The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

Those duramaxes take a little bit of money when those injectors are changed.....

Last set I did sounded about the same, but never pulled a sleeve. I even bought the OTC tool to pull the old ones out, and it was still a bear!

Well, it's getting towed to a dealership. Stupid people driving on bad injectors for a year and the carbon that is created on the nozzle.....
![]() I disrupted the loctite seal at the combustion chamber on at least one more injector and I don't have the puller tool. I'm not about to tear into that again and risk screwing up a cup with some hillbilly ingenuity. Looks like I did the next guy a huge favor....those injectors will pop right out this time! Oh well, not like I'm out anything except a few hours. Nothing else was waiting in line anyway.

Damn, that sucks Cody!
Sometimes you can do everything right and something still goes wrong. Was it leaking coolant into a cylinder? |

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?
