Injectors are marked Reman on slip 97729095.
I wont list all the gasket but my question is what are 97188720,721,722,723 pipes? Eric are those the HPCR lines you replaced on Hoot's for seat erosion ,"looking metal" fatigue?
Mac :confused:

Mac, were the pipes covered under warranty or did you have to eat the cheese on those?

Hey Mac,
So what's "Remanufactured" mean? Does this mean they took the core and made the revision or did they just put new parts in them and we could see fallout again in about the same time frame?
Glad to hear you were taken care of. My "conversion" is coming soon, Been 5 weeks now. Expecting call any day. Look forward to having my truck back. Starting to notice the power diminishing. Daughters tell me that my truck starting to sound like older Cummins... :eek: Have not been towing much weight since diagnosed. Amazingly, my MPG is increasing slightly....Go figure

mine were replaced and it is quieter and smokes less even of juice level 5. Also starts a lot quicker.

Reman means they aren't new. As far as I know,and I'm pretty positive they drop a complete Reman to spec in and send the entire injector back as a core.They wouldn't want a miss assembly in the field.
Yes the truck sounds runs brand new!

Mac,
Thanks. I look forward to the new injectors.
Again my goal was to get to 200K and beyond. I think the motor is quite capable of that. The rest of the drivetrain is stellar.
I going to add up all my maintenace costs to to the 100K miles point and post. It really has been minimal. This has been a very reliable truck and has never let me down.
Phase 2 of it's life will have the Edge, AFE intake and exhaust. Be fun to feel the difference.
