About to change out injectors can always use advise on this from my lightning friends how much time from start to finish 2003 lightning any advise is well accepted.


THANKS TOM

 

not bad at all man
just unbolt the rail and pop the new ones in
just make sure the old o-rings come out and the new ones seat in ok. maybe put a small amout of oil on them so then dont tare

 

I've only done an injector swap, once. But, to me it was easier than a spark plug change.

Good Luck.

ANYTHING is easier than those dayum plugs !!!

 

I agree, and believe me I've changed mine more than most will in their life time. (@#$(@$%(@$%(@$@$

AS for Injectors, I found the injector swap to be the easiest Mod yet on the truck, 4 bolts and you simply pop them out and in. Start to finish should be 30-50 minutes.

 

Rob that seems simple enough fuel rail off and then just remove and replace/ thanks

 

Thats about all you need to know my Brother "except"

#1- When you remove the 4 bolts holding the rails on, GET A RAG READY "BEFORE" you pull the rail up to catch some fuel

#2- Good ole back Cylinder Drivers Side will of course be the only MF of the bunch, there is minimum clearance there to lift the rail because thats where the fuel line comes in. It's still cake just get up on top of your work and the job is truly a breeze.....

#3- "IF" you want ("if")
You can pull the two Supercharger "NUTS" on the Drivers Side, and unplug all the crap and get the EGR Bracket and all the components attached to it out of your way

As far as oil, I was told grease and couldnt find any, so I used the Beatch's Motion Lotion

HEY MAYBE THATS WHY MY MOTOR BLEW, IT BLEW IT'S LOAD

 

i said oil cause when i did it i didnt want a clump of grease in the hole for the injector
just wipe some new oil on the o-ring with your finger to lube it up
its not like i soaked the injectors like lifters!!

 

Mike I hope you dont think I was saying anything was wrong with oil
I just always heard you should use vasoline and since I didnt have any handy,
I got creative like you, (well in my case maybe over creative)

 

oh no i just didnt want you or him to think i was soakin them

 

Well? Been more than the 'estimated' swap time since you last posted.

(Based on the opinions of the simplicity of this swap, I'm envious. Gapping my new plugs now and heading out to change them. At least it's not cold. )

Hope you made out ok..

 

MAN what a tough job coil bolts in under regulator who sells coil pack bolts???? thanks
