not all. AFAIK, the Dodge 6.7 is the only 6.7 with a front gear train.

 

I believe you may be mistaken, here is a picture of the rear gears on a ISBe motorclick me

 

yep had the tester in my hands to day and it had the adapter for 98-2003 5.9 24V, price was 150$
