Well, the install has not happened yet, I have not even made the tool duplicate yet that Eaton sent to me-thanks for your patience!
I was losing coolant at a slow sip, and a couple of the injectors were getting noisy-almost like noisy piston rings on a dirt bike, if you know what that sounds like. However, in the meantime, the truck has needed a front end brake job, again, shocks, new rear diff. cover and fluids, and EBPS sensor/tube/manifold connector. I've also been laid off from my job, so I'll have some time to get at the rest of this stuff-first is to get the tools made so I can send them back to the guy who borrowed em to me-thanks again Eaton.
I think this injectors/cups problem started after I did a little experimentation with burning waste oil as fuel; used Amsoil synthetics to be exact. I'm no scientist, AND I have not pulled the injectors/cups yet, but I'm
guessing that synthetic waste oil burns at a much higher temp. and creates too much compression for the injectors/cups to handle over the long run. Maybe at 154K miles she's just ready for the fresh injectors and cups? I'm getting there...
