Yeah.

But it's down the road motors right now. I decided to start it this morning. I'll be danged if it isn't working flawlessly. It doesn't pressurize the coolant, it doesn't smoke, nothing. So the customer came to get it. He's going to drive it and see how it works out. He's cool with it....he is understanding of the circumstances. I think he'll be good to go. If not, off to the dealer it will go. Obviously I haven't charged him. If it works out, then I will get my money.

Could it just have been residual coolant left in the cylinder/ exhaust?

I'm thinking that it may have gone from cylinder #5 (the one cup that did pull out) and it filled the exhaust manifold and got into #7 as I was bumping it over. The guy's got 100 miles on it already with no problems as of yet.

dumb dmax's saw one today the guy was driving the thing with half a set of bad injectors it was smoking white so bad, straight raw fuel.. think he would be smart...but guess not..clean truck too.

Picked up another one today.

I have NEVER heard one knock this bad with such little injection pressure.

CHA-CHING!!!!!


I've seen a couple around town that I've thought about confronting the owners about, but on the same token, while the job does pay very well, it's also one of those jobs that you WORK for the money.

I have one in now thats getting a set of injectors....fun fun.

cleatus12r Thu, September 1st, 2011 07:16 PM

I get to take this one back apart since the guy brought his own injectors from NAPA....

#2 overfueling.

GRAND. I won't have that injector until Tuesday....and it just has to be on the hard side (even bank).

If once isn't bad enough, twice certainly sucks.

Were your fuel trims out, puffing black smoke at idle?

cleatus12r Fri, September 2nd, 2011 10:02 PM

Slight knock at idle and 13% balance rate on that hole (when the rest were + or - 1).

Not acceptable. Runs like a mad chief though which is better than I can say than it did before. Anything over 1/4 APP and the thing would start frickin' rattling to beat the band and smoke out both lanes.

LOL


About 8 hours later I got mine finished up, runs a little better with injectors that dont look like this......
