See post #3 in this thread...it was actually 42,XXX miles.

#3 injector failed again 43,310 miles.

2 tanks of Fuel between failures.

 

Got you all beat. I've had 8 injectors go in 23,000 miles. None due to filtration problems just faulty injectors.

 

Really? Holy expletive! That's a bad run of injectors.

Do you change the oil after 500 miles with each injector replacement?

(They change the oil due to fuel in it, then 500 miles later they make me pay for it to be changed...Make = Recommend so warranty doesn't have to cover it, but protects them if something goes awry)

 

The teck told me mine were shorted out not stopped up. I agree that a better filter is a good idea but that`s not what was wrong with mine.

 

Whats the build date on your engine?

 

What Micron is the Wix??? That is whats been run in my truck 73K,,, no problems,,,,,,YET!!!!!! LOLOL!!!!

 

They weren't straight streaming and filling the crank case, just causing the white smoke and rough idle issues.

 

10 micron.. I changed to Fleetguards at 110,000 miles because they were easier to get for me. I liked the Wix filters..

Cincy now currently putting on flame suit

 

I've got 323900 km and over 8000 hours on the stockers, with zero motifications to the fuel system

 

Avoiding water is the key. Water kills these things. I have seen a tank of watery fuel kill all 6 injectors in under 50 miles!!

The resin in the filter media is what removes the water from the fuel, but if the fuel is traveling too fast through the media, the effectiveness is less.

Of course low micron filtration is good as well, but secondary from what I see here.

 

Shouldn't the senor tell us of this problem? Don't doubt you one bit or did dodge or cummins not do thier homework again and not put in a sensor that is sensitive enough to see it before it causes problems? I also hear a good lubricating aditive will help as well.

 

5 injectors in 33,000 miles. 2007 2500, 2 years old. the #5 went two different times. i had one go at 10,000 miles.

 

80,000 on stock sticks.. Baldwin 5micron smarty on SW-3. I change fuel filter every oil change,5,000 miles..
