The truck is back together. Needed a waterpump, no big deal. Swapped an injector from the old motor to the new one. Have the old engine to play with at my leisure. Now, he won't let me have it back. Seems he has never seen and doesn't know anyone that has ever seen an injector fail as this one did. I agree with him. Keep it til you get it worked out. The possible player is fuel starvation. No fuel to backfill the injector between firings and the high pressure piston that forces the fuel into the cylinder hit dry. This caused the little bitty piston inside the injector to bottom out on the cylinder end and break it. Catastrophy. Doesn't want the problem to be a $100 fuel pump and destroy another $3000 engine. I can support that view. He did agree that the tuner was not the issue. Knows several guys that boost to near +200 horses and flog the dog doo out of their trucks all day long and no failures like this. More as it comes.
