Company truck has 146k, hard starting, dealer says 5 bad injectors bad. They will replace all at 1/2 price with new style injector. Question is I did't know there was a new style injector. Cost is gonna be around $1500.00.

That is a great price. I hope this is evidence of things to come.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

geno, that is a big time bargain. Far cry from the $4200 bill a new friend of mine just paid. Later! Frank

Gonna replace 5, you may as well replace all 8 while it is apart!

Why have mixed injectors.... half price for all eight.

its a good price. yes there new injectors
1st design was 01-mid 02 had problems with injector body housing craking.
mid02-current lb7 they have some kind of build up on the hydrualic side of the electric silnoid causing them to stick open.

Thanks Pat


All 8 will be replaced, I just wanted to know about new style. Pat yo the man.

Got the truck back and runs and starts like a new one, Total bill was $1781.03. This was for labor and the factory picked up the parts. This is the third time this truck has had injector problems. First was at around 40k (2 injectors an pump) second time 103k (8 injectors factory paid after big argument) then this time. I think the only reason they helped this time is we have the dealer do all scheduled maint and we change fuel filter every other time the oil is changed so they could not pass the blame to us. Wonder how long these will last?

Made mistake on mileage on first post 153788 instead of 146000Edited by: geno

Geno, what was the labor charge?????


GM payed for parts and you get stuck with a 1700 labor bill! Yikes

How long is warranty on 2001 injectors?

If Gm knows they have a problem with these injectors they should cover ALL cost.They are telling us that by giving parts free of charge!
