Be sure to record the injector ser #'s & re-install them in their original locations.

Hexus...Did you find any leaking injector at the copper seal? The copper seal is to prevent a compression leak and the O-ring is to prevent water and other things from dropping in between the injector and the intake. Inspect the lower surface where the copper seal sits, It must be clean and smooth?

Still not a bad idea to send the injectors out.

Oh boy, something to look forward to, I just finished the HG and rockers my self. 500 miles, runs great. When I was replacing the washers on mine, I noticed a small build up of carbon under the old washers. I used a pick to clean the corner so that the washer would sit on all the way. Still to early to tell, but no problems so far.

Cleaning is the most important thing. I used a little fuel and a small wire brush on a drill to clean the lower surface where the copper washer sets, that's the most important place as to keep from having a compression leak. Placing a bit of water around the injector's sounds like a good idea. I would try that!

Alright, I was completely off. It had nothing to do with fuel injectors or anything fuel or top end related. I have the dreaded P0700 code. Transmission shop for me tomorrow apparently.

Alright, I'm going to send the injectors off to be checked out.

Has anyone ever heard of these guys, they seem very legitimate:

This is the link to their injector test page, they're a Bosch certified shop and they will clean and test them for $24 each and let you know all the information.

When I get my scanner from GDE next week I'll share any codes, but right now I'm banking on fuel injector issues.

Late to the party, here.

I'm really surprised that you could not find a certified Bosch diesel shop in the Nashville area. My parent company is in Louisville, KY, is definitely Bosch certifed and could have tested those injectors for you, likely in less time, but more like ~$50 each.

Edit: For future diesel needs, here is a place you might consider:

Hope this helps.

Absolutely, will do. I'm a born and raised Hoosier Myself.

Guy at the Transmission shop is VERY familiar with the 545RFE, he's worked on it in a lot of Dodge trucks and Durangos. He says they're pretty Bomb proof. His initial estimate is that a solenoid pack has gone bad because pressure codes are all he's pulling, Pressure A, Pressure B, and Pressure C.

I have some old cover damage, and I think I might just go a head and upgrade the TC while they're in there, not sure yet.

When I hear more I'll update and start a new thread about it.
