Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Swapping sticks

[darkhorse]

I'm getting ready for my second injector swap. Has any one tried to change injectors without removing the intake horn?

Yup, no luck... :{

I just heard from Bob Wagner on NWB that it can be done if you grind on your 19 mm wrench so it will fit. I've got a home made stubby I'm willing to grind on. My new custom Mach 3. 8's just arrived from Don. I'm not sure when I'll be able to do the swap but I'll post back about how it went.

I didn't fully remove my air intake horn, just removed the bolts and pushed it enough out of the way. Removing 5 bolts has got to be a lot quicker than custom grinding a wrench.

I've got to swap injectors in a week or so, I'll give that a look...



I like making "special tools"... :-laf

Oh come on! its only four little bolts and a hose clamp

That's my thought too. It doesn't take long to take off. But, be ready for the stock paper gaskets to tear. That'll give you a chance to upgrade to the newer Cummins intake horn gaskets (metal) though.

I didn't remove it or the lifting bracket. I did skinny up a 19mm tubing wrench.

Sure, I know it's not hard to remove the air horn & heater grids, but I had a little gasket trouble last year when I put the 1. 5's in. Since I have a good seal on the intake now, I'm hoping I can keep it intact & work around the heater grid.

Maybe with *your* grinder
