Well, I'm glad it is apparently an injector, as opposed to broken rings...

If you pull the valve cover, you may be able to immediately see a cleaner spot that tells you where it is coming from. Otherwise, have a fire extinguisher just in case, and start the engine.

Or, as you said, it would be a great excuse to upgrade injectors...

There have been threads here where someone noticed the fuel gauge was dropping rapidly, and when they got to where they were going the entire underside of the truck was coated- and the oil pan was full of mostly fuel... They didn't have bearing troubles, so my guess would be that since you caught it very early that your engine is OK. I wouldn't run it more than you have to, though.

 

Yes sir, I'm taking it home and parking it until it is fixed. I believe I have caught it very early.

I have spent the better part of the day trying to get in contact with someone that can provide Flux sticks but from what I understand, this might not be doable for me since I may have to wait a few weeks to get them. It is the time of year where I may not be able to wait that long while the truck is down.

 

send me a pm if you need help, i have had mine apart almost 6 times now in the past few days going over things. i just did injectors.with tips, i have a spare set of tips as well.

 

PM sent...
