Default How to know if the injectors are good

Hi Gang,

Just wondering how to tell if the injectors are good or not. I sometimes get black smoke if I'm just hitting the paddle. It doesn't do it all the time, plus the odd time it seems to me that the power goes?

I've changed my fuel filter not that long ago, maybe 13,000km(Cdn)

I was talking with another diesel owner he said it could be them or the Turbo?

On my truck I have 124,000km for an 2006 2500 5.9L this is my first deisel so still learning..

BUT DAM GLAD I HAVE A DIESEL OVER A GAS POT

Rob

Good info Whit I guess I never thought about using a thermo gun. That's slick right there but yet so simple
