Well just got out of the shop again, this time 6 injectors and sleeves. Had a vibration that was consistent with what a drive-line problem would indicate but discovered the culprit was injectors. So just posting that if you have a vibration or shuddering as they like to call it, there is a bulletin out for updated injectors on these D-13's. Wish they'd just make the #### things right in the first place. 2012 VNL 780 D-13.

Never would have thought that,but as expensive and high pressure as they are guess they could do strange things.

Since June 2007 (D13/2008
I have 1,330,000 miles, I had 4 times problems with injectors and cups, twice did cups only and twice the injectors; my last set ,steel cups and conical injectors lasted since 2011 approx 500,000 miles, (team truck). I don't know what's the cause , bad design , this insane ultra high injection pressure or the poor lubrication qualities of ULSD diesel; many drivers have problems with injectors even on older motors and are adding two strokes motor oil in diesel.
I start adding this product, is not expensive, about 8$ here in Ontario at Wholesale Club, and treats 3000L, approx. 800gal , I hope is going to work;Last edited: Aug 16, 2014
