I'm replacing all 8 of my intectors on my 6.2l. Can't seem to get the fuel rails and injectors out. I really don't want to buy that expensive puller if I'm probably going to use it once. Has anyone done this without it?

Not sure what expensive puller you are talking about. The only special tool you need is fuel line disconnect tool and you can get a whole set for like $10.

The repair instructions call for it. Part number EN-49248. It actually calls for two sets of them. There are aftemarket types from OTC but that one is $150. I can tell you I have all 8 bolts out and those injectors are in there pretty good. I don't want to damage anything.

I miss read I thought you where talking about small tool to remove lines. The rail I just us a small crowbar. I did it the same as this guy on multiple vehicles. Just go to the 8 min mark.

I got them off with multiple pry bars. It was a pain. They were in there pretty good. Would have been way easier with the tool. I was worried I was going to bend a rail. I'm glad I replaced all eight. 

All is good now.

i have done this repair multiple of times, what i do is use lady heel/foot bars and use two of them one on each end of the fuel rail and slowly pry back and use the head as leverage. make sure you replace all the seals. this is a must. on the injectors. both high pressure fuel lines under the intake(one time use per gm due to the high pressure they must maintain ) there is a special tool to remove the metal retaining clip to remove the injectors from the rail. it looks like a pair of pliers that fit into the clip and as you squeeze them close they open on the end and push the clip open. you can manage with some beefy needle nose and a flat blade screw driver. the seals call for a installer and sizer. the installer is a lil tapper cone that goes on the end of the injectors and the seal slides up it slowly making it larger to fit on the injector then the sizer is used to make sure the seal is sized down around the injector

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
