I spent 35 years employed as a professional mechanic and whether you admit it or not you are also a mechanic. You do good work and I believe could easily hold your own in that business. Safe Travels!
Charles, thank you for sharing this! I'm in limp mode, in Meridian Mississippi (about 600 miles from home) due to my #7 injector. No one can get me in foe a week and I have to get my load delivered to Louisiana by tomorrow. You are a lifesaver!! Now, I just need to find an injector near me! Again, you are very appreciated by many viewers, especially me. Thank you!
Dang, i wish i was closer. I would definitely change the connector then start the engine and see if that fixes it before replacing the injector. I jumped to the injector then had to take it back apart and change the connector for the second time then it was good. Good luck sir and if i can be any help my email is cfarmeronyt@gmail.com
Hey Charles. You get a standing ovation for changing an injector in a parking lot with just basic hand tools. GM/Duramax gets a tip of my hat as well for making it fairly accessible and straightforward. Oh, and if that injector was still good at almost 400k miles that's also a testament as to the (overall) reliability of the Duramax platform. This video will surely be helpful to someone looking to swap out an injector. Thanks for taking the time to document this job.
Thankyou for a wonder video with excellent lighting and narration. So many TH-camrs do not video the subject well and their narration is very bad. I appreciate your effort and I am now a lifelong subscriber.
I'm new to your page and these l5p's, and learning a lot. Moving from Indiana to Arizona in a few months. These videos are very helpful. BTW... Bass Pro in Portage is practically in my backyard! Roll On, Stay safe, and Thank You for the great content!
I had this problem with my L5p I actually watched ur video on how to fix it I depinned the factory connecter and squeezed them a little tighter haven’t had issue since as I write this tomorrow I probably will have a problem thanks for the time to make a video
I’ve got a 2019 Chevy Silverado 3500 dually just hit the 200k and having the same exact issues. But luckily watching your videos you have done so well might I add. Everything you did just saves a whole bunch of money. Thank you sir!!
Real helpful. I had code p0205 and watched this. It convinced me to try the fix myself. Went with just the pigtail and after 200+ miles still no return on the code. How a dealer say it takes 5 hours for this is beyond me. Thanks
Thanks for the video This may sound dumb but I’ve already purchased every part you have made a video on and keep them in the truck just in case parts keep getting harder to find
@@CFarmer just trying to help your algarythem. I can't thank guys like yourself enough for taking the time and making the vids that help guys like me tremendously. Very much appreciated.
Hi Charles. I’ve been watching for a long time and I have my own LTZ L5P just like yours. I’m having a problem where I think a connector is going out (I’m getting a random misfire/thud at idle and when under load at around 1800rpm) but truck won’t throw a code and tell me where to look. Any ideas? It’s driving me nuts. I love the truck but hate when it stutters and I can’t fix it. I’m almost 99% sure it’s a connector/ stupid fix.
Good afternoon. I have a issue that is not making sense. About a 100 miles from home #5 injector plug went out I got home ordered the part and replaced #5 injector plug. Now I have no throttle at all? Before I replaced it, I was able to drive up to 50 mph.
I'm planning on doing all 8 sometime soon just for that reason. Feel pretty fortunate I've not had more issues with the miles on the truck. Thank you for your comment
Do you know if can the truck be driven with a new injector without updating the codes? I can change the injector myself but don’t want to spend the $$$ on a new scan tool. Would just be driven to somewhere that could program the new codes in. Thanks for the helpful videos!
On mine i found the injector flow rate and hit the edit button at the bottom right hand corner. I am away from my scan tool or i would try and walk you through it
At 200k i started using hot shot secrets edt and at 300k i started running lucas dpf cleaner. Every fill up i put hot shot secrets except on the 3rd then i put in lucas. That's the only thing I've done as far as cleaning injectors.
Thanks. I bought a 17 with 75k and all injectors was just replaced. I’m at 110k and truck threw a p026d code suggesting there’s a fuel injection imbalance. Dealership says all injectors need replacing. Smh… I cleaned the air press/temp sensor and code went out for now…only been 2 days …and I added some fuel treatment. But you’re doing a great job. Your videos make for good reference points
Thank you, i had stated getting the p026D code on every other trip and i would clear the code and it would eventually come back. Eventually it went off and stayed offand i never really figured out the cause. I did notice if i buy fuel at small places around home i would get the code more often. Wish i could be more help but i am glad the code went away and I didn't have to figure it out
I got agrivated that it wouldn't connect to a 2022 ram without an extra cable. Haven't had a chance to try the cable yet. There are things out will do on my truck (like reductant heater test) that it will not do on others (2022 gmc) not sure if I'm not going into it right or if the truck has that feature locked out. For the most part it's done everything I've wanted it to do for my truck but i have not went extensively into it. I've met up with a few people that wanted to try out on their truck and see if it was right for them. I wouldn't mind that at all if we were close. I'm around the Florence Alabama area
I was told at the dealer on the first one i changed that if the autel wouldn't do it i could drive it to them and they could program it for me but take pictures of the numbers so they would have them for programming
That sucks if you didn't need the injector. When that happens to me I just remember the thousands I've saved doing work myself and I'm not in your league or even close. If you don't think it's the injector will you keep the old one for a spare or would it be a waste of time putting in an injector with almost 400,000 miles on it?
Hopefully it not just the harness like it usually is in l5p durajunk. I've replaced about 0 injectors and about 50+ harness connectors. Very rarely see failure on l5p except for harness and the dpf/cats melting.
I would really be curious to find other transporters mileage, make, years, and list of repairs. This information is golden when trying to decide on what truck to buy. I do not believe in Brand Loyalty, only the facts and C Farmer hides none of the facts.
Sorry about the wasted effort (being the connector instead of the injector), but it is a testament to the overall reliability of the platform. Yeah, those are some fragile connectors.
Hell, don't them injectors last forever ?? I am forever amazed at the American philosophy of never replace anything unless it breaks, preventative maintenance, hell what's that 😆
🤣 🤣 🤣. Guess i should change them every time i change the fuel filter? Tell me more better yet leave a link to your preventative maintenance videos 🤣 🤣 🤣

