Central Motive Power in Denver first.
If not the Denver location, try the ABQ location.

I'll throw in a good word for shipping to: Welcome to DFISPDX.com if the local doesn't work. Quite a few have used them on here including me. Great communication, price and honest people.
I'm with @lazylfarm farm on this one. DFIS did mine and were awesome to deal with.

Got them fixed up at central motive power, good dudes. It fired right up seems to run smoother using the butt dyno.
Apparently one was stuck open and the rest had a bad spray pattern when they tested them out..

How is your oil ? When you have a stuck injector, they can dribble diesel and dilute the oil.
What do the figures on the RH represent, is it some type of volume measurement for each charge?
Its good when the shop gives you info like that.

Sadly mine is burning about a quart every 1000-1500 miles. I dont know if this happened because of the stuck injector, but I'm going to be doing a rebuild after this summer.. I believe the numbers are part of the pressure test that they perform. I remember him saying something along the lines of "pop off pressure"
McGuire, I rebuilt my injectors recently and simplest way about it was getting new Denso nozzles which set me back about $220 bucks I installed them myself just because the curiosity got the best of me and it became very obvious how they work with the spring "for pop pressure" and associated shims to adjust that pressure. I then took them to a local diesel shop and they checked opening "pop" pressure and I believe they ended up reshimming one or two. Their charge was only like $38. It wouldn't have been any more for them to install the nozzles and they told me they could get the same Denso ones but I was just being ocd and wanted to source myself to make sure I wasn't getting some aftermarket ones.
What weight oil are you using? I would be using at least 20/50 in an old diesel. I doubt a bad injector would cause it.

Nice, I didn’t know they were a diy fix. Would have saved me a few bucks.. they used all denso parts luckily. The guy I was working with did mention that mechanical injectors are super easy to fix/ work on, I guess compared to the new electronic ones??Hopefully I won’t have to touch them for a while.

5w20 synthetic for the winter which is making a white haze, 15w40 Dino in the summer which has more of a blue haze.. I’ll give the thicker stuff a try this summer and see if it will hold me over.
