| 2003 LB7 Injectors | Login/Join |
| DRR S/Pro |
Getting ready to install my third set of injectors. Just about 190K for miles. Has anyone stepped outside the Bosch box for something different? I don't think I want to up the HP as it has plenty just because of the current mileage. Yes I am doing it myself this time. New lines, cups, o rings etc. I did install the Hastings full size water fuel separator at the rear tank so everything gets filter'd further before it hits the main tank. I did run the GM cleaner through and even filled the filter 100% and fired it, let it set and then drove the heck out of it. Don't really think it did anything. I do use Stanadyne cleaner also. Just looking for some information. California Screaming! Raceless in California! | ||

I have a 2004 Duramax, 90,000 on and never replaced injectors. I have always run Justice Brothers Diesel Fuel conditioner. Have 2 friends who are Justice Brothers Distributors who have more miles than me with same vehicle and never replaced injectors. Are we lucky? I don't know, but 3 2004 trucks and no issues, I'll keep using it! | |||

I just had them put in my 2001 and 2002 in the last three weeks. Neal Church (NFC on DRR) did it for me. He used a set from Pensacola Fuel Injection. Ill check the part numbers later. He said that he has used them on several and hasn't had any complaints. FYI - if anyone around NC or VA needs them replaced, his price is hard to beat! Mikey | |||

I thought I was lucky too. Within a few weeks both my 2001 and 2002 started showing signs. With the 2002 I started smelling fuel when I would get out of the truck. Within a few days the pan had filled up with diesel. The 2001 started to smoke at an idle right around that same time. It would have probably been fine for a while, but after struggling to find a trailer to get the 2002 to the shop I decided Id just leave both of them with him and be done with the headache. FYI, the 2002 never smoked - it just filled the pan up. The 2001 never filled the pan up, it just smoked! Funny how they both had different symptoms. Edit to add - 2001 has 145k miles. 2002 has 115k miles.This message has been edited. Last edited by: head gamez, Mikey | |||

My 2001 smoked at idle. I felt bad for the people behind me at a stop light when I took off lol. Never saw any significant amounts diesel in the oil | |||

Look into Lincoln Diesel. Get bosch with sac tips, they are redesigned and suppose to be a lot better. | |||

My 2003 is on its 3rd set of injectors at 87,000 miles. My fault not driving it enough based on what the Duramax Guru Tony Rizzy told me. His crew replaced my 6 port injectors with 7 port injectors last year and my truck thinks it is a beast now. Not sure of the manufacturer make but they are bad to the bone with the additional 15% fuel each pulse. I will make it a point to drive my truck at least 1 time a week to avoid the failed injector issues again. | |||

I drive the doo doo out of mine. If it’s not towing it’s on a road trip. Back and forth to work 43 miles round since 03 and retired year before last July. My partner in racing (Darren) has the same truck with 60 K on it. Just replaced his first set. So is it just time or just bad design? I’ve read all the cleaner filter and use only GM filters..better lift pumps etc etc.. Its a bad design in my opinion however, I really like the truck! It’s bad Azz. No oil leaks, no oil usage, no trans leaks...and it’s very comfortable. California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

I had a early 2004 LB7 that had over 300K, never had injector issues. My dad's 2003 same thing. | |||

We both always added a qt of ATF to a full tank of fuel every oil change. | |||

I've heard of that. I have ran non syn 2 stroke oil and yes it did quiet it down and it did run maybe a little better. Ca diesel just sucks. Or should i say; low sulpher? I know there are a shyt load of snake oils out there but no good data. California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

Everyone I know with a Durmax either has had to put injectors in or is fixin' to have to put a set in. Makes me want to run right out to buy one. Our shop truck at work, going on it's second set at 140,000. Boss paid the dealer to put them in, $7900 and change. We don't have time to mess with it at work so someone else gets to do it. Our next truck will be a gas burner for sure, and probably a Ford-based on the "luck" (and expense) we've had out of this Chevy. Friend of ours has an airboat powered by an LLY which is neat, and is a great application for a diesel (full load, full speed continually)-and he's on his 3rd set of injectors in 3 years. | |||

So where is everyone getting their injectors from? Im about to put a set in my 03 LB7 in the next 2 weeks. Been looking everywhere for the best deal. I cant fathom spending 3k on them though if they are just gonna go bad. BTW I can and have replaced them myself. So labor is free. Stephen Liss jr | |||

Mine came from Pensacola Fuel Injection. Think they were $149 each. Mikey | |||

My '05 LLY broke a piston at 104,999 miles due to a faulty injector. I replaced that injector and one other when the new long block went in. Tony Leonard | |||

I would stay away from Pensacola injection which i believe is the same as Pensacola diesel. Just do a quick search for reviews on them. Lincoln diesel is a quality seller. Get on some of the duramax forums and do a search, there are some quality replacement that have a new resigned nozzle that is suppose to do away with the design flaws of the bosh nozzle. | |||

I was told to make sure the replacement injectors come from Bosch certified remanufacturing place. | |||
