Message: [QUOTE="firehunter, post: 1090782, member: 1162"] Well, all of you are correct. Pulled the PS valve cover and found the hold down bolt for #5 "loose". Not finger loose but definitely not to full torque either. It is the hold down bolt that is right up against the heater box so I am guessing that is why I didn't get it tight enough. My bad. The end result is as Tim said, burnt black o-ring where the orange one should be. I spent quite a bit of time this morning with a mirror and flashlight looking and cleaning the cup and only was able to find and remove a small portion of the copper washer. I "assume" the rest was melted/burnt/consumed or otherwise "gone"? Use a little oven cleaner on the bottom of the injector, re-ring it, install it and be good to go? I hope? Thanks all. Turns out this event was just the beginning of a terrible trip that I wish I had not taken. The good news is that the wife's 7.3 was able to finish the trip (2,000 miles) without issue - at least I got her truck right! [/QUOTE]
