I would still try to get a black IH CPS and put it in there just to eliminate that part of the equation.

Putting in a black CPS sounds like a good idea, but REMOVE IT before you take it back into the dealer.
They will remove it for you and you won't get it back!

Well i went and picked her up. i have to say she runs WAY better then she has in the past while. I think she was slowly getting worse and i didnt really fully notice. But she runs good now. We will have to wait and see how long this injector lasts... LOL

Nolan just stopped by my office on his way back from the dealer. His truck has already set another P0308. He is ready to kill someone. I have offered to swap my CPS with his for a week to see what happens.

I am just wondering if this could just be excessive air buildup @ #8. Could in-tank mods and an FRx maybe solve these issues.

The other thing I suggested was to trace the #8 injector wire to the bundle over the driver's side VC to see if its shorting out somehow.

Anyone else care to chime in?

PS - Nolan, I offered before, but I'm not sure if you remember, I have a spare black CPS you can use to see if that helps.

The 0308 again!!! That sucks. Has to be very disappointing for Nolan.
But he did say the truck was running better.

These are all good sugestions Peter.

It would be nice to know what took out the original injector.

It was running better till the code threw. I feel like my truck is braking #8 injectors...

There is no reason for my truck to have more air in #8 issues then any other truck around. My truck is now running exactly the same as it was before this new injector. When i picked it up it was definitely running better. After i got back to work did some stuff and maybe an hour later I got in my truck and went to drive to run some errands. Maybe 2 min. after i started it I got the SES light. Ran the code while driving and it was 0308. I did not notice it running worse right away. But now I would say it is back to the way it was before the new injector.

It is clear to me now that a bad #8 injector is probably what burnt up my old motor. Since whatever is causing my injector issue hasn't been figured out I am afraid I am back to Square One. The same problem I had at the very beginning. No major symptoms just a P0308 code with an SES light.

I think we are going to try Ohm-ing the injector to see if maybe it is a wiring issue or maybe an IDM issue. Also try swapping CPS's with Stewy's spare blackie. I will update tomorrow after I talk to my friend/ head mechanic at the dealership and see what he thinks.

As always I appreciate every ones insight. I am just very frustrated.
