I said if you have time you can put a new hose on, but re-route it so it won't happen again.
When I went back Thursday the bill was $900 and change. Remember that the injector is under warranty. He said he found a hole in the exaust manifold and had it welded, found a small water leak, replaced the hose, the KN filter was plugged from the bad injector blowing smoke. Anyway paid it and went on my way.
After sleeping on it, I started thinking man! that's was expensive for no more then what was done. So I called down and asked for the store manager and visited with him for a few minutes. He thought it sounded high and asked if he was to credit me back $400 would that be fair, I said yes.
I'm writing this to see if this is an isolated incendent or should we as "rich bus owners", beware. I would just think that they would call to see if you want these little things (that I enjoy fixing) done.
Any thoughts?
, I checked it again and sure enough it had diesel in the oil
. I got on the phone and called Detroit in Colby KS and he said that they must have cracked a fuel line when they put the new injector in. I had driven it 190 miles home after the repair was done. So I changed the oil and drove it back down to Colby so they could put in new lines on the #2 cylinder which had the new injector. It took 3 hours for the repair and we were on our way.
We made it to Phoenix and then just started home, not even out of the city and bame, the drivers window took a hit
