Made it back no issues but it still doesn't feel right, at low engine rpm I can feel a slight miss and can hear more than usual injector noise my question is should I take it to my local diesel shop or tear into it and send them off somewhere what do y'all recommend

That's a tough one. If it's an injector you would have to figure out which one is the one not working properly. Who knows if it could be something else although it does sound like it's an injector.

I'm thinking injector/wiring if the problem comes and goes somewhat,,,

Mine was hazing black smoke @ Idle (But wasnt missing) and the Tech was able to Isolate all of the injectors and determined that # 2 was returning too much fuel,,,,,, glad its fixed under warranty!!!!

I assume that means you ended up having it towed. It just says you thought you would. Doesn't say you did. Glad you figured it out.

Yep had It towed to a local shop for them to isolate the cylinders but they wanted eight hundred including injector to replace it so I got one from my buddy at the local dealer at employee discount pricing so it saved me almost five hundred LOL and it runs great again, I do run additive-cleaner every other tank
