WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect fuel injector : 
    • Look for burrs on injector inlet.
    • Check nozzle holes for hole erosion or plugging.
    • Inspect end of nozzle for burrs or rough machine marks.
    • Look for cracks at nozzle end.
    • If any of these conditions occur, replace injector.
  2. Inspect high-pressure fuel injector connector for : 
    • Damaged tip.
    • Loose or missing alignment pin.
    • Cut or missing O-ring.
  3. Thoroughly clean fuel injector cylinder head bore. Blow out bore hole with compressed air.

  4. The bottom of fuel injector is sealed to cylinder head bore with a copper sealing washer (shim) (1) of a certain thickness. A new shim (1) with correct thickness must always be re-installed after removing injector. Measure thickness of injector shim (1). Shim Thickness: 1.5 mm (.060") 
  5. Install NEW  shim (1) (washer) to bottom of injector. Apply light coating of clean engine oil to washer. This will keep washer in place during installation.
  6. Install NEW  O-ring to fuel injector. Apply small amount of clean engine oil to O-ring and injector bore.

  8. Tightening Sequence:
    • Install fuel injector hold-down clamp (mounting flange) bolts. Be sure the clamp is perpendicular to the injector body. Do a preliminary tightening of these bolts to 5 N.m (44 in. lbs.). This preliminary tightening insures the fuel injector is seated and centered. 
    • After tightening, relieve bolt torque, but leave both bolts threaded in place.
    • Install the fuel injector connector (14) and fuel injector connector nut (13). Do a preliminary tightening of nut (12) to 15 N.m (11 ft. lbs.).
    • Alternately tighten injector hold-down bolts to 8 N.m (71 in. lbs.).
    • Do a final tightening of the fuel injector connector nut (13). Tighten to 55 N.m (41 ft. lbs.).
  9. Install the fuel tubes. Refer to TUBE(S), FUEL, INSTALLATION .
