Injector Service???
Hi Guys (and Gals)
Just had my truck in the dealer for the CPS. He suggested I make an appointment to get my injectors "flushed" by some special machine. Cleans and lubes them, he says, and they recommend it every 30k.
Anyone had this done? Is it needed, does it make a difference, would you recommend it?
2000 PSD 40k
Thanks as usual,
Bob

We offer the BG Fuel Injection Service for both gas and Diesel engines. I did my 97 Shortly after purchasing it and really didn't notice much difference in the way it ran. I've had customers tell me they noticed a seat of the pants difference in driveability though. I have noticed a difference in power on my gas engines after doing the flush. I think it's a good service but is a little pricey.

Probably, the machine we use is hooked into both fuel pressure and return lines and runs a ton of solution through. We run it a minimum of 30 minutes then replace the fuel filter because they sometimes plug up after the service.

You can get brand new Alliant Power stock injectors for less than what the dealer charged you for a rebuilt.
You can also get a good shop manual c/d off of e-bay for $30-40.
