Just a little FYI for you guys with the newer duramax trucks. This is a 2015 model with 40k miles. Getting a new injector pump. I did a little searching and it appears to be common. I was told parts and labor would be around $15,000. Not sure I believe that. Luckily for this guy, he is still under warranty.

Holy Moly! Ohhh what a feeling to drive....TOYOTA!

I'm sorry, but a manufacturer should be absolutely embarrassed to put a product on the road that requires a $15,000 repair....ESPECIALLY at that age/mileage.

I'm not sure I believe the dollar amount

At any rate, the thought of having to pull the body for a pump....ugh

maybe this is just me trying on a tinfoil hat, but I'm convinced manufacturers are intentionally making their vehicles as hard as possible for the average joe to work on himself, just so you're forced to take it to the dealership for more and more stuff.

^^^^ yep

I don't know if they are intentionally making it harder but they are definitely not putting any thought into making them easier to work on.

This is a common issue, the supply pump fails and starves the injector pump of fuel and the fuel lubricates the pump and it burns out.

Seems i read that ford did that to there 6.4 diesels. I thought i heard ford designed them that way as it was easiest to take the cab off and work on.

One of our employees Chevy Avalanche had the fuel pump to fail. It is inside the fuel tank under the rear seat on the driver side and the dealership requires the body to come off the frame to replace it. The cost was gonna be in the thousands. He took the seat out and cut the sheet metal directly above the access panel on the fuel tank, making a professional looking opening to get the pump out and a new one in. Then he cut a slightly oversize piece of sheet metal to cover and seal the opening after replacing the pump.

That price amount is no where near correct.

Regardless of whether the price is accurate or not, manufactures all seem to be making pure crap when it comes to producing a diesel product these days.

I have done similar on the evaporator core for my BMW. I
nstead of removing most the dash I cut the box and then epoxied piece back on when finished.
Haven't had a single issue.

My new Ram you have to take the front wheel and part of wheel well off to get to oil filter (I believe, never done it personally)

Heard the guys at Don Duncan's bitchin about it

Takes half a day to get an oil change now

Replaced the injector pump and fuel filter housing on my 2001 durmax and it was $3300, housing was $900, pump around $1500 and the rest was laobor

I think most of the diesel trucks it's actually easier for the guys to just lift the cab to work on the engines like that.

Price a secondary air injection for an 08 Tundra. Should be around $3500.00

Wait just a damn minute! Ain't no Toyota ever need no wrench turning! You just trying to start trouble
