No, really there is not. You unbolt what you need to get to them and you bolt back on what you take off, it's that simple. I do all my own work and then some. As far as the electric connections go, they will only plug back the same way.
So really there is not yet really there is.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/doh.gif "doh")
What does this simple task take, 20-30 minutes?![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif "scratchead")
The last time I looked under the hood of a Dmax or PSD, there was plenty to remove just to get to the injectors.

Need to learn how to do the work yourself. It's simple stuff. I just spent $1800 doing my FIL's '03 D-max and that was for all 8 with a 2 year warranty.
JUST THE INJECTORS are $400 EACH, and that's for the cheapest available ones! (Delcos are more.)

Not exactly. $1200 core charge if you don't ship them your old injectors within 30 days.
Yeah...I think I'll pass on getting injectors from "Fast Eddie's eBay Auto Supply". Wouldn't surprise me if they were the last dude's "cores", cleaned up and reboxed!

Really? This is silly. That's like saying that someone would have to pay someone to mow their yard because the have 3 acres to mow instead of a half acre. If you can remove 1 part you can remove a thousand bolts. The D-max that I did was the first one I have ever done and it took me right at 12 hours. That was taking my time and listening to a ball game and doing some stuff on and off for the DW. The biggest problem people have is they raise the hood and become overwhelmed at what they see. The air filter box on a '03 duramax is literally held in the truck with one (1) hose clamp.
I'm not saying people should tackle pulling the motor. I'm just stating that people could do more than they thing if they just tried a little bit. The PS 6.0 injector job is actually easier just mor stuff to take off.
Passenger side injectors on an 2003 duramax done and getting ready to start putting back together. Things that were removed: air filter box and tube, air tube to the inner cooler, fuel filter housing, FICM (fuel injection control module) 4 high pressure fuel lines, two piece valve cover.

They pay all shipping...... can't make it much easier than that.If you are not able to put the old injectors back in the box that they supply and peel a sticker and put on it that they supply then there is a problem. Oh, I forgot, you will have to take it to a store that ships UPS or call UPS to pick it up (for free)They can't do that for ya.

transamz9, You and I might tackle a set of injectors. I have the tooling as I am a mechanic of a different type of transportation. Most people don't have the benefit of being able to do much more than routine maintenance if even that. At +50 years old, I don't look forward to leaning over a fender for twelve hours. I would rather avoid the whole ordeal and endure 4k rpm on the uphills.

Well I will say that as a young man, and then youg farther I did much of my own maintenance and repairs to save money. Now days I do it for therapy, never try to rush a job, but have a almost 50 year collection of tool to go with it.
