Hey guys. First off I will disclose I know basically nothing on this diesel cummins. I simply drive it everyday. It has 265K miles and have not had to crack a bolt on the engine. Tranny is another story.
I am getting ready to do a cosmetic overhaul this summer and am trying to get the drivetrain in similar condition before I add a new dually bed and paint the entire truck. I just changed a cracked exhaust manifold and at that time I mentioned to my diesel mechanic to tell me anything that needs attention. He stated my injectors are getting very noisy and will need to come out at some point in the near future. He said be prepared to spend $2800 to put new ones in... $2800, I am still frothing at the mouth. For 6 tiny injectors. The most expensive ones I can find on ebay are $1100 a set; so is the labor that intensive. Secondly if they are that expensive then why are they that expensive? Thanks for any input.
