All 8 replaced

[WanaDmxSub]

Just got my truck back today. Not sure how they did it...but they used bad balance rates on 2 injectors to replace all under the special policy. Also said they had to replace the sleeves. I did ask any questions...just happy to get the truck back with new (rem) injectors. Only thing I told them was that it smoked at idle. But I knew the balance rates were off also.

glad you were able to get a new set, hopefully this will be your last too,

Thats good, ive always heard everyone having bad luck with injectors, i guess ive just had really good luck, this is my second dmax and both have never been replaced. knock on wood...

Fuel system is 100% stock.
Fuel filter changed every 5k.
If this set last 4.5 years/70k like the last set (minus the 2 that were replace at 800 miles) that will put me out of warranty...time for more filtration...and maybe a lift pump

acording to the TSB
injector rate
fuel in oil
hazy smoke at idle

and a several other symptoms state ALL injectors get replace. the guys that have only getting a couple changed are getting screwed

where's your dealership at?? sounds like they were pretty good to work with, especially with all your mods.

i've got a lopey idle lately, i'm wondering if i have an injector or two starting to go. hopefully i can get as lucky as you with service froma good dealer.

i popsted both TSB for the INJ this a ecerpt about halve way down the mess

If fuel return flow on either the right or left cylinder bank is above the initial fuel injector bank return flow value, then replace all eight (8) fuel injectors using the Fuel Injector Replacement procedure in the Engine Controls section of the appropriate Service Manual.

Where did you read "hazy smoke at idle" in the TSB/Special policy? I don't see it.

Ryan
It takes me 1/2 a day to get the truck ready for the dealer and then another 1/2 a day to put it all back...

i was quoteing fomr memory.. go through it again and check for the symptoms i could be worng about the hazy smoke

Smoke isn't one of the symptoms (but we all know what it means...:frown2 for the special policy. If you follow the service manual it leads you down a different path to individual injector replacement.
