Nordie's Injector Deal

« **Reply #50 on:** January 20, 2010, 05:46:04 PM »

But at the dealer you wouldnt pay the injecter bill because it didnt fix the problem and thy probibly would have found the crank issue and thats all you are to pay for due to the fact thats what you brought it in for any other leaks or anything thay are responsible for just my 02

If you had gone to the dealer (or anywhere else) and they did the injectors, it would not have solved the problem, and it probably wouldn't be leaking oil. But why would you have paid for a repair that didn't fix the problem? I am betting that with a little bitching GM would have helped out with a rental too.
Or you could have gone to some diesel specialist that might have either done the same thing, or fixed it right the first time. Either way you wouldn't be out money, time, sweat, tears, beer, etc. and still not have it right. I think there is a lesson there somewhere.

He still would be out the beers i think just not the time and as much money the sweat and tears like he lost a child

ok here's my lesson! instead of using the fuckhead dealer i should have taken it to the diesel shop! then i would have only been out 400 bucks instead i listened to the dealer and i am out 3 grand it will be fixed saturday come hell of high water unless i need to order a part!

sorta funny never had a problem except with my billet antenna i had to take that thing off

« **Reply #57 on:** January 20, 2010, 11:31:18 PM »

That is funny!

But honestly Lil Bro, once that thing is fixed TRADE IT IN ON A FERD or a DODGE or even a Nip Diesel!!!!!!

I know you love diesels now, and obviously, that Duramax isn't all it's cracked up to be if the freaking dealer can't figure it out.

Is it me, or did anyone else notice all this happened right after Nordie put the new wheels and tires on?

I'm just sayin'............

haha happened about a week after the new bling! anyway this is what has gone down the past couple of days...thursday i went down, and pre ordered my return lines new lines! more seals, and the bolts for the return lines im no effing around this time! so today i started on the truck around 9am, and got down to the valve covers....then i had to run a couple of errands....i ran out of chewing tobaccy for one, and needed to put a check in the bank, and tried to track down a inch pount torque wrench, but no such luck....i got a 50 dollar gift card for sears might go get a craftsman one tomorrow, but anyway after running the errands i suddenly realized i wasnt feeling so well, and went and laid in bed for a couple of hours...just not feeling well today, but i managed to get off of my ass, and get back after it....i got the one side torn down, and started putting it back together....the valve covers are 2 piece....so tomorrows plan is to put everything back on that side of the motor except the upper valve cover, and then tear down the other side, and put everything back together except the upper valve cover, and with some help i am going to check for leaks while the motor is revved up this is my new game plan...if i could find the proper tool there is a way to check for leaks with a vacuum dealio, but i dont have that feature! but i think this is going to be my best bet....what do you guys think...besides take it to the shop

« **Reply #59 on:** January 23, 2010, 05:42:48 PM »

Dude you know everyone is gonna tell ya to take it to the shop, besides you arent supposed to be hungover when you are planning on working on your shit

OR is it that time of month

« **Reply #60 on:** January 23, 2010, 05:51:06 PM »

nope i was asleep by 7:30 last night....b-rad wanted to go out last night, but i told him no cause i had to get my truck done

« **Reply #61 on:** January 23, 2010, 07:13:25 PM »

If it turns out to be the return lines, you KNOW Skip and I are gonna laugh hysterically, right?

« **Reply #62 on:** January 23, 2010, 07:19:05 PM »

i figured something out today while i was redoing the one side....3rd time is a charm right? honestly i think you guys are missing exactly what i am trying to explain....the return lines are a sloid piece of tubing that directly bolt onto the injectors under the valve covers....if it is still leaking i found a test procedure through all data just dont know how to get the proper ones

« **Reply #63 on:** January 23, 2010, 07:32:18 PM »

Have you considered taking it to a diesel specialist?

« **Reply #64 on:** January 23, 2010, 07:33:28 PM »

3rd time is a charm if no go this time....truck goes to the shop, but im confident

Me too!

But this Duramax sounds like something noone should be DIY'ing to me after all this!

Not to say Nordie wasn't screwed by the initial diag at the dealer, mind you!
