I was just about to tell you to crack injectors, hmm it can possibly be a head gasket if it sounds like it misses have you checked you coolant to see if there any contamination. You can perform a pressure test on the cooling system and see if there is a leak and a compression test. Did you happen to take a look down the injector holes and look at the top of the pistons to see what how they look, if they had some white color to them it indicates a coolant leak.

Pistons looked OK and coolant was clean and its not overheating

That's the first problem. How much did they soak you?

RanchhandTCR 12-31-2012 07:57 PM

oh boy, is it a bosch bump or some offbrand injection pump.

kemcclintock 12-31-2012 08:44 PM

Ok got it running it was a simple fix when they installed injection line 1 and 4 switched
But I have a new issue when I was on my way home I stepped into it to pass a car and I got a pop and now I have what sounds like a knock any ideas ?

RanchhandTCR 12-31-2012 11:46 PM

they had injection lines one and four switched? how they manage that.... Now the knock scares me it can be a simple injector fuel knock or you just blew a hole thru the top of your piston. Who did the job for your where they an Auto repair shop or a diesel repair shop?

kemcclintock 01-01-2013 08:41 AM

It was a diesel shop they said they work on dodge but all that was in the lot was Ford's.
How can I tell of its an injector knock. Yes they and 1 and 4 switched

If I blew a hole in the piston would I have fuel in the oil?

RanchhandTCR 01-01-2013 11:57 AM

yea you would have fuel in oil to test an injector knock go and crack injectors again and see if it quites.
