Injectors, All the same?

[TheHouseDoctor]

Okay so I have #2,6,and #8 injectors bad "according to dealer". They offered up injectors at $350+ and I said no thanks. My thought is if I am going to replace injectors, might as well do it once and then be done. I have browsed the web and haven't really found anyone that says one injector beats out another. I only have 88K miles and am religious with oil changes and service. Is there a brand I should look at? go with factory injectors? DieselLogic? Any help would be appreciated.

Probably a harness bad. This a 7.3?

I made my Samsung SGH-I997 send this.

[TheHouseDoctor]

No, 6.0.. They didn't say anything about a harness issue. cold, these injectors are not firing until warmed up...

[jesilvas]

Check batteries for load handling, battery connections, ficm still and while cranking. Then try again

Injectors should not have failed at only 80k. I smell a bad/weak FICM.

[TheHouseDoctor]

I had FICM checked already. it's good... The dealer tried to say I hadn't been changing the oil, but I do it every 5k, and have receipts. Unfortunately I'm past the warranty for the five years....

How and who checked the FICM? There is more than one aspect/function of a FICM that needs to be correct/checked.

If the dealer is blaming you for the failures, ie; oil changes, he also seemingly knows the injectors shouldn't have failed at this early mileage. So,,,You state you have done the oil changes required, and I believe you in part because poor oil changes don't really lead to failed injectors, so there must/should/may be another reason the injectors failed. ie: A FICM with a failing DC-DC converter, making less than the needed 48v, but may still look ok on an IDS.

Bottom line, I would look into what caused the failures, be it the FICM or other. Injectors aren't cheap, and labor ain't also.
