Injector Failure
well, i was driving down the i-10 (at about 70 mpg) on my way to Orlando to visit some family for thanksgiving and my truck all of the sudden threw a CEL and starting running like crap and had no power. cycled the key to find out code p2149 popped up. so now i'm stuck on the side of the highway. luckily i had a good friend w/ a gooseneck trailer that was able to come and pick me up. i was 2 hrs away from my house. I've done some searching but i hadn't found any treads where people came back on to let us know what happened to fix their problems. i've checked the connections for the injectors but it didn't change anything.
well, the dealer ended up screwing me on the deal. they said the #5 injector failed and the tech hadn't seen an injector fail like that before so he called dodge or cummins tech department and they told them the only way the injectors fail like that was if it had a tuner on it (which i don't yet). the manager said that he had no prof that it had one so they didn't void the warranty on the truck but they were not going to cover the 1k bill to replace the injector. i think this is BS! they should have paid this, i have done nothing to the truck to cause this. i didn't want to pay for this but i need to get my truck fixed so i could still make it down for the holidays (i'll be in the desert this time next year). so now i've got to try to see if i can get my money reimbursed. this is just frustrating!!!! i'll let ya'll know what happens.
