Weather is the pits this year. I did go to Laredo, they replaced one bad injector, but now its smoking again so I am back where I started. It was still smoking when i picked it up but they said that was probably unburned fuel in the exhaust system. Well 700 miles later its still unburned. I am now in Patzcuarro, traveling north with a caravan, so I have support. I am trying to get it to the place in California that did them last year. They will warranty at least the injectors which are $3K of the cost. I am selling the truck when i get home and going gas. I only need a 3/4 ton SRW, not a 1 ton diesel. I psend so much tiem down here, having a diesel engine no one can work on with any assurance of competence is not a good idea. You can even take a gasser to a dealer. With an extar $12k fro diesel and the high cost of maintaining them, diesel $1 a gallon more, gas is looking better all the time. At least traveling with a caravan there are people on it towing trailers, so if something happens I can get mine towed into an RV park. Oil looks good, don't seem to be losing coolant, mileage good, no overheating, but still blowing white smoke. I have tried hotshots injector cleaner. No change but maybe it will stop it from gettign any worse. Maybe one or 2 others are leakingn a bit.
