I have had 4 full sets of injectors replaced, a #1 injector and last week a #2 injector. This in 266,000 miles.
This one did not act like the others when they failed. The engine idled OK until I would let off the brake, like at a light, and let the truck roll a short distance and the engine would get real rough. When I stopped it would smooth out. The same would happen if I just lightly pressed the accelerator without increasing RPM. I finally had it checked after several thousand miles and the #2 balance rate was 9.3. I had very little smoke when starting or accelerating normally. So little that I could not see it buy my son could when he was behind me.
I am not sure what the balance rate press is suppose to be but replacing the injector solved the problem.
This was a $1014.54 bill out my pocket. When the #1 was replaced it was close to $1200. Not sure what the diff is.
I sure hope this is the last one. The last full set was done at 190,527. I intend to drive this truck until I get my moneys worth or it gets to expensive to drive. I hope that is somewhere around 500K. I might get the new truck bug before that though.16:
