If we all agree that turbo cars are less reliable long term, then how do the new 2017 models stand a chance in lasting 20-40 years or more?
constant rebuilds? jack stands? anyone have a thought? |

I think a set of 6 high pressure fuel injectors for my dodge diesel is around $2500
luckily I haven't had to do that job yet, but its only a matter of time and in 20 years, they probably won't make that specific model of injector anyways, as it was only used a few years until the newer, even higher pressure injectors are in use now.... |

Just replaced all six injectors last Saturday in my Dodge Brant...$2700 with new fuel tubes/filters...kinda sucked but beats the alternative. What mileage are you at? I just hit 123...

Hard to say. 99percent of my highway miles are with the trailer on. So I don't have good data for mileage But I know its down at least 1mpg in the last year or so Starting to get nervous about it Did you see a big improvement sense swapping them out? Were you smoking a lot before the job? I'm not smoking yet |
