2017 Silverado - Fuel Injector Replacement Help

Looking for help/instructions on replacing fuel injector/s for a 2017 5.3L Silverado. Truck has 80K miles on it and a #5  misfire. Dealer ran a diagnostics and said the injector needs to be replaced.

 

I found a couple pictures on the forum of the fuel injectors but very little information on steps to replace them. The only videos I could find online were for older models with a different injector diagram. Talking to the dealer they quoted me $770 to replace a single injector, gaskets and piping associated with the job. 4 hours or labor and $240 in parts. 

 

Are there any good instructions or videos out there on replacing fuel injectors on a 2017 Silverado?

I've never done a job like this but consider myself mechanically include, is this an easy enough job or should I leave this to the dealer to do?

I know they say if your replacing a single injector you might as well replace all 4 on one bank but is that really necessary, $110 a piece and if the other 3 are fine why replace them?

 

The dealer said the piping and gaskets must be replaced even for a single injector replacement job. Is this all necessary? I've never had another vehicle with injector problems so this will be a first. 

Parts quoted-

12687650           (1) injector

12626354           (8) gaskets

12677002           (1)  pipe

12677004           (1) pipe

 

Any help, links to instruction/diagrams or videos would be awesome! I enjoy working on these projects rather than paying someone else to do the work since you learn something every time. I also want it done right.

 

Thanks all in advance!

If you pull one bank of injectors and replace one, the other 3 need the lower seals replaced. Requires special tools to install and size the new seals.

I'm looking online now at parts, I just found all the parts I listed above to half the price the dealer quoted me.

 

Would the replacements for the lower seals be included in the "seal kit" part # 12672366 ?

 

Are the special tools something only the dealer would have? 

 

Why replace (8) intake manifold gaskets as the dealer has parts on the quote?  12626354           (8) gaskets 

 

It seems to me someone out there would have put together some step by step or video of replacing these since I've read several forums with guys having bad injectors on these new trucks.

I can't seem to locate the injector r&r in my alldata mobile app. I'll check on the pc once I'm home.

Man, on a 2017 you need new injector already?

You should contact GM and complain.

 

My 2011 BMW x5 needs #6. Dealer quoted $1400.

Getting it done elsewhere for $700. Hope its not that expensive for you.

I've received two different quotes now from dealers for $770 to replace a single injector. Even though only the #5 injector is misfiring and bad they are recommending replacing all 4 on the side. To replace 4 it would be around $1200

 

I can buy all the new parts for around $150.  I was hoping to attempt the work myself and figured even if it took me a day to do the work at least I learned something and can do it again next time. Reading more and more forums it sounds like this can be a common problem and I don't plan on paying $770 each time I need an injector replaced.

I'm not finding any info on injector/ orings when i search through alldata on the pc. I spoke with a rep last week and he said they have the ability to add info. I'll see if they can add that r&r along with the emissions.

If you look up super charger instruction manuals, they give you step by step instructions with color photos for removing the intake.

That would be great, I appreciate your help!
Finally got word back from all data. I'll post what I have found in a few

I ran into the issue of not knowing and took mine to the stealership and paid $1000 for one injector and a ignition coil.  Never again.  I had searched for days to figure out the issue and finally came upon this video where he did this on a suburban or a tahoe but it is the same process for a silverado.  Looks time consuming but the parts are less expensive.  Roughly under $400 if you do all the parts.

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.
