Air Force for 6 years then I started As an aprentice in Westland Mich in march of 1992. Got my Diesel certs in 96 or 97 while at a Linc dealership in San Antonio Tx. Got my first Master Cert (Chassis) in 1999 in Aransas Pass Texas, Moved to Houston in 02 but had to move back to the Corpus Christi area in 04 for family reasons. Anyway 7 dealerships in 2 states and 6 cities. Tool boxes have wheels for a reason. Been all Ford though. I got more Certification plaques then I have walls. Still working on my Dealership General Manager Certification though.

As long as its done correctly, it works great. However if you allready know what side its happening on then you allready know what it needs. I view this strictly as a personal need to know test. By the way Keith. Great picture. I haven't seen one quite that bad yet. Thankfully.

Back in the day I hated doing the Dye Test. However, Now I wont touch an oil leak on anything without seeing Dye first. It pisses some customers off when they have to bring there truck back in a week but at least I know I have found the source of the leak.

The reason for the complete bank replacement is the lack of fuel to the other injectors on that same bank. Combustion gasses entering into the fuel supply rail = injectors hammering air = damaged injector bores. At least this is how I looked at things. We have done our share of these but there has been no real pattern. Seems I have done more with sticking pintles then I have with the injectors being loose. Customers just dont seem to understand how important clean fuel filters are to these things.
