Makes sense RD.

I'm in contact with a diesel specialty shop here in town that says they have the Piezo testing equipment. Contacted dealer today and they say $436 to remove the injectors for me and I pick them up and run them to the shop.

However, the tech that is assigned to the vehicle is off today so the soonest it could be done is tomorrow, when I'm on shift (24 hour shifts, can't do anything on shift days). Tech says in the notes it should be reassembled and ready by midweek, so I've decided to have them reassemble the rig, fire it up, and see what fault codes crop up when she's running again.

Once it is out of the shop, I may just run it over and pull the injectors at the diesel shop myself/with them. Only need the one custom tool, the flexy injector removal wrench, and they may have it. Hopes are for 6 good injectors, and really hoping we don't have to re-rack the whole motor.

Did contact our regional Cummins/Detroit shop about piezo injectors. He stated that they stopped bench testing them altogether, don't rebuild, or mess with them at all. If the new OTR diesel motors have an injector-related code, they just replace the injector at $500 a pop.

C'est la vie.
