Currently replacing injectors on my LB7 after balance rates and return rates proved my 28k mile old 30% over I.I. injectors were failing. :spit:

Was very surprised on how clean the top of the heads was, I never had any fuel in the oil whatsoever, believe me, with these injectors, I checked damn near weekly :thumb:

In October of 2009, this engine was fully rebuilt with new stock parts, and Mobil Delvac and a change or two of Petro Canada was used. Oil changes were every 3k and since I have owned it, every 2000-2500 miles.

I have had the oil tested at work (Cat) since I bought the truck, mainly for fuel in oil issues and only done 2 tests so far, and fuel levels were below normal. New injectors should be here end of week, and just might have it running this weekend, but, after all it is alrteady 100*+ here, so maybe not :rofl:

Not saying anything yet, but it will have a LS2, LS3, or LQ4 in it :thumb:



Even if I get 60k miles on this set of injectors, that way I drive that is 6+ years. :baby:

You'll be lucky to get 60,000 I only got 35,000 our trucks at work are similar we have an 01 dually that is ready for its 4th set.

Are they ever gonna run out of cores because thousands of sets are replaced in a given year.

All GM's profit is probably from LB7 injector sales.

I understand all vehicles have issues but having an inherent flaw that cant be fixed is a Pita to do and costs thousands of dollars is unacceptable :mad:

That's why I'm going LLY. New Bosch injectors 40k ago and #6 is already 6.x balance rate.
