Hard start issues....again.

I've had 5 sets and 2 singles in less than 400k, last time I had them run a dye test before and after and they found bad install. I've had the head checked and it was fine, it seems it's crappy reman parts and crappy install. The only fix I know of is dump it.

 

The fuel savings claims are from the truck sitting in the yard. lol

 

Who is doing the install?

 

Did you replace them in same shop every time? Any warranty left on job? Should have at least one year or certain miles.
On my last truck i replaced cups only twice and injectors twice in 1,830,000 miles . I remember i did injectors @ Volvo in Terre Haute, Indiana and Expresway volvo in Ayr, Ontario, they lasted 400-500k. This truck I have 150k on reman motor came with injectors instaled , so far no problems with injectors.

 

Sucks!! I know how that feels..

Dump it ASAP.
Cancelling that new truck you ordered was a bad choice...see

Keeping a maintenance problem truck(high miles+emissions) is a sure way to go bankrupt.
Way past time for a new unit.

Which dealer has been doing these injector and cup replacements? Rockester on all 8?


BTW ... Almost 500k on 2016 truck only had one leaky cup that didn't cause big issues but got it fixed under warranty at 400k.
New 860 TC-XE13 truck arrives in next few weeks, I've learned too many times trying to play the high miles game and cheating the odds.

Just think, with your miles... if you had a Cummins you would be doing an worn out in frame instead.... Big $$$$$

See why fleets don't keep past 500k usually? Maintenance costs more than owning a new one.
