How do you know your injectors need to be replaced?

I don't know for sure yet. But I am planning on the worse case right now. I will find out tomorrow after the tech at the dealer gets to play with his fancy computer and my truck for a little while.

If the dealership tells me I need one injector. Well I will just go ahead and replace all of them. Since I am going to replace all of them might as well upgrade to stage 1s.

This winter i'm parking my truck in the warm garage, and putting stage 2's in, can't wait.





thought i'd stare

Is this related to your hard start issue a little while back? Or did the GP's and the relay fix that issue, and this is a new one?

Well the glow plugs fixed it halfway. Now it is cranking and cranking and then fires up pouring out whitesmoke that you can clearly smell as diesel. Doesn't matter can be 80-100 degrees out and still have this problem. Truck will crank and crank for about 30-45 seconds and then it fires up runs real rough and blows whitesmoke. Then it will idle smooth but runs like crap until normal operating temp. Then it runs great, you can hear the miss but once the engine is at normal op temp the miss goes away and truck runs great. Being it is coming to winter time and hunting season is a month away I am getting this fixed. As I do not have the diagnostic equipment to run the tests needed to diagnose the problem so I can fix it.

Basically I am paying 100 dollars tomorrow so I can be told what is wrong with my truck. Then if it comes out to be something like the glow plug control module, or idm, or something of that nature then I will have the problem repaired at the dealer.

But if it is injector/s that are bad then I will do the repair myself and upgrade to stage 1s.

10-4 Hope it all works out well for ya.
I wouldn't mind getting some stage 1's. A small upgrade but an upgrade none the less.
I just don't want to have to pay for em.......

Keep us updated......
