    Injector replacement headed south

    We've got all new valve cover harnesses. I'll check the connection on the turbo Y pipe and it would be safe to say that after 314000 miles the sensor itself could stand to be swapped out. Thanks Joe, I'll update after I get the SES light to go off

    Injector replacement headed south

    Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor is throwing the SES light , is this typical after an injector replacement?

    Injector replacement headed south

    Contribution test failed on cylinder 1 & 8. That's what I was told threw the codes. Does that mean I got bad injectors from Pensacola or what else could that be?

    Injector replacement headed south

    I ordered a pensacola injector kit with glow plugs and valve cover harnesses. My buddy got everything back together and fired it up and a check engine light came on. The truck is a 2000 and did not have an AE injector. He put the old injector back in to replace the AE with the kit, the light was...

    Is this injectors or something else?

    Fired up much better, small puff of white smoke. Still had the vibration when shifting into the higher gears but quit once it was warm. Had to come home from work, stomach bug so didn't drive it a ton. Will report back tomorrow.

    Is this injectors or something else?

    Just got an oil change today, I was a little over, 15w40 oil. Ill post back after I start in morning to see if it has helped any. Prior to getting the oil changed, the truck had one instance if a hitch while running about 50 mph, about 5 mins later when pulling up to red light it cut out on me...

    Is this injectors or something else?

    Update--- I haven't ran truck since Friday afternoon. Got in today to run to the shop, took about 5 mins to get it going, outside temp is 80 or so. When I tried cranking, every other time I turned the key it acted like it wanted to start and then every other time it would just spin and never try...

    If I end up taking this to the local mechanic, what would be a fair expected price for this, not the stealership

    Sounds good. Im going to look into getting them changed out. Any good source for good parts on this? Any tricks to make it any easier?

    Is this injectors or something else?

    Never have, I have considered that but haven't pulled the trigger. Could glow plugs cause the hitch or skip when running down the interstate?

    Is this injectors or something else?

    I have a 2000 F350 4x4, every winter when it drops below 50 and I haven't plugged it in, I have a time getting it started. Tons of white smoke and it just cranks and cranks but no fire. If I plug her in she fires right up. After a few minutes of driving all is well. A couple of other things I...

    Fuel problem? Only cool mornings

    I have a 2000 7.3 with 240000 miles. I live in SE Ga and we just now have been having some cooler mornings around 55-65. I have had no problems when I crank and let idle for 5-10 mins. If I crank and hop in and start down the road it runs a little rough and will eventually power down. I have to...

    When it is raining....truck shuts off

    I have a 2000 f350, I live in SE Ga and when it is raining or damp outside the truck will begin acting up. When I am riding down highway and it starts it will have a sudden hitch and the SES light comes on. If I am in town and it starts it will just cutoff at redlights and when turning, etc. It...
