It was smoking bad at idle. "excessive overfueling on injector #7" was the diag.

Everything else was in spec. That's why they only replaced the one. (this work is being done at the chevy dealer, not the dodge dealer I bought the truck from)

Did you remove the Edge before taking it to the dealer?

Sure did. Not worth risking it over 5 mins of work.

It runs fine. I've only got 97K on the clock right now. 103K left on the warrentee. 30K on a full coverage warrantee.

I'll be keeping the repair papers though. Next time it gives me the least problem injector wise. I'll be having a full set of 8 replaced.

Only reason I say that is that if they go while you are driving it chances are motor can get damaged and probably won't die until after 200k. I got that advice from a member here who had that problem. It won't hurt to ask. I had them do all 8 in mine when one went out. Just my $.02.
