Cool Maybe this will do it...

So as I have been fighting with my truck about this #8 injector code issue I finally came to buying a new injector. Last week I swapped out the UCVH on the drivers side in hopes that this would fix the issues I've been having. Turned out to be a whole lotta work for nothing.
Oh well... So friday I ended up ordering a new injector since my "friend" flaked on me with the one he said he had. It was suppose to come into the auto parts store around noon on Saturday so i tore down my truck with great antisapation that morning.
One o'clock hits and no call from the store. So i called them only to find out that the new injector didnt make it onto the truck and since they dont do runs on sundays i am stuck till Monday...
So here I am on my only day off driving my boss's mini-van with no fun stuff to do on my truck since i'm mad at it.
I did however pull the old injector out only to find that it is no surprise it dosnt work!!! It was gummed up with oil/sludge and had some discolorization to it. I hate to think what my other 7 look like... Well hopfully the new one will come tomarrow and al will be ok. Wish me luck. If this dosnt fix my problem then I will be selling myself on the corner so that I can afford to have it delt with at a shop!!! hahaha

Is that the price of the injector, or Nolan's price tag when he goes to sell himself on street corners?

If he dresses nice, I'm thinking he could get ATLEAST $205.00.

Brandon: that may be the going rate for me... but unfortunately enough the injector was $315. plus the $180 core.

Hey, if you're serious, I work with a bunch of wealthy older ladies who would probably take you up on that.

We could call it the "I dont mind if you have dentures if you buy me injectors" benefit.

In all seriousness, i'll be interested to see if this injector solves your woes.

If Nolan's username is discriptive, to get that kind of money he will have to be catching and not pitching.

Just as a friendly gesture, just to mess with a brother stroker (apparently a brother with a shorter stroke) I've been wantin' to give Nolan some crap about his username...but nothing I could have come up would have been any better.

I finely found an opportunity. Nolan has a great since of humor though.
