This is what I think of Click and Clack's advise. That is the first time I've heard someone with a 123 call in. And they got bad advise. They were too quick to say bad compression or a blown head gasket. Anti-gel should cause either one of those things to happen. I too put my money on a bad injector.

I'm a lib'rul and I own nine diesels including my JD 855.
Not a "stir the pot type" but I just couldn't resist on this one.

I missed the show this weekend but I usually try to listen to it on Monday at work. The "Tappet Brothers" are good mechanics but they are also trying to make snap diagnoses over the phone to mostly clueless (mechanically) people. What kind of accuracy do you expect.

Good entertainment for the most part though. Except for the incessant snorting laughter by which brother I can never remember.

I don't believe the two are mutually exclusive.
