Makin' it better!
Well, today I finished the job! Yep, that's right, I finished putting in marine injectors today. I am not as fast as ChrisK, mind you but got er done. Did it without removing the turbo, wasn't even all that bad. The heat shield came out rather easy and the injectors were no problem. You just have to be patient. Well, in the mean time I bumped that stupid crossover quick connect and leaking we will go!:hurray: Well, I knew it was on the way out, so after I was done with the injectors, I took off the thermostat housing, peeled out the broken part of the fitting and spent 4 bucks on some 5/8 heater hose and a 1/2 thread by 5/8 nipple with hose barb and 3 clamps. Worked excellent!:smilewinkgrin: I put in new stats right away and flushed the coolant. I tell you, if it's not 1 thing, its 10! Well, I finished the job, and fired her up. It cranked for couple of seconds, then fired. Wow, what relief. No leaks at all! :hurray:The T-stats I put in are 180's and the operating temp is lower than before. I feel better somehow.
Results: The truck sounds different at idle, tighter somehow, crisper. I noticed throttle response is crisper and it pulls better at low rpm and shifts sooner. Seems to have better torque. I hope this translates to better mileage! I know a lot of guys have changed injectors and noticed very little to nothing, but I really noticed a difference.
Thanks everyone for input and all the previous knowledge shared here and other "Places"!
Time for Guages, Intercooler, TD07 and HP4! Anyone have any money I can borrow?:ihih:
Thanks,
Mike
