Mechanical Assistance, please...2005 Injector, Las Vegas Area

[SOLER]

Some of you may have seen my 911 post last week. My truck won't start by itself, I have to use starting fluid. I live in NM, but am in Las Vegas temporarily for military trng. Nellis AFB had an auto skills center, but it's closed. I need to change an injector (hopefully just one) and am looking for a driveway or garage to use next Saturday morning. I really need to get the truck fixed before I pull my fifth wheel back to eastern NM in a couple of weeks. In a perfect world I'm hoping to find a gracious soul who will help me out, but that also has exp. changing these, and perhaps has the miller tools to pull the injector tube and the injector.



I think I can do it myself, but I'm in the RV Park on Base, and they frown on car maintenance in the park.



Perhaps a case of an adult beverage might persuade some. And I promise not to drink any of it



Thanks.

TDR writer and member Joe Donnelly formerly lived in LV or the immediate area. Joe knows people there that might be able to help you.

I don't know how frequently he browses the forums. If you don't receive offers this evening pm Joe and ask him if he can recommend someone.

The good news---- no special tools needed to pull the injectors or the tubes. A small pinch bar under the injector hold down will pop it out with very little effort. A pocket screw driver will remove the tubes faster and easier than the miller tool. The important part is to get the torque specs and the tools to apply them properly
