Cm2250 overfueling intermittently

I didn't say all 6 were bad. They had 686k on them so I figured it would be smart to just change them all.

According to the paperwork I have the internals were rebuilt about 2 yrs ago. I don't have the paperwork in front of me right now

It would be under fueling correct? And it would be constant not intermittent

You need to run fuel rail pressure test, how quick fuel pressure drops. Make sure pressure release valve is not leaking.
Then put plugs on injector supply line to eliminate leaking one.
It's highly possible leaking is more then one injector. need to check one after one.
Cummins quick serve has all tests and procedures how it to do.
Looks like you are one more victim of impact wrench happy mechanic .

Supposedly the time before last the shop changed out the connector tubes. I can't say one way or another but I was charged for it but then again that shop also said my injectors were tested fine.

Correct on the under fueling. From what I have read it starts throwing a code on hard pulls and gradually gets worse, that being said the truck will run for quite awhile during failure. I purchased a truck that had the cm2250 that was not running and the issue was the ceramic plungers in pump ....furthermore from the internal damage I could tell it had run for awhile during failure.

Well, we will never figure out what's going wrong without reliable test result. Shop's words or paperwork have zero value for me except few mechanics i know.
Here is my advise, get Inline adapter and Insite ASAP and run all required tests for fuel system diagnostic. Post results here and we can help. Otherwise it's just blind guessing and wasting money in shop.

Tamil, Snailexpress is correct you need to start understanding how the engine (fuel, electrical) systems work. If you keep telling shops to check this and that? or continuously allow them to work on it you will be broke. When you get present issue sorted out make sure you check your fuel pump for those ceramic plungers!!!!!! they are engine killers!!!!! No check engine light and no code? and engine is barely running? odd!!

Stupid question but did they update the injector code from the injector to ecm when they did injectors?
