Crossed injector wire on 9960

[RCW]

Injectors are $1000 each!

Yikes again!

A buddy had to do injectors on his Ford pickup...holy smokes what they cost!

How old is your tractor? Does it still have emissions warranty? If so, I would find out if any of it is covered by warranty before deciding which way to go.

That's right - 5 years I think. Required by law.

M9960 made 2013-2016. Warranty would start on the date when sold new....

It's certainly a possibility.....good thought BAP.

By the sounds of the dealer, not sure they'd be thinking about or offering the possibility...

Injectors are $1000 each! New engine also comes with a new ECU And completely new fuel system. What condition is the rest of the tractor in?

The rest of the tractor is in good shape. In 2019 I put a all new ac system in it and all new tires. I know it has a lot of hours but besides the motor now it’s a clean tractor

Not that I have one (Tier 4 engine), because I don't, but I was under the understanding that when the DPF canister became full / plugged with burned soot, that the engine threw a warning light and derated (like JD's do).

So, I'm understanding it never derated and it never threw a code or light?

Sure am glad I don't own one.

Like I said, I know JD's derate and throw a code / light. My buddy down the road has a few.

Gee, every owner of a Tier 4 DPF equipped engine has that to look forward to. Not that most will be original owners but somewhere along the line, some owner will be on the hook.

No warning light or anything came on. It did run a little hotter than normal when under a load but I just thought it was because of it being so hot outside

My tractor is a 2012 so I would believe it’s pretty much all out of warranty

I have seen the DPF on v3800 engines plugged up so thoroughly that the engine couldn't run and never damaged the engine itself in any way. If the exhaust was exiting through the "blown" VC gasket it would have to be going past the pistons and rings.

Kubota9969: What did you decide to do?

Curious as well but I bet I know the answer... Rebuild the motor and a new DFP cannister and sensors.
