Injector troubles

Last week, I started the truck and had 1 injector not firing. Long story short, after consulting the OBS PSD forum, I got some ideas as to what could be wrong and found the problem this morning. A loose screw inside the injector. Tightened it up and we're all good now. I called the dealership in Brandon just in case, and they wanted $595 for 1 new injector!!!!! I nearly choked. I love this website.

Good stuff, glad you found a cheap fix. I`d be real choked to spend $595 needlessly, just over a silly loose screw, that would would be a bummer!
Looks like now I need to bleed the fuel system on my 86 LN8000/3208 Cat, when I went to start it last week it fired afew times and quit firing. I think that there`s abit of air in the fuel system somewhere. That is very strange, it`s never done this before after a winter`s 5 month slumber.....

Hope that's an easy fix too. I wouldn't have paid that much anyway. I can get them online for $127. Either way, it's not cheap! This afternoon, I got some shimming done on my front seats (They weren't quite level), and put the guard/skid plate on for the transfer case. Including the stuff under the hood, my rig should be feeling well loved today!!

Nice going on the repairs Dave, its always nice when a guy can do his own work, and save a ton of cash while doing it!

You got that right! I had some fun doing it too. It was a nice change of pace from being at work.

Any other big plans for the diesel this year Dave?

No 'big' plans. I still have to put the intercooler in and bushwacker flares on. Othr things would be next front shocks and some nice brake hoses. I guess the IC is kind of a big project!!
