    Took truck to frieghtliner dealer for few things. Injector seal was leaking so they replaced seals and now they say injectors are bad. They said "once in a blue moon" it happens and the injectors won't work right when they put back in. Should I be responsible for the bill for new injectors ?

    They offered to cover labor and I pay for the injectors $3200

    Which Freightliner? Freightliner of the northwest up in Washington was inframing this dudes engine that started out as an injector or something.
    Then after reassembly, tip broke off injector and got swallowed by engine.
    That was the story anyway, of course it wasn't their fault.

    It's water over the dam now, but Freightliner is a last or emergency only option. Go to Stewart and Stevenson or W.W.Wiliiams. Both are factory Detroit houses.

    You talking about the injector pass thru seals on side of head?. If so they don’t pull injectors. Just the fuel line and pull the 2 bolts and replace seal and install new fuel lines.
