can you post proof of the change to 10yrs? I know a lot of guys that coudl really use it. Wont do me any good as I have 356k on mine.

So if you can get written proof of the extentions that would be GREAT.

you can post up a thread in the price request forum adn our sponsors will PM you quotes. i know when i had my powerstroke it was cheaper to get higher HP injectors than it was to get stock ones. don't know if that is how it goes with the Duramax though....

Default Injector

There is the statement (per special policy) on the repair invoice

The problem was a internal cracked injector.

All work was (n/c) no charge.

did you just take it in and they told you it was a 10 year warranty or did you have to fight with them a bit?

Default Injector

Did not have to fight at all.

They said only part of an injector failure is covered.

My failure was a cracked injector, which was covered under this new warranty.
