For vacation we drove from Texas to Las Vegas, the truck had 58K miles
and all has been doing very well. I thought I would be shielded from
the injector problem because of the excellent maintenance program I
keep on my truck, WRONG. About 200 miles into the trip I noticed a very
faint amount of white smoke while idling. I wasn’t sure it was from my
truck or the old car next to me, 300 miles farther down the road it was
no mistaking who’s truck was smoking. Well I had gone too far to turn
back now so I kept driving, and checking the oil level. To make a long
story short by the time we got to Las Vegas the first stop was Bill
Heard Chevrolet, service was great they had the injectors in stock and
replaced 8 of them in a day and half with no remarks about the
Juice+Attitude. Bill Heard Chevrolet / Las Vegas made my day!

Yes I did ask, they were doing a injector job on one when I drove up.
They seemed very confident, and had injectors in stock. I had no choice
but to leave it there, or have it towed all the way back home.

Wonder if that Bill Heard is related to the Bill Heard dealer here in Huntsville, AL? Got excellent service there to fix a leaking fuel pressure sensor.
