  • When removing a injector what are the steps with oil and fuel? Drain the heads and fuel rail before removing the injectors? What about before reinstalling injectors? Thanks.

  • @crunksnizait When you reinstall the injectors the fuel and oil will come back into the heads during cranking. It takes a bit of cranking and there is usually a bunch of smoke from the tailpipe as the oil and fuel that got into the pistons is burnt off. AND it will take about 5 miles before all the air is worked out of the fuel and oil systems and the truck will run smooth.

  • @powerstrokehelp alright ill try that

  • @floppycock9 I'd change the oil and see how it affects the blow by.

  • @powerstrokehelp no its been about 3000 miles since i changed it, and it is pretty abused from towing/hauling big hydralic cylinders and what not so do you think its fine its got 90,000 miles on it

  • @floppycock9 Have you changed the oil recently. Regen will contaminate the oil with fuel especially if you are towing heavy.

  • @powerstrokehelp no its not consuming oil but the smoke out of the oil fill hole shoots up like half a foot and smells like unburnt diesel

  • @klosnoski It is a poor parking brake system. You just have to replace the pads and hardware. If you go down the road with the brake on it's game over. Everything will have to be replaced.

  • @floppycock9 All diesels have a little. Is it consuming oil?

  • @stie09 You need a new Low pressure oil pump. Buy the melling part number it comes with a new housing.
