I was thinking myself about a possible problem with the fuel inj. I did just have the fuel inj sleeves replaced last year.

I don't know what you mean by that post. Who and what did they do to your injectors? This don't sound right just to replace all the sleves and nothing else.

Last year I had fuel in the antifreeze reserve, took it to the local garage and they diagnosed it as a cracked fuel injector sleeve. They replaced all 8 sleeves and O rings (I believe). They put the stock fuel injectors back in the truck. Since then there hasn't been any fuel in the reserve. A previous posting by bill noted possibly an O ring problem but these may have been replaced last year. Could there still be other issues with the fuel inj if indeed this is what was repaired on the truck last year?

i talked to a mechanic yesterday about the problem i have been happening. he said he was 90 % sure it is an injector problem. he thinks an injector is being "lazy" and leaking fuel into the oil. he said it is possible to find out wich one it is and replace the bad one. is this true?
