    What R the signs of a bad injector(s)?

    Oo. Oo. I think I may just put in new injectors if this flush doesn't help with the hesitation and sluggish power. Any after market injectors that would be a good replacement for the factory ones?

    I have read alot of post about getting new injectors and injectors going bad. But how can you really tell if an injector is bad? What is a sure sign? And how can you clean them?

I noticed on the rail side of the engine I have a leak very small but none the less a leak. It appears to be from the rail. I'm gonna clean it off...

    I need serious help diagnosing a problem with my 03 2500.

    I talked to the dealer and they suggested getting a valve adjustment because they said that may be the cause of the trouble. They also said that they tested the FCA when the new lift pump was put in and it was fine. Then they suggested a complete transmission flush. They said that they only did a pan...

    I need serious help diagnosing a problem with my 03 2500.

    I will talk to the dealer about the injector pump. Is it possible that it could be a bad injector or an air intake problem or even a transmission problem like a sticky valve or bad sensor? How do you test an injector pump?
