THE NUMBER 4 CYL FUEL DELIVER LINE OFF OF THE COMMON RAIL SYSTEM CRACKED ON MY 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IF ANYONE SIMPLY SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET. DIESELTRUCKRESOURCE.COM FOR INSTANCE HAD ONE THREAD WITH OVER 40 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS. THE ISSUE WITH THIS FUEL LINE IS THAT IT IS HELD DOWN BY AN INFERIOR CLAMP DESIGN THAT VIBRATES, LOOSENS, THEN THE LINE FAILS DUE TO ENGINE VIBRATION. THE PART THAT CHRYSLER REPLACES WITH IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. WHEN MINE BROKE MY ENGINE WAS NOT HOT YET, BUT IF THE EXHAUST WAS HOT I'M SURE IT COULD HAVE IGNITED. I DUMPED PROBABLY 2 GALLONS OF DIESEL WHEN IT WENT. WITH SUCH A HIGH PRESSURE IN THAT COMMON RAIL SYSTEM IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE AS WELL. I WORK FOR A DIESEL ENGINE PROVIDER AS AN ENGINEER AND WOULD BE ASHAMED OF MY COMPANY IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL TO PROTECT OUR CUSTOMERS IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS.
