Just got my truck back, had all new injectors replaced and new injector lines, drove 4 miles, filled the crankcase full of diesel fuel, just wondering if the replacement injectors are rebuilt because I seen re-manufactured on the boxes.
Thanks, Animal

I had injectors done on an '01. Dealer said they send the old ones back to be rebuilt. I wanted to get one for a paper weight - rats!

A more likely cause would be the tech didn't tighten return line fittings or fully seat an injector line to an injector.

Been there done that, it is easy to do. especially when trying to beat the clock.

I have resigned myself to loosing at this job, especially on the 4500/5500s.
the light duty trucks I can come close with out rushing. I'd rather loose the first time, not the return trip, less time is lost for all parties involved.

How long can you expect that engine to last now that its run on diluted motor oil.I wouldnt be happy at all.

The return lines would be my guess too.
