Injectors and cups.........again. I will not do this repair at my shop any longer because of the repeat failure rate. Until they actually make the correct improvements for this problem, instead of putting "band aids" on it, I will not do the repair.

putting the second o ring will keep the fuel from getting aerrated a bit ive had a few truck come in that were having regen issues three four months with new injectors and when i hooked up ptt all i saw was that the fuel psi was messing up in the truck and it couldn't do a proper regen after trying a whole bunch of things i got it down to it had to come from injectors when i changed all the orings everything went back to normal and no more issues. so ever since then i don't even take the chance anymore just add the extra o ring anyway. so far return is very little from about 20 i have done only seen 1 back and even that one, i think one of my guys ####ed up and didn't tight the injector properly when i pulled it out it was loose so i replace one injector and the cup and no more issues, but with this time will tell. i just hate doing the job because i feel like im screwing the customer over even if it lasts 18 months it's just enough to be out of warranty it's still not fair to them to fork over another 3 or 4k just cuz parts are ####. that being said i doubt they would get any better results anywhere else, to me it just doesn't feel right.

I would say it's cups nothing else that can drop fuel psi that quick idealy with everything working propely you can have truck sitting for 2 or 3 days and it will start no problem

So a permenant fix for everyone......i have copper washers...we replaced cups with graphite paste lasted two trips...put copper washer forever fix on injector cups...problem is the piston/fuel explosion is so hot the graphite and everything just burns thru all of it.....only those copper washers will get rid of problem forever
