Well fellas, I'm in a foul mood now. I think I have found the culprit on why my injectors went bad and I'm smoking like the engine is still cold!:doh::banghead::( I drained the fuel water seperator on my ad 165 and I have drained two 44 ounce fountain drink cups of slight fuel and lots of water!:banghead::banghead::banghead: So what do I do now?

:duh: ?? Where did you last fill up ? Got another car to go get some diesel ?? Id get a pump and drain as much fuel out of the tank into a fuel container. Then refill with fresh fuel. Bleed/prime and restart. thats a bummer dude - seriously:banghead:

Yea tell me about it! Just filled the dang thing up 35 gallons of water and slight diesel!!! I'm totally pissed about it!

If you have the receipt and its the last 48 hours I would make a video as you dump it. At least to get your $130 back at a minimum thats a big hassle man - assume the water in fuel cel didn't kick in ?

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a reman vp44 from a local supplier. Cost was just shy of a $1000.00:cry::cry::cry::cry: Decided that I would attempt to install this afternoon and after about 1.5 hrs, She's up running good again!!!:hyper::hyper::hyper:It was a costly job but not to bad doing it myself! I want to say thanks to all of y'all and espcially Micheal aka MoparMan! After a couple of conversations on the phone I found a few no no's I have been doing!:smart::smart::smart::smart:
