Replace injectors vs just o-rings and return line

Hey all,

The truck I've been looking at, and will probably end up picking up next week has what "appears" to be 115,000 miles on it. the two rear injectors on the passenger side are leaking on the part that has the o-rings in it. Should I freak out and just replace the injectors and pump or should I just get one of the injector install kits for like $30 and replace the o-rings? I don't want to replace the o-rings and have the pump go out on me. It does seem to run just fine though.

Thanks!

at 115k the pump and injectors still have around 20-30k miles life left in them. i would just do a return kit. this will give you time to figure out what all you want to do to it down the road.
