I have a 2010 LMM Duramax. When the truck is below 180 +- deg. It idles rough and has one injector pressure (#8) at about 7mm. It smokes really bad as well. Once it’s warm it runs great. New injectors. And I took the one injector (8)with high rate and switched it with another (6) and problem stayed in original (8)cylinder. New ECM, new GPCM , new map sensor . EFI Live , dpf delete, EGR is still on just inactive. Somebody please help !
 
Sorry, can’t help with the issue but when FERM sees this thread he can probably help you out.
 
Which injector exactly did you swap? Front or rear on passenger side or drivers side? Did you use a tech 2 to program the new injector flow rates?

And the number you're seeing has nothing to do with pressure, it's the balance rate. That is how far +/- from the fuel rate each 8njector is injecting.
 
The issue is with injector 8 had 3 different injectors in that hole. All the same. Rates aside. When that number goes up after about 20 seconds or so. The truck runs a little rough and starts smoking a lot. Coolant levels good oil level is good. And yes recalibrated everything with tech2
 
Which cylinder are you calling #8? I've seen many mess up and keep swapping #7 not realizing the DURAMAX's cylinder ordering is different from other GM engines. Even seen guys at the dealership make this mistake, thats why I'm asking.
 
Just making sure, you would be surprised how many swear #1 is the front drivers side. I would be doing a compression test if it was mine..
