Fuel Injector Replacement

[Jorge]

Injectors have nothing to do with the head gasket. I would seek clarification on that.

If the computer informed the dealer that the injectors went bad, why would the dealer need to replace the head gasket? Just curious as to what they are going to tell me.

That's like saying your pinion seal is bad and them replacing the radiator - they are entirely unrelated.

They wouldn’t. They’re unrelated.

Thank you all who chimed in. To give you an update, I picked up the truck. They did not replace the head gasket, what they replaced was the valve cover gasket when they replaced the injectors. Driving it home after picking it up, turns out now the transmission is slamming / banging when I brake. It slams downshifting from 6 gear to 5th. Drove back to the dealer. Hopefully it's a computer issue, I had the transmission overhauled last year at the dealer. So glad I got the extended warranty.

I would still change them plugs too. Easy swap and probably due.
I would reset the adaptive learning and drive it and let it relearn.
Or just your truck telling you it needs some @GooseTuned.

Definitely change out them plugs. Less than a 6 pack worth of work.

The only gaskets that should be involved are the 6 manifold gaskets where the manifold mates to the heads. Even those probably don’t need to be replaced unless your truck has 100k+ miles. Mine still looked brand new at 30k.

So the injector replacement fixed your misfire issue? I’m still having misfire similar to how yours started even after replacing the coil and all plugs with a gap of 0.028. I am hoping it is the injectors and nothing more serious

Yes, the injectors was the cause of the misfire and all is well now.
