I firmly believe the fuel delivery and filtration systems are to blame for most injector failures, too much dirt being forced past the pintle at 27,000 PSI damages the pintle seat then the injector starts to leak. I have a 1 micron Cat primary filter with a 1 micron Donaldson secondary filter fed by twin Kennedy lift pumps. I have over 100,000 miles with no injector troubles. Good luck to ya.

I knew it wasn't that hard to swap injectors, but I didn't know there was a change made between the lb7 and the later duramaxs. It didn't take me but an hour or two to do mine so I was sitting here wondering what the heck I did lol.
