How long would you run these injectors?
Okay well that’s a new one... got everything all buttoned up and was going to bleed the fuel system by just running the air dog with key on. so I turned the key on and walked over to filter head and by the time I got there and was about to reach for bleeder screw I heard a big pop. Sounded like... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Yup it was green and not magnetic. That sounds like a good likelihood. There was minimal loctite to clean up on each cup once it did come out and surface on the head, at least compared to my only other injector job which was the 02. Good call. yup that’s how I did mine, both at the injectors... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Scratches in the cup were from me, I did that on one cup when I was first getting my removal method down. Holding the injector next to it, its nowhere near the o-ring on the injector so I’m thinking it’s fine. metal shaving was a weird one for sure. Didn’t look like any source material I saw in... -
How long would you run these injectors?
You talking about that weird metal shaving? I’m not sure what could have rotated enough in the head to produce that. The only rotating part should be the rocker arm shaft, and it wouldn’t have made the pencil like shaving? Maybe the dealer who replaced the injectors the first time? also pretty... -
How long would you run these injectors?
I forgot to check if the piece was magnetic, it looked like it would be and it had a greenish tiny/hue to it that was hard to pickup in the pics. -
How long would you run these injectors?
I got a cheapie bore scope from HF and found some weird stuff in the heads/cylinders. first I noticed each injector/cup dropped some crud into the cylinder when I removed them. I was able to vacuum out one because I wasn’t sure what it was, but then my vacuum quit. The rest should just burn up... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Jeez, I think this is more difficult than my 02 was. Cups and injectors have been a pain to get out. I scuffed the inside of a cup getting it out. Shouldn’t matter as long as the copper o-ring surface and the area the rubber o-ring seal on are fine right? -
In need of custom bolt
What’s it for? I’m assuming it’s not possible to retap the hole to a common thread pitch?- fl0w3n

How long would you run these injectors?
Well that wasn’t how I envisioned that going... These valve cover bolts fought me harder than my 02 did, but that’s probably because the 02 had people in the valve covers more frequently than the 04 and there was all that extra oil to loosen them up haha and this is the result. Had to drill... -

Also, an update on the original purpose of the thread... finally pulled the trigger on SAC45s from @Brent@LDS who took real good care of me! it’s so much nicer being able to work on this thing without having to travel 600 miles to do so. Making some good progress after work. Hoping to have at... -
How long would you run these injectors?
I’ll take a closer look at them. On my 02 Suburban they were pretty bad, but that thing was wore out all over. The PO took good care of this 04, but I don’t know that the door seals have ever been paid attention to. -
How long would you run these injectors?
Nice! Just read your thread. That's some dedication to go through and fill the holes like that too. On past trucks, for audio purposes, I've built an MDF spacer ring to isolate the speaker from the door frame, and then mounded dynamat on top of that. For this truck I'm thinking of using... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Good to know. That’s what I’m afraid of, I had a 5” on my LBZ too but I was single then lol. I loved every second of it then. I have a 4” on my 02 but I’ve only driven the damn thing twice before I broke it, again. How are your door seals? I was thinking of replacing mine to see if that helps... -
How long would you run these injectors?
There’s something about the stock downpipe shape/flow that literally makes it scream. On my LBZ with straight pipe and stock down pipe it was like this terrifying scream towards the higher RPM. Aftermarket downpipe and it went away. I don’t recall much difference in the cab either, and it’ll... -
How long would you run these injectors?
I’m not sure if I want to straight pipe this truck or not. I of course love the sound of one, but I’m not sure I will enjoy it 100% of the time any more. I do plan on doing a decent amount of killamat in this truck at some point, but the other aspect is I don’t want to piss of neighbors when I... -
How long would you run these injectors?
Cool, that will save me some money/time for now. I’ve got 3,000+ miles to drive in October so my goal is to get the injectors in before the 2nd, then I can do a nice break in trip. -
How long would you run these injectors?
They’re back to hazing on and off, but more frequently on. I wanted to rob the SAC45s from my 02 but I think I’m just going to order a new set from LDS as soon as tomorrow or Monday. Question - while certainly easier to do it while doing injectors, am I risking anything by leaving the stock... -

Duramax IFS Suspension
Interesting, I definitely have a lot to learn still. I may pickup some books on basic concepts, just for fun. Like I first said, I tend to over analyze haha I used to work right next to Kibbetech, I saw Dunewhore's truck there a bunch of times when it was getting built. Kibbetech "built" my...- fl0w3n
