Injector Install
I am getting ready to replace my injectors. Is this an easy driveway job or do I need a shop and a diesel mechanic? Does anybody got a writeup on how to do it?

Yes injectors can be installed in the driveway. Be carefull not to bend the steel fuel lines because they have a inner coating that will crack and flake off and clog the injectors if bent to far. Check out the following link for how to replace the injectors.

Also it is a very good idea to have your new injectors pop tested and adjusted if necessary before you install them.
Good luck.

injector replacement is terribly easy, just make sure you get the old copper gaskets out.

Well I got my injectors and got them pop tested. I was told that they were good. I installed them and no more leaking... Whoop! Now though it runs rough at idle.
I cracked the lines and waited to see fuel. Then I got the truck started and it was running rough. I figured that it was air in the lines, so I cracked them again and saw fuel coming out. Did I miss something or do I need to bleed them longer?

you ma try to crack the lines one at a time wen eng is running if it gets worse then that one is working if no change then I would pull that one and get it re tested. I replaced one injector this year the new one was no good I was lucky we tested it before it went in .
