Good Cummins mechanic in So Cal?
Son in law has a 2014 CTD 3500 DRW with injector problems. 117,000 miles on the clock. The truck was bought used about a year ago. Dealer wants $4400 to put new injectors in. Not under warra...

If injectors are suspected then I would first try ultrasonic cleaning before replacing them. Hard to believe injectors could be worn out to the point of requiring replacement at 117k miles.
Regarding di-electric grease, it's possible for sensors to produce an out-of-range reading due to a poor electrical connection vs a truly faulty sensor. It costs nothing to pull the connector on the fuel pressure sensor, clean the connector and add a dab of di-electric grease. Start with the basics before throwing parts at it...
I would run away from that dealer as fast as possible....sounds like you goit a good recommendation for a shop.
