Cool Injector Saga (The sequel)?!?!?!

So a very long story short. I had a new motor put in my truck in July of 08 due to a #8 cylinder issue. The code i was getting was a P0308 ( Fault Cylinder H-Misfire Detected (CYLINDER 8)). Went threw alot of headache and threads figuring it out.

Now i have a new motor (with warranty) and have been getting a random 308 code for a few months tripping the SES light. So yesterday i took my truck to the dealership to have it looked at. My friend/head mechanic called me this morning and told me that the #8 injector is failing! SO they are putting a new injector in it and then throw some more test at it. We decided to throw a non LL injector in there for S&G's.

Anyone that cares to do alot of reading you will find some great info and alot of laughs by reading my saga. He is the link to the first one.

So anyway just wanted to share my misery. And hope everyone els is having a great day...

Nolan, just a quick question.

In your other thread they addressed the grey CPS issue. Is your current motor running that, or do you have a black one in there?

Good luck with that new injector Nolan.

If you still have stock fueling, no RR, you are going to get some cackle, so be ready for it.

Might be a good idea to check, and if it's grey, swap it out with a black one. At least that will tell you if it's a phantom code or not.
