Yes exactly. Idle with the new injectors is a little rougher, but I wasn't as lucky as jonny d, I only had about 110,000 on my original factory injectors.

Thanks for that explanation TC, didn't realize that.

Thought I'd give an update on a few things. 1) How it's running with the new injectors and 2) A warning on something I found, and 3) For those changing injectors (and setting lash) for the first time, a couple thoughts. 1) I have run about 1.5 tanks of fuel with the new injectors. To recap - I...

Gotcha TC - thanks for the graphics. I did check that bushing and it fits tight and smooth (oddly enough #3 intake rocker/bushing felt like it has a bit of a bur, couldn't feel it with my fingers and it was tight - but not smooth). In any case I buttoned up the truck, drove a couple miles...

TC, I did disassemble and clean that rocker twice, all the passages are clear as far as I can tell. And like I said, the rocker shaft, and the pushrod are getting plenty of oil up through the rocker and out, so it's acting as if only the passage to the bridge end of the rocker is blocked - but...

Another first timer question. Injectors are in - running smoothly. Went back and did valve lash - went OK - need to recheck after some idle time. But - decided to run the engine with the valve cover off and I noticed #1 and #3 intake rocker did not seem to be oiling the valve bridge like all...

Thanks TC and Ozy. Factory red would have been great - I might just go for the clear though, harder to see the screw ups. Four down two to go...only the fun ones left.

Well I am in the middle of the injector replacement. So far so good. Was wondering if anyone knew what, I assume, is the spray on corrosion protectant covering all of the external fuel system parts and intake plate? As soon as I hit the joints with carb cleaner this stuff bubbled up and...

Well my 007's are on their way back to Injectors Dir. And thanks to all of you stressing filtering I installed my Glacier Diesel 2-micron kit this weekend and fired it up with the old injectors. Now a question for Cerb and Martin. How well will the BBI stage .5's run with no tuning? i.e. just...

CCiatteo - That is some great phone work! Thanks for getting facts into and out of Bosch and Injectors Direct - and kudos to both companies for using responsive human beings - rare! And continuing thanks to Martin for his information. Now I have to decide what to do...

"To the codes you found.... I am not aware of the numbers on the hold down. The F-2829 is the shortened Bosch part number of the injector body, which is F00RJ02829 in full length." That two line number (0445...) above the made in Brazil didn't mean anything to you either? Thanks for the...

Here are the pictures. On the solenoid only the 007 number is consistent across all 6 injectors, so I have included pics of all 6. The 007 number was actually covered over by black marker - I had to wipe that off to expose. On the bodies there are four numbers/codes. Three are consistent...

Yes - will do that tomorrow eve when I return.

Cerb, Martin - decided I needed to keep to a lower budget so I went with new Bosch stock from Injectors Direct. The part number was not 238 but rather 007. Injectors Direct says that is a correct number for new Bosch. You all run across this number previously?

Thanks for the chart Martin
