Number 5 injector failed according to computer. I ordered the fuel injector assembly from Rock auto, I ordered the entire part that included all of the injectors and the regulator. The mechanic put it on my truck and put it all back together, but when he started it to see if it was going to run good he said it started pouring gas. After calling the Chevrolet dealership he found out that on the 2006 4.3 liter motor has no return line from the injector assembly regulator to the gas tank, on some but not all of 2006 trucks. Well I could not send it back because It had been installed and gas had run through it so he had to take the injectors out of the new assembly and put it in the new assembly and he said it was very had. The mechanic did get it done and it is running as good as new. |

Rusted fuel lines; replaced with new, one piece GM lines. I'd compare the level of frustration with this installation to that of ball joints -- it was rough. In hindsight, I'd go with the aftermarket split lines if I ever have to do it again. Water pump leaking at rear seal. Replaced o-ring. Also replaced thermostat, tank cap, and A/C belt (cracked/split; appeared original). It was taking too long -- IMO -- for the cab to heat up, so the thermostat may have been failing. |

Water pump had been leaking from around mounting surfaces for a long time and kept leaking worse as time went on. Replaced water pump and gaskets with new replacements. Also the drivers side tank of the radiator was cracked and leaking. (Don't you just love that plastic junk?) I took the radiator to a repair shop and they installed a new tank to replace the cracked one. They also rodded out the radiator and I re-installed it and have had no leaks or problems since. Replaced the belt tensioner as it's bearings were noisy. Replaced the surpentine belt idler as it's bearings were noisy. The driver's side reservoir of the radiator (which is made of plastic) developed a small crack and was leakin. A local radiator repair shop removed the old reservoir and installed a new one and rodded it out too for $85. & 1 year warranty. |
