Hey guys, newbie here, how's everyone? I'm looking for some help before I start piling some dough into the Duramax, she idles likes bitch at stop lights and some like a chimney, but all good in neutral and park, I've researched for hours and people are saying mixed results of EPR and injectors, I have not had a scan be doing the scan on Friday, has anyone ran into this problem?

Thanks, and yes it does fluctuate up and down, I also should mention that you can smell raw diesel a lot, another question instead of replacing oem FPR has anyone deleted this? Just spoke wih a local diesel performance shop and there is a part made by ppe that eliminates the low side, and is only 40 bucks?

You have one or more injectors sticking. Have someone with a scan tool check your balance rates.

Thoughts from you guys please!

so I replaced all 8 injectors now, I had a bad injector out of the box reading +15, got another one and still rough, sent it into GM dealer came back with balance rates as follows:
cylinder 1 (-2.5)
cylinder 2 (-4.6)
cylinder 3 (5.2)
cylinder 4 (-3.2)
cylinder 5 (-0.6)
cylinder 6 (-0.2)
cylinder 7 (1.4)
cylinder 8 (-1.2)

so cyl 3 is bad of course, I am worried about cyl 2 and possibly 4, these were GB remans and I would not reccommend them at all, any one else have a problem with these?