Good job at least you did get it fixed
Thank you!
I put a new pigtail and a new injector in but still ran bad and throwing same code. Will not programming it make it still run bad ?
What is that computer you are changing the programming on

Charles what scan reader do u recomend to get I new to purchase 1 thank u for ur time good work
I think the connector was good and was probably knocked loose when you were changing the injector. Good video.
That's a very good possibility!

Great video and man it looks hot out there 😂
Yes sir
Thanks for the video. Curious why you don’t grease the connectors with dielectric grease also? Might stop the problems 🤷♂️
Do you think a stabilant 22a would be more effective than a grease. Iv seen it used quite a bit in electrical convections.
Great Video!!
Thank you!
I bought the fleece connector and both wires are white . How do I know what’s positive / negative on the connector and on the truck?
Great video, thank you so much!
Usually it sticks open an melts a hole in the piston. That fucking tire step is clutch. Ordering one now
I'm planning on doing all 8 sometime soon just for that reason. Feel pretty fortunate I've not had more issues with the miles on the truck. Thank you for your comment
I did notice the black sut on the injector connectors so it could've went bad again.
I have a 2017 model. I have P0304, P0204, P026D. Do you believe it’s a injector or just start with a connector?
Hey Charlie have a P0205 code that came it’s the pig tail already did one what side and position is the number 5 injector
Position 5 is right beside /just foward of #7.passenger side second from the back (cab)
Looking for the GM repair harness connector part number.

Just did #4 and #1 injector , I have the same scan tool it’s not letting me put the flow rate numbers in on my 19 duramax

Which model of the Autel do you have?
it's the MK808-BT

Do you clean your injectors and if so with what and on what interval?
