Ah, you washed it. I would pull the High pressure sensor connector off the rail and look for water inside. If you had a Rail pressure gauge this would be easier. IF you had water in this it would make your truck run like crap and ramp the RP up way to high which can possibly damage your injectors.

I did not wash the top of the motor, only the sides so the harness should not have been affected.

As it turns out injector 6 is toast (had a guy run diagnostics on it today) so new injectors are being installed tomorrow. Hopefully I will be back on the road to some decent mileage after paying the bill...

Well turned out that I had a bad injector (after only 88K miles) and had them all replaced. Decided to let a local diesel mechanic do the work - reasonable rate, and done right. It runs great now, hoping to recoup some of the MPGs I was losing before R&R'ing the injectors.

Great to hear!

What fuel filter do you run and how often do you change it? Just curious

I am using the stock filtering system and I change the filter every 7500 miles. I was considering a FASS system - suggestions?
