    Alternative vehicles to own other than a Silverado

    I like driving my truck for a few reasons, first I want to be able to haul large items around. Surely no one else is going to drive my new refrigerator home FOR me, I can handle that myself thanks. Also I live in Florida (highest vehicle insurance rates for a reason) and I don't want to end up...

    Alternative vehicles to own other than a Silverado

    I've always loved the Chevy S-10 extended cab. I owned one for about 5 years before my Silverado.

    Alternative vehicles to own other than a Silverado

    What would it be like to drive down the road in something other than your Duramax? Sitting low to the ground feeling like your buns are dragging across the asphalt, lacking power when you need it or thinking of the spark plugs that are firing off under your hood... these thoughts may have...

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    Perfect gadget for when your Silverado breaks down. Fortunately I have a Home Depot and Advance Auto right down the road. That's not me.

    I wish I could send a picture of the actual event. You're not far off, just modernize the image.

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    So major breakthrough this morning... but first I adjusted my valve lash which I quite enjoyed. I wasn't going to remove my driver side valve cover for nothing. I'm looking forward to hearing how quiet she runs after that. I was worried about having to remove my lower valve cover which I know...

    Brilliant. I would ask if I could buy it from you but it would be faster if I made my own. I just need to get a hold of a bad injector.

    Oh man you are all over the web with injector info! :thumb: I will totally take a whack at the solenoid before going for the whole injector replacement.

    Any comments on Diesel Care and Performance out of Memphis? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-LB7-Duramax-Fuel-Injector-Solenoid-2001-2004/261723862730?hash=item3ceff536ca:g:kIwAAOSw5xFax8U1

    I will heed the warnings of Pensacola FI. Thank you. 2004LB7 I found your post in a thread about replacing an injector solenoid without removing the injector. You said... "I have done this to two injectors so far. I had to make a special socket from a metal tube to fit the solenoid. I didn't...

    I've read a thread about swapping the solenoid and one person suggested not to do so because the solenoids are specific to the injector. Have you swapped a solenoid?

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    That's measured right at the injector studs. My biggest hurdle will be removing the allen bolts without stripping them. I bought a reman injector from Pensacola Fuel Injection so it should be here mid week.

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    So I found my mistake, I was using a setting too high on my multimeter. I switched to the most sensitive setting (200) and retested and my number 1 injector is reading 50 ohms while all the others are reading .5 ohms. So it seems as though that's my problem.

    Oh I got it. Yes I'll do that. I just wish there was a way to bench test this damn FICM. I will update...

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    When you mentioned testing at the FICM, how would you do that? Should I read voltage at the harness going to the injectors for 12v with key on?

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    Injectors 1 and 7 are on the passenger side and 4 and 6 are on the driver side so in order to check group A one must remove both valve covers!

    LB7: #1 injector shorted

    I'm going to hook it all back up tomorrow and check these things. BTW I had a total of 6 stripped allen bolts on my upper valve covers, what a pain in the ass! I had to buy a welder to get them off!!! There ain't exactly a whole lot of square footage in that engine bay for a welder. I got them...
