Hey guys, I'm trying to help out a family friend with a stock lb7.
He was getting dicked around by the dealerhsip pretty bad before he got a hold of me, his truck was running fine but making oil like crazy. It had 185k on the clock. I came over and logged his balance rates and to my suprise they really weren't bad at all. the worst was like 3.8x on cylinder 5 and the rest were 0-1.xx and one 2.xx.
I felt pretty confident with the miles on the truck and the fuel in the oil to tell him he needed new injectors. The dealership already had him install a new Cp3 and some other crap that he didn't need.
Anyway long story short he calls me up last night and tells me he did the injector swap and now it's not making oil anymore but it's running like crap and smoking white at idle, but smooths out at cruising speeds. I'm going over this afternoon to run the scan tool and see what I can come up with.
Since I have an LLY and don't need to deal with this stupid injector crap :hifinger: I figured i would get your guys take on what he did/has wrong. He says he bought the injectors new and not used. Though they're probably remans... He's also has done this install before (the first thing the dealship told him to do was take out the sticks and clean them!
) and not had this issue so I assume he probably did the install right.
Thanks
