The injectors have a 2 year warranty so the dealer should replace that one for free. The other 2 you can do yourself.

problem being there is i "messed" with the engine.. which their warranty would be invalidated because of that.. then theyd tack on the fact that even if they did wont warranty it without the replacement of the other 2.. which i cant afford to have them do..

I'd change #2 & #4 since they're under the same rocker cover, then retest.

never knew the firing order on this thing.. thanks for that..

wish i could afford to replace them..

I don't recall just when I took these.






But you can see how #2 is pulling #1 down. #7 is a new injector and so is #8. Mite not be a bad idea for me to think about 2 & 7 at this point.

With back surgery looming. By long trips will be limited for the next 3~4 months.
How ever I can fly is someone has tickets. < Hint >

coolant changing.... it was dribbling initially, after it cooled down it's stopped.



met up with Sparky today and ran Forscan on his truck. Turns out we live about 5 miles apart, maybe even less.

After the coolant change to Rotella ECL... this morning she let a little loose from somewhere other than the degas cap. About 1/2 gallon on the ground after I pulled into work.... wonder where its coming from is killing me as I sit here inside to office and stare at it. Wonder if she knows I'm pissed off?
