how do u no wen ur injectors are broken
kxdirtrider85 2 years ago
Sometimes, it's hit and miss, especially if the crack or leak is really small. But on diesels, especially, if your truck is either starting up like mine in the video and blowing blueish smoke, running like a gas vehicle with a spark plug miss, or worst of all, your engine oil levels are going up due to large amounts of diesel fuel washing down the cylinder walls and into your engine, those are all indicators that you may have a bad injector (s).

could be you need to replace your fuel filter to

I replace mine every 10K. The filter that was on the truck in the video only had a little over 1000 miles on it.

At that point, I had tried fuel additives and it didn't help. The tips of my injectors had actually cracked. Replacement was the only option.
