One Milestone Reached Yesterday

Spanked 100,000 miles on the 06 yesterday afternoon. 3 years and 8 months to reach, and be another 3 years at least to get to 200,000. Nothing major other than 19 injectors and a torque converter (stuck an ATS in her). Hopefully by summer or fall, I can get the stock transmission out and a moderate built Goerndt in place of it.

Replaced a set in the summer of 07, right after I stuck DDP 90hp nozzles on it. I wasn't sure how many went bad, I said the heck with it, and replaced them all. Good to go till last May, or somewhere in there. Fuel mileage sucked ***, brought it to the dealer to run a contribution test. Tested good, then bad, then good again. Replaced all 6 again, this time with Bosch remans, along with the tubes and rail pressure relief (may have been what caused the false reading). Last November, had another go out, ran rough till I hit the high idle. Said is was messed up big time. Been a couple months, and they're holding up. Dealer says idle time was the reason behind it, IDK but whatever.

How long do you idle it?

115k on mine and although it's new to me there has not been one single warranty claim for injectors according to the vin check at the dealer.

And now that I have jinxed myself...

I would not consider that ldeling too long. I have been traveling during the winter to Idaho and have stopped to nap, left truck high idle for HOURS (5 plus at a time).
