I’m also interested in the best place to purchase the injectors (which injectors?) and installation kit? Cost is a factor. Has anyone used a local shop to have Duramax repairs that they would recommend that are fair and reasonably priced?
I’m not 100% sure I’ll be keeping this truck so I don’t want to spend top dollar on this repair. Thanks for the help.

:chuckle: kidding!! I have an 06, wonder how much longer I have on my injectors?? I put a fuel additive in every few tanks.

people I work with just payed $4k+ to have their 03 Duramax injectors changed
Where did they have it done? The research I’ve done shows that you can pay anywhere from $1500 (remanufactured)-3000 (new) for a set with installation kit. $1500 sounds about right for labor.
Also, considering just selling it AS IS so I don’t have to hassle with it. I’m replacing some small things that have been neglected on it already.

they had it done in NE Oregon where they live, I think that was all they had done, but maybe there was something else they did while they were at it. $4k sounds steep, I did the injectors myself in my '99 Powerstroke but that was pretty easy. I think I got Reman. injectors for $400 each through a buddy. again way different pickuppeople I work with just payed $4k+ to have their 03 Duramax injectors changed

From what Ive read the recommendation was to stay away from rebuilt.

How dare you post this on draw day!! You realize nothing else matters today right????

The 06 LBZ is cheaper and easier. You can replace whichever injectors are bad. They are on the outside and way easier to get to. The earlier model Duramax engines they recommend replacing them all at once because they are so labor intensive to get to. My LBZ is still running strong on original injectors with 225,000 miles on them.

I did this on my 06 lbz and noticed a difference. They dont make the AcDelco stuff anymore but I found it on ebay. The lb7s are known for bad injectors. I think when they first came out they had a recall for them. Good luck

They have many different injector options too, I just posted up their 24 month warranty OEM.

Coach on here is a heck of a mechanic, I had him replace my injector pump on my 06, did a great job and was reasonable. Not sure what his business's name is, he's just north of Seattle I think. @coach. Or. #coachAs trophyhut said Coach (Cory) is very good and reasonable. His company is called Automotive Inc, they are in Kenmore 206-522-6100. He even delayed a hunting trip to get my daughters Blazer on the road before heading out.

I ordered mine from https://www.injectorsdirect.com/ as it was the best deal and my buddy replaced them for me. You'll also need to get the little cups they sit in as well as all the gaskets and high pressure lines. IIRC it was close to 4 grand for everything. Are you positive they need to be replaced?
Post by: BeWitty on June 12, 2019, 11:54:10 AM
It sounds like injectorsdirect aren’t a bad source as long as you buy the Remanufactured and NOT the refurbished. And agreed, for a job this involved you replace them all at once.
I was told the injectors were originally replaced at 90k miles and now the truck has 190k so it seems about time to do it again. Thanks for the responses.
Post by: BeWitty on June 18, 2019, 07:54:50 PM
What’s is worth as is? $9-$10k? I see others 03s with similar miles go for $15/$16k.
