or Cackle injector. The biggest problem with all HEUIs is nozzle spring breakage. The
higher power PowerStroke injectors are also hard on the intensifier pistons and injector
tips. They erode both badly. The fuel pump is the tried and true DB4.Keep clean fuel
in it (and fuel additive) these things will last forever. Keep a close eye on the Rexroth
high-pressure oil pump. Without that, the engine WILL NOT FIRE!!
You have a listings for any of these shops ? I do make it down to Louisville & Paducah every so often.

That's the problem with these newer diesels: all the pollution equipment and the engine management is really expensive to repair if it acts up.
