CTD CRD Injector/Nozzle Questions

[Mack]

Coming from the 2nd gen 24v world, where Injectors were complete swaps, what's the best shot for these on the new CRD's? I notice most people tend to offer nozzle swaps vs entire injector swaps- this a good way of going about it? Create any Issues?

Everything I can find says that most everyone is offering just nozzles or injectors that are rebuilt/used with nozzles. From some things I have read recently, it looks like Don M is still the man at Formula One Diesel. You can send him your injectors where he will rebuild them to better than factory specs and put nozzles on them while they are there for a resonable price. That is the route I am going to go in the next couple of months.

Camp-
That's what I had found too, just wondering if I was reading off base stuff, or what. Unfortunately, I don't know if I can be down my DD for that long, so I may get the nozzles and try and have someone local help me out. They've only got sub 30k on them, so I don't know if a full rebuild is required... (or at least i would hope)

Contact Rob Watkins at Performance Car and Truck. 303-278-8038 He does these all the time. He can pop test the injectors, do the R&R, and run the rack if you would like. He has a great hourly rate...specializes in Dodge diesels...but not limited to them. Tell him I sent you over.

When you are ready, talk to Don M first. From what I've ready, many times he can send you a set that he has on hand and is working on while you are pulling your's out, to shorten the down time. Basically, he can exchange them. As Chris points out, if you get someone like Rob ready for this to happen and then get Don to send the exchange set, you can probably be down only a day or two.

We have done mine in 4 hours....without running the rack of coarse due to the truck having to sit overnight or less than 160 degrees F. These trucks take a long time to cool off.
