As I have been driving my cruiser more often these days with all the kids home driving my other vehicles, Ihave recently been thinking about my injectors.
When should I start thinking of having the injectors serviced?
I am not having any problems (knock on wood!). The rig starts quickly, does not smoke, sounds like all the videos I have seen on YouTube of othe 3B engines. That being said, I have no Idea of how many miles it has on it as the odometer stopped at 247k kilometers. (It does have some blow by out the tube)
I only drive about 8 miles to work, and other than the usual lack of power that I feel is typical, the truck has been great. I recently installed a new transmission and transfer case, and I can hear the radio now! It also has allowed me to hear the engine... and nothing really concerning.
After searching here and seeing @lostmarbles thread on replacement of injectors, I am not sure I want to do this for “piece of mind”.
B engine compression & leakage testing along with glowplug & injector replacement
Especially since there are no great cruiser shops around that I know of and even less That are knowledgeable on the diesels.
So, I pose the question to the group: “When?”
Do I wait until there is a problem? Are there mileage guidelines?
Let me know your thoughts!
