[QUOTE="Bigdawg90, post: 3969428, member: 49831"] Started on the truck this last Friday. Started getting everything buttoned up last night. Waiting on some small special bolts and grommets that got stripped when I was dissembling. The last shop who did the injector job did a horrible job. Put the Allen head bolts on with an impact wrench. All of my fuel return lines needed to be replaced. Honestly it’s been super easy so far. The head gaskets weren’t blown. Three of my injectors 3,7, and 8 were completely rusted through and two of my injectors cups had failed gaskets so I was getting blow by and coolant in my oil. All in the diesel shop wanted 13-15k to do this job. I’ll be at 6k with all needed parts and tools. Bought some tools for convenience like a topside creeper. That’s with OEM+ parts and some new boost tubes. Installing a lift pump and making sure this doesn’t happen again for a long time. Don’t know why I was ever intimidated by diesels. Slightly different fuel system, but once depressurized it’s just an ICE. Probably won’t be going to the mechanic anymore. Everyone is charging $175-$200 a labor hour. It’s just not worth it.
