Replace Injectors...How Hard???

[ARbowhunter7]

Ok, I've got a neighbor that just bought a six-oh 'Stroke ('03) and it needs new sticks. He wants to do it himself, but he's wondering how tough it's gonna be. I drive a Duramax, and I wouldn't even think about trying to replace mine, but I know it's easy on a Cummins. So how tough is it on a 6.0? Would it be better to take it to a shop? Thanks for the help.

Why does it need new sticks?

Its not too bad. I was intimidated at first, but its not all that bad. Just get ready to twist and cram your hand in really tight places.

Abrannan19, is Rotella rough on 6.0l Injectors? Should I stop Running it in our 6.0l's?

Yea Bobus...I wouldn't run it.

HEUI injectors in general HATE Rotella! A good 5W40 synthetic is much more preferable.

Guess I'll look into Swappin Oils.. Whats a good all-around Oil? Something that I can Run in everything, Truck (7.3l & 6.0l) and Equipment?

A good all around oil is the Valvoline All Fleet Plus 15w-40. It was created to run mixed service of diesel and gasoline vehicles. But a 5w-40 synthetic would be better to run in the powerstrokes.
