Pete it is great you are lending a hand here. I have a couple of questions, Does a stuck injector result in a loss in power ? Any other indications ? I also assume that cylinder exhaust would be cold as well, but I would never think to look at that initially, I would be thinking dirty fuel filters. Just trying to gain the knowledge that will assist me when I am in this situation. Thanks much and enjoy the rainy Sunday ( eastcoast). | ||

Also thinking albeit slowly today, The oil sump will be collecting this additional fuel, not good either. Would this also be true? Thanks guys. | ||

IIRC - when an Injector fails - many times it hold the rack open (full throttle) ??? I'm not sure - perhaps someone else can enlighten us ?? | ||

I had not even thought about carrying spare injectors. Sounds like it might be a good idea. Would one need to carry replacements for EACH injector (eight in my case)? | ||

THe other item needed will be the "pin" used to set the height of the injector. There are at least 2 , so get the proper unit for your engine. Only one injector is OK insurance , but a fist full of jumper tubing is also a good idea. FF | ||

What would you need the jumper tubing for? | ||

Fuel jumper tubing connects the injectors to the fuel supply. They are known to occasionally crack allowing diesel fuel into the oil. This is a "not good" situation. They can be changed easily after removing the valve cover. Jack PS: If Jake brakes are installed, they require different fuel jumpers (to clear the Jake Brakes) | ||

Coach, you don't need a hand full change over to the new style with the o rings they never break,leak and can be used over and over not like the 1 time lines of old good luck |
