help with diesel truck repair? i dont think they changed my fuel injectors?

[gladysd]

My husband paid 3000.00 dollars to change his fuel injectors and he thinks that they just cleaned them. He saids that there is a lot of dust on his engine cover and that the engine doesn't look like it's been touched. How can we know for sure? My husband has worked on cars since he was young but not on diesel engines. can someone give me some feed back please.

No mechanic will do work on a car and leave it in pristine condition. First of all, theres a few kinds of injectors. There tuned port injectors and a type of injector called valve body injector. Usually when you replace injectors, if they're new, ANY SHOP SHOULD HAVE YOUR OLD PARTS TO COMPARE AND/OR SHOW YOU THE WEAR AND CONDITION OF THESE PARTS. IF ...... you have a repair done on any vehicle, anywhere, any country, any time (which requires a replacement part), 98.9% of the mechanics that are good in the world will give you the part which was prepared as a comparison. LOL, they might even pick up something from the floor of the shop, but at least you're getting a used part as compared to the new part. Baby girl, if a mechanic doesn't take the time to explain to you HOW and WHY FIT FORM AND FUNCTION OF HIS JOB AND WHAT THE HELL HE'S GOING TO DO, FIND ANOTHER MECHANIC.

Lastly, if you have doubts and you're a woman and your husband is a man and they dealt with a man, YOU DEFINITELY DON'T WANT THESE JERKHOLES TO DO ANYTHING TO YOUR CAR. Again, move on, there are good mechanics out there. You've had questions in your mind about these mechanics for a long time and so did he. He shouldn't have went there and next time have him go online and get multiple opinions, multiple estimates on what it would take, HOW THEY WOULD DO THIS PARTICULAR JOB. If they give you any attititude at all, leave, quickly. Good luck. God Bless.
