So here is the story.
I bought an 04 about a year ago. It had low bottom end power but once the turbo spooled it would get some. I figured that had to do with the 35s and 3:73s. So had the truck about 8 months and it would blow white smoke after idling a while. (Injectors) Had them changed. Got it back from the mechanic that put them in and had a fuel knock on #6. Drive down the road shut off #6 knock gone. Was working out of town for a while and the injectors he put in olny had a 90 day warranty. I talked to him and he said to take it to his other buddy that had a tech2 and a genesis. So took it to him.
He run it around for about 2-3 week messing with the diagnosis/computer. Finally decided it was injectors. He said the injectors that his buddy put in were crap. I needed to put in new bosch injectors. So I was like cool go for it what ever.
While doing this he told me that the milage on the computer doesn't match truck. I was like okay but lets deal with the injectors first.
So he wwnt to pull it into his shop and it wouldn't start. He put a new fuel filter on still no start. So he digs into the injectors. pulling out the new/old ones he finds the #6 had stacked copper washers and a bunch of the o rings on the other injectors were not seated.
So he gets all the injectors in and truck won't start. He starts screwing with the ecm and it stop communicating with him. I bought another ECM from ECM performance and he puts it in and goes to calibrate the crank and secruity and it kicks him out and deleteds the ecm. Okay so now download another ecm program for GM and he puts it in the ECM and it takes but no dash lights or gauges or stereo and no start.
After this he says motor has no compression on any cylinders!!!! He says it jumped timing. Or has something to do with the timing gear being loose on the crank and wants to take the whole front of the truck apart to get to the timing cover and crank and stuff.
He has had my truck since April...........
I lossing patience and start to think about telling him to stick it and going to get the truck and take it to the local dealer.
The biggest thing that get to me is I drove the truck to him and it RAN fairly good. Now it seems to have catastrafic failures every time I turn around. This injector job is gettin up ther aroound 8K Dollars..
Any suggestion?
I was looking at a duramax block at anouther shop and for that thing to jump timing it would have to be major screwed.
Sorry bout the spelling. LOL
Thanks
