    yea i had remans installed thats what started the problem went though 4 sets last year just had the motor overhauled maybe 60,000 miles ago had new injectors put in at that time so i have great luck with injectors antrim said he had a motor down there that runs good and he would sell me the injectors out of it i just might go that route

    I'm sure Cat injectors don't run with oil, as far as I know only Cummins N14, (444 and 365) mechanical injected do, I'm not familiar with Signature or ISX, but those are the only hydraulic injectors I now.

    was told this buy a guy that should know what he is talking about said oil comes in the hole on top of the injector plunger and out the hole on the side of the plunger down on the bottom near the spring just i added this stuff to the oil and problem that ive been dealing with for like 5 sets of injectors went away nothing else was changed
