So this sounds like what happened to my Dad's 07 5.9L work rig.

We had already went through 4 other injectors, all covered under warranty, but on the 5th injector failure the shop was backed up and couldnt work on the truck until about a week later. Again the truck is a work truck and cannot sit unless necessary, and the dealership told us to run it.

About two days before the appointment, the engine blew a hole in a piston, and the dealership finally changed all 6 injectors (like the should have after the second injector failure...) and changed the longblock assembly.

So get into the dealership as soon as possible-let the warranty take care of it, and be careful between now and then! (Of course you need the remove your programmer before going into the shop with it.)

I'd love to take it for warranty,but Dodge in it's infinite wisdom won't honor my warranty since I brought the truck from Texas to Canada,and Canada won't honor the warranty because it's from out of country.....got to love free trade!

I would try taking the #2 injector and switch it with another injector, and then see if the problem follows the injector.

Exaactly what I would do first. Swap 1+2 and see if it moves. If not, then I would think about doing a compression and leakdown test. Are you blowing any od colored smoke? White or blue?
