How often do you use Duramax injector cleaner?
Once a year I add a whole gallon of injector cleaner to 1/4 tank of fuel. That and when I change the fuel filter I fill the new filter with straight injector cleaner. Is that ever run as a preventative measure?
Why are my Duramax injectors getting worn out?
