How many miles do you have on the truck since the swap? Is it still low on power?

It should only haze at idle for the first few miles/heat cycle. If you have a haze at warm idle and you have ten miles or so on it I am gonna bet you have a injector that isn't seated all the way.

Thats what it sounds like to me...

The thick white smoke he was talking about...He lives in FL....its not THAT cold down there where he'd be having steam like we do up north. I get thick white exhaust but its all steam, like when you exhale.

No I have maybe 40 miles on it. The cold start this am it did not smoke at all. I'm positive they are all seated correctly also..

So then is there still a problem?

Not really other then the hesitation on take off and the off idle which I think is my bad old oil

That's what I'm thinking...

It did just fall on its face though at around 80 mph when I was fully in it. Ipr?

Did you lube up the injector o-rings really good when you installed them?

SouthFlstrokin' · Jan 19, 2012

I sprayed the crap out of them with wd40 and they were already oiled.

Cory S · Jan 19, 2012

do you have AE? ill be in our neck of the woods this weekend or monday picking up my truck from doug if you want me to bring AE down

SouthFlstrokin' · Jan 19, 2012

If you could bring one that would be great. I could ask Doug but he's a pita sometimes

Why did you do that? The only thing I would ever use is engine oil. The new wd40 ain't like the old stuff.

SouthFlstrokin' · Jan 19, 2012

It was said in a previous post to use some :shrug:

I would have used fresh oil but I didnt have any atm... I have a feeling I ****ed up huh? ...

You dont need anti seize. Make sure you spray WD 40 on the injector or dip it in oil before you install, makes getting them seated fairly easy!

^ this post...

I don't think its a torn oring, I think its old dirty oil. Well see tomorrow when I change it. It's seems to be running much better after the little run I had today. But it did kinda fall on its face.

Arisley · Jan 19, 2012

How much did you pay for the injectors. Don't cheap out by not running fresh oil.

When I did my injectors, I changed the oil before the initial start, and then I changed the oil after about 100 miles or so.

Derek@Vision Diesel · Jan 19, 2012

I mentioned using WD40. I have done that on probably 10 injectors change outs now, never had an issue.

Fresh motor oil is another great option, but i dont think WD40 is whats causing issues

I paid a fair amount lol, I would have ran fresh oil during inital start up but when I went to get the oil / filter every card was declined :/

I need my truck to get to work, I've barely put 60 miles on it since. I literally live 2 miles from my compound

woodduck97 · Jan 20, 2012

Who built the injectors and what size? Were you noticing a take off problem before you installed the new injectors? Also did you change tunes and injectors at the same time?

To me it almost sounds like you have a o ring problem. Since it is falling on its face. As you say. Maybe try to take a video of this take off problem so we can veiw what is going on...
