Is there a way to report a dealer to DC for this stuff?

 

That's what I was thinking - get them to write it down - i.e a written quote for the work, and then take it directly to Chrysler. That's a bunch of crap...

 

Don't take it to Chrysler.You take it to the BBB.

 

What I would do is see if DonM @ Formula 1 Diesel can do anything with yours. He can check them out and rebuild them if they aren't too messed up. The only downside to this is your truck will be down for about a week or so.
$10K is WAY TOO much!

 

Also of note.. The 6.7 injectors are adaptive learned to the ECM. That is #1 has to be put back into #1 or you need the StarScan to re-initiate the learning process with the ECM.. Pulling injectors isn't as easy as it was before.

 

Get a local mechanic that knows these engines to in with you [ someone that knows these , to ask the correct questions ] get as much in writing as you can , then pick up the phone & call the cops , no holds barred , That is felony [ grand theft , because of the amount ] , after getting off the phone with the cops , call your local news station [ again having the issue stated in the correct terms ] you could get the news to run with it for you .
Equate what they are doing to the ponzee scam by Madolf , and its time to stop it , now .

 

Bet there is NO local mechanic that knows these 6.7 engines.Very few that know the 5.9. The 6.7 is still very new.

 

spent almost that much for the complete fuel in my 06. one thing you need to to do tho is change the fuel filter no less then 12k miles at a time. your probably like me and run a lot of miles and thats the only way i know in order to prtect the injectors is to change the fuel filter around 10 to 12k. been thru about 4 sets now on 2 different trucks

 

They do not have to know a particular motor , just know about the engine in general , be a good mechanic / tech , what spec.s they do not know they should be able to look up & prices from different suppliers .
The point being , is sounds like you need an adviser on this issue .

 

I have heard stories before about these injectors being extremely expensive. So I called around and yes, they run about $1900 each from both my local dealers. Yes that is REDICULOUS. So I spoke to my friend that works for Cummins and he confirmed that that is what they get for them. Something about the fact that they have to be able to handle 5 injection events.
That being said, I would be concerned about getting after market injectors. Can they handle the stress that is required to run so many inj events? For how long? What kind of warranty do you get with that. Does the dealer give you a better warranty?
The one concern I would have with aftermarket is, ARE they just changing the nozzles or do they rebuild the entire injector?
Sorry to hear about them going bad. This is the one area that really scares me about the 6.7s.

This is getting to the point of giving diesel a bad rap , much like when GM came out with the converted 350 gas to diesel .
This is the kind of story that is a perfect example of why the mechanical injection is as good as it got , even if I had won the loto I would not buy this new garbage , putting so much tech into the truck , you can not do anything with it .
Not that I am against the tech part , when I was working regular in the bis. I was very good at diagnostics , fix the 1st time & finding out why something happened & fix that so the same does not come back , with that in mind as a mechanic / tech , my reasoning is to stay away from something that is over engineered / lost cause , it mostly about emissions , and there going about it in the wrong way , the old phrase , planned obsolescence comes , if they have to play the emissions game , they are going to do it in such a way that they are going to make more money at it .
That's a short term view , now with the economy the way it is , and badly engineered systems , they are going to eliminate the vast majority if interest in these trucks , then there just will not be any .
At every level are so called leaders are leading to the toilet & we do not have to follow , rant over .

 

Maybe mr. ed will chime in here. Anyway, on another forum, he mentioned a rough idle problem with his 07.5. He says 8oz of Power Service in a tank of fuel cleared it up. He hadn't been using any additive prior, and used it as a last resort, not wanting the dealer messing with his engine.

I would definitely get another opinion.

You haven't been using any home-brew additives have you? Like ATF or something in your fuel?

 

if this is a 67 dealer cost on ea injectors is 1175.00 retail is 1965.00 ea no remans if chry is willing to pay some of it is this is about right price most of the time they will pay for parts

 

If I'm not mistaken there are no 'aftermarket'injectors.Only tips.The rest of the injector is repaired but in essence a factory unit.For the 6.7 I bet that's not even available.The 5 injection even as well as three or whatever is controlled by the ecm programing as the 03/04 injector is the same as the 05/06/07 injector except for the tips(5.9) if I have read about them correctly.Whatever the price on replacements is OUTRAGEOUS.If they went to failing left and right on trucks under 100k the price would drop drastically.When the manufacture has to sell it back to themselves under warranty with dealer mark up they will lower the price after a while 10 fold.I saw 300zx & Maxima rack and pinion units in the mid 80s go from $1500 plus to $395.00 in a hurry when they went to failing left and right.But I'll say it again outrageous!

 

That's right, Coolbreeze. I was going to start a new thread on this subject but I'll chime in anyway. About a week ago I added 8oz of Power Service to my 34 gallon tank (I forget which type, there are two...I'll mention it in the new thread). Since that very day the truck has been running 100% better...seems to have more power, too! Some of the symptoms before adding the PS were: occasional rough idle, with the tachometer often dipping below the normal idle speed for an instant and then raising up, especially after coming to a stop. Power appeared to be somewhat less than normal, especially when climbing a grade.

I was almost ready to bring the truck to a dealer but glad I waited.

I feel the PS definitely cleared things up and it's not just a coincidence that the situation cleared itself. The problem had been going on to long for that to happen.
