After seeing a botched job on the same engine with somebody else 3 years ago (they ended up having to have it towed out of mexico), I decided to make the 1.5 day drive to Laredo leaving my trailer in Guadalajara. Its is an injector. This is the 3rd swap in 113K. one under warrenty at 60K, the second after 40 K and now a bad injector after 13K. At 11 hours labor to get at them and put it back together, its expensive. The shop in LA who did them last year is going to try to get Bosch to cover at least part of the expense this time as it was obviously a flawed injector to begin with. I had had a FASS lift pump installed last time to improve fuel filtration as well. They said with that they have never had one come back with less than 150K on them. They are shocked this one only lasted 13K.
I am considering changing thsi truck for a dodge as anyone can work on a cummins engine or I may go with gas. I tow a 5600 lb dry trailer. I reaaly do not need a 1 ton dually, I can manage with a 3/4 ton SRW and tolls would eb a lot cheaper.
