I had my truck into the dealer yesterday for what I thought was going to be injector(s) failure. Fuel was leaking on the passenger side of cab at a rate of about a quart every 5 min. Left truck with them at about 8:00am and got call about 10:45am. Service writer said, “your truck is ready". I was stunned to say the least from the entire negative I have read, and heard about the 01 injector’s failures.
So I ask, what was wrong? Writer says, “we found a loose fitting on number three injector, tighten it up and its ready to go".
Question is, has anyone ever heard of, or had this happen? And on side note, I did not get a call from Writer before they repaired the leak. That being said, I was not given the chance to tighten the fitting myself and save the $100.00 they charged for the deductible.

Did you even look for the leak yourself? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif I would have, before consigning the Max to the dealer.


If it was not right there for them to see, They spent time hunting it down. Time = $$$$$http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Broken Heart.gif


The fix though, was a quick one. You are fortunate!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


FYI as far as i can recall most injectors, when they go bad, fill the crankcase full of fuel, an internal leak. Please correct me if i am mistaken.

Silverdogs is correct. easymon4u, when you left it for them to find cause of problem and fix, you were caught by the stealer. If it were a "good" stealer they would have called you after finding the problem and gave you an estimate and asked for your authorization to fix it.


I would assume because you had an extended warranty with the $100 deductible, they just went for it and fixed it. Like Silverdogs said: time=$$$$ just to look for the problem and then repair.
