Update..
they claimed CPS was good. They said the codes were infact from low batteries...now back to the fun. I still don't think they did a pressure test, the tech just had a hunch and starting pulling injectors, supposedly before he did that though they did get it to start with a lot of cranking...I'm wondering if they didn't bleed the air out good after HPOP install, but they still went on and pulled injectors. Supposedly, they found a metal shaving in the #1 injector oring that had slit it.....but at the same time, they pulled valve covers pre-new HPOP and cranked and said nothing was squirting out from any of them?? Truck has not started since new HPOP....they were still working on it last night. That's all for now I'll be back when I hear more!

well, that's a possibility.. if he didn't take the quick-lock apart and unscrewed the fittings...
and if he ripped all the injectors out of it, it sure has air in the rails now..

Well the shop finally got through with my dad, 2500 dollars
later his truck runs, but he said it still didn't run like
it was supposed to and shuddering, just wanted to get it
away from this shop(I'll get to that in a min.) Supposedly,
they just starting pulling injectors and found a piece of
metal that pierced an o-ring, and supposedly found #1
injector to be bad. They replaced all o-rings. Now for the
still running like crap/shuddering....dad drove it home and
had my brother look at it, pulled both valve covers etc,
checked all wiring & injectors working good except #4,
found the #4 injector unplugged! Also, the intake tube that
hooks up to the turbo now has a huge crack in it(about to
fall apart, was not like this before brought into shop). So
there you have it....HPOP(that it most likely didn't need),
injector o-rings, and 1 new injector it's running
again....after fixing wiring that was left loose. Hope this
helps somebody in the future!

What shop? I live in Franklin TN and if I need to get to a shop I don't want to go to that one.

The shop is in Pennsylvania....nowhere around here! I don't want to give out the name because they are being brought to court about the situation. If you need help with yours just give me a holler, I'm not a 100% expert on these but I know enough to get by and have knowledge to do the work...I'm an auto technician by trade. If there's something I don't know I have access to here of course(some of the folks on here are real sharp), Mitchell&Identifix at work, and I'm a member of IATN so we should be able to get it figured out one way! And I'm sure you saw on my profile there I'm in Ashland City so I'm not all that far away at all, I work in South Nashville so Franklin is only a hop skip and a jump away!
