I need help with some fuel system upgrades

I just need to know what kind of a job it is to replace the fuel pressure sensor on these v10s. Mine is a 2002 in a Superduty. I see it is waaaay in the back of the engine behind the intake. I dont need to take the whole intake assembly off to change the FPS do I? My truck has 138000 + miles on it, and I want to replace that.
I also want to know how complicated it is to change the injectors on these engines. These parts arent really giving me any trouble (yet) but In my opinion they have enough mileage on them to be replaced. I dont need any fancy aftermarket performance inhancers. I dont need that stuff. I do need my truck and engine to last at least another 60,000 (or more) miles or so. As far as I know the FPS and the injectors have been in the engine since the truck was built in Oct of 2001.
I had a 2000 SD 4x4 with the 5.4 liter, that had 180,000 on it when i traded it in for this truck. So the goal for this 6.8 liter is 180000 or more. Thanks for your input.

Neither one of the items will probably EVER give you an issue. At 138k I'd be checking on the transmission, 4r100 is a known problem when worked hard without the proper maintenance and upgrades. I'd also be more worried about plugs, COP boots, cleaning the throttle body, and changing the fuel filter.

And I have no knowledge on the injectors or FPS on the v10 either.
