Cummins ISX Dual Cam Parts – Injector Section

The Cummins ISX Dual Cam engine represents one of the most advanced and robust powerplants in Cummins’ heavy-duty engine lineup. Its fuel system — particularly the injectors — is a critical component that ensures the engine maintains precise combustion efficiency, optimal fuel delivery, and emission compliance. This section provides an in-depth look at high-quality rebuilt injectors and repair kits available for Cummins ISX and QSX engines, all offered by Diesel Pro Power, the trusted source for over 40,000 satisfied customers worldwide.


Overview of the Cummins ISX Dual Cam Fuel Injection System

The Cummins ISX Dual Cam engine is unique in that it uses two separate camshafts — one for actuating the valves and another for driving the injectors. This dual-cam design provides improved timing accuracy and enhanced fuel atomization, leading to smoother engine operation, greater power output, and lower emissions.

Each ISX engine uses six injectors, one per cylinder, precisely controlled by the engine’s ECM (Electronic Control Module). These injectors operate at extremely high pressures to ensure fine fuel atomization, which directly affects combustion quality, torque generation, and fuel economy.

With thousands of ISX Dual Cam engines still operating in commercial trucks, heavy machinery, and industrial power applications, injector maintenance remains essential for reliable performance and long engine life.


Rebuilt Cummins Injectors for ISX and QSX Engines

Diesel Pro Power provides premium rebuilt injectors for both Cummins ISX and Cummins QSX engines, ensuring OEM-level performance and dependability. Each rebuilt injector undergoes a complete teardown, ultrasonic cleaning, component replacement, and flow testing to meet or exceed factory standards.

Cummins Injector for ISX and QSX Engines – Rebuilt (Option 1)

Application: ISX Dual Cam and QSX engines
Quantity Required: Six per engine
Condition: Professionally rebuilt with OEM components
Core Deposit: Refundable upon return of old injector
Availability: In stock and ready to ship worldwide

These injectors are fully calibrated for consistent fuel delivery and feature advanced nozzles engineered to handle high combustion pressures typical of ISX and QSX models. Each unit is performance-tested for spray pattern uniformity, internal sealing integrity, and correct opening pressure.

Diesel Pro Power’s rebuilt injectors not only restore factory fuel efficiency but also help reduce white smoke, misfires, and excessive fuel consumption often seen in worn injectors.


Cummins Injector for ISX and QSX Engines – Rebuilt (Option 2)

This second variation of the ISX/QSX injector offers a comparable level of precision with minor design differences tailored to specific CPL (Control Parts List) configurations. Cummins frequently issued updated injector versions for different engine builds, and Diesel Pro Power’s catalog ensures you’ll find the correct match for your CPL number.

To confirm compatibility, customers can verify their CPL number directly through Diesel Pro’s online fitment guide before purchase. This guarantees that each injector matches the timing, pressure, and ECM control strategy required for the specific engine build.

Key features include:

  • High-pressure tested for 100% leak-free operation

  • New sealing washers, springs, and precision-ground needles installed

  • Certified flow-matched for balanced fuel distribution across all cylinders

The result is smoother idle quality, faster throttle response, and improved long-term durability under heavy load operation.


Cummins Injector for ISX and QSX Engines – Rebuilt (Option 3)

This version is optimized for later ISX Dual Cam configurations and compatible with select QSX industrial variants. It delivers the same reliability as new OEM injectors at a fraction of the cost.

Each injector is assembled in a clean-room environment and bench-tested using digital calibration equipment to match factory pulse width modulation and fuel rate tolerances.

Whether used in on-highway trucks, construction equipment, or marine power units, these injectors deliver consistent atomization and combustion stability, ensuring:

  • Lower emissions output

  • Reduced engine noise

  • Extended service intervals

  • Optimized fuel consumption in variable load conditions

Diesel Pro Power ensures rapid shipping worldwide, with injectors carefully packaged and sealed to prevent contamination prior to installation.


Cummins ISX and QSX Injector Repair Kit

For maintenance professionals and operators performing in-house servicing, Diesel Pro Power offers the Cummins ISX and QSX Injector Repair Kit, designed for injector resealing and minor refurbishment.

Each kit includes all the essential components required to refresh injector integrity, including:

  • O-rings

  • Sealing washers

  • Internal springs

  • Retaining clips

  • Nozzle seat gaskets

This repair kit is ideal for preventing fuel leaks and restoring correct injection pressure when full injector replacement isn’t necessary. It is compatible with multiple ISX and QSX injector models and helps maintain consistent performance between major overhaul intervals.


Understanding the Importance of Injector CPL Numbers

Cummins engines use CPL (Control Parts List) numbers to define precise component groupings within each engine variant. For injectors, the CPL dictates:

  • Injector calibration values

  • Fuel rate and pressure curves

  • Nozzle design and spray angle

  • ECM control parameters

Selecting the correct injector for your CPL number ensures perfect synchronization between the mechanical and electronic systems, preventing over-fueling or power loss.

Diesel Pro Power provides comprehensive guidance on identifying your engine’s CPL number. This can typically be found on the metal dataplate located on the rocker lever cover or near the fuel pump area. By cross-referencing this information, you’ll be assured of proper injector fitment.


The Role of Injectors in ISX Dual Cam Engine Performance

In the Cummins ISX Dual Cam system, injectors do more than simply deliver fuel — they play a central role in combustion timing and emissions control. Properly functioning injectors provide:

  • Consistent fuel atomization: Ensures clean and complete combustion.

  • Balanced cylinder output: Prevents uneven wear and maintains power balance.

  • Reduced soot accumulation: Enhances DPF and EGR system performance.

  • Optimized fuel economy: Ensures every drop of fuel contributes to power output.

When injectors wear, drivers or operators often notice:

  • Hard starting or extended crank time

  • Uneven idle or engine misfires

  • Increased fuel consumption

  • Blue or white exhaust smoke

  • Excessive regeneration cycles (on emissions-equipped engines)

Replacing or rebuilding injectors at the recommended service interval can prevent costly damage to pistons, cylinder liners, and turbochargers.


Testing and Quality Assurance

Each Diesel Pro Power injector undergoes a rigorous multi-stage testing process that includes:

  1. Visual inspection for housing cracks or thread damage

  2. Ultrasonic cleaning to remove carbon buildup

  3. Flow bench calibration to ensure accurate metering

  4. High-pressure testing for leaks and pressure consistency

  5. Spray pattern evaluation for atomization accuracy

Only units that meet or exceed OEM performance thresholds are approved for resale. This ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance across all six cylinders.


Installation Tips for ISX Dual Cam Injectors

Proper installation is vital to ensure injector longevity and correct engine operation. Diesel Pro Power recommends:

  1. Always clean the injector bore and fuel passages before installation.

  2. Replace all seals and copper washers included with the injector or repair kit.

  3. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten hold-down bolts to Cummins specifications.

  4. Prime the fuel system to remove air before starting the engine.

  5. After installation, verify injector calibration with a diagnostic tool or Cummins Insite software to ensure synchronization with the ECM.

Taking the time to follow these steps ensures optimal injector seating, proper fuel delivery, and avoidance of leaks or misfires.
