My 2014 Chevy Silverado had 58K miles on it when I had the same issue. They replaced 2 injectors the first time and a week later another one went bad. They eventually replaced all of the injectors and luckily I purchased an extended warranty from USAA when I purchased the truck new in 2014. So far the extended warranty has paid out over $2600 total for the repairs and rental car. I had a rental for 2 weeks the second time because they didn't have any injectors in stock??????

 

The truck is running great now but I am afraid this problem will show up again down the road. I will probably trade the truck on a new Dodge RAM later this year. My wife's 2013 Hyundai Sonata with over 60K miles has direct injection and has never had an issue with fuel injectors.

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles.    READY !    SET  !!    RANT !!!!!!!   I do not understand why repair shops think they can charge you for no results. Doctors are the exact sam

The reason why it’s not covered under power train is because they KNOW sits a problem and will go broke fixing their issue. So we get to be the test and tune guys.

But Gm says they don’t have injector issues...... blame it on the gas you use. Lol

$2,600 to have your fuel injectors replaced? 

 

The labor is about ...... 30 minutes total? 

 

Parts: $35 total for all 8 injectors, with free shipping.

  If there is carbon deposits on your pistons that is smashing the spark plugs, I would either use SeaFoam to steam clean the pistons, or stick something in the spark plug hole to scrape the piston clean, or get a comparable plug that has slightly shorter thread depth. After that, get yourself a catch-can to prevent this from happening again. I just replaced a newer Chevy truck motor, and I was amazed how much oil was in the intake plenum and intake ports in the head. That all turns into carbon the the pistons and head.

They are soaking/ cleaning carbon off (no charge to me because I have authorized anything to be done!!) say that the 2 injectors was bad ( I wander if someone just messed up a gasket or seal and just say bad injector idk)


What does this catch can do? Or do you have a link that is informative? On my phone app is kinda hard to sift thru stuff

  Hi, 

 

      Well - basically a catch can reduces the amount of oil that enters your cylinders. An OEM engine sucks the oil fumes from the crank case into the intake (usually via the PCV valve), and burns those fumes in the combustion process. The oil fumes stick to everything, and forms carbon deposits on the piston and head. That carbon can cause pinging (detonation), spark plug damage, piston slap,  and so on. 

 

      The catch can is a "filter" to remove the oil from the crank case vent fumes, before those fumes enter the intake plenum. 

 

      The catch can needs to be emptied every so often, which is easy to do. 

 

      Here are some pics and a link:

    4.6 hours? WOW! I have never seen any injectors that were not easily accessible. Learn something every day. Any chance you could upload some pics or repair instructions? 

 

    As for the more expensive injectors, I would not go that route - but that's just me. I have had good luck with the cheap injectors on many rigs.

It sounds like you're talking about replacing injectors on a typical port injected engine.  This engine is direct injected.  Much different deal.

These injectors sit under the intake

    The new design doesn't look difficult to work on, but it would be a little more time consuming to repair. Pulling those injectors looks like it would be about the same as replacing the knock sensors on a 5.3L (generation 3).

 

    Looks like some of the direct injection engines have specially designed pistons as well. 

 

    From what i'm seeing, some vehicles have both direct and port injectors on the same cylinders. 

 

    I look forward to working on one, it would be an interesting engine to take apart.

 

 

    Check out the pics:

That was the total price for 2 visits to the dealership and 2 rental cars. The first visit was 2 injectors and the second was 6. I have to wait 2 weeks to get the parts for the second visit. I agree, it shouldn't cost that much but those are dealership prices. I am just glad I didn't have to pay out of pocket for it.

Do you know if your engine has direct injection or port injection? If its direct injection, then the install time would be a bit longer, but still - the bill is extremely high. Your right, the dealership charges a lot. I'm glad to hear that you didn't have to pay for it.

$1,800 is the going price by the time you get 8 injectors, all the extra seals and gaskets required and the labor to really it all apart.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
