The cost of replacing your injectors is going to be pretty steep. The best price I've heard of for injectors is $1000 per set, but that also includes a chip. Replacing the O-rings is time consuming, but mainly because getting the valve covers, intake, etc out of the way is a pain. The tool that you'll need, but might not have, is a torque wrench that reads in in/lbs.
After removing the valve covers, pull the two allen plugs at the top of the head. That will drain the HPOP on that bank of cylinders, and make life easier later. Disconnect the wiring harness from the injector and glow plug, and remove the oil diverter from the upper left corner of the injector. Then, remove the hold-down bolt from the bottom edge of the injector. At this point you'll need something to pry with, like a crowbar. Position the crowbar at the top of the injector, so you're prying up on the injector plate, and using the top edge of the head for leverage. This will extract the injector. Remove the glow plug. Remove the old O-rings from the injector, being careful not to scratch the injector itself. As you're installing the new O-rings on the injector, be careful not to stretch them any more than absolutely necessary, and keep everything saturated in motor oil. I keep a coffee can full of fresh oil next to me, and dip the injector into the oil, dip the O-ring into the oil, and slide the O-ring onto the injector. Once you've got all of the O-rings on the injector, let the injector sit idle for at least 15 minutes, to allow the O-rings to shrink back to their original size. (Stretching them slightly is necessary to get them on, but this step is important.) Suction out as much as possible from inside the combustion chamber. I needed to use some air line from an aquarium to get down the small holes in the head where the injector goes, so plan ahead in getting supplies for this step. It's important to get all the fluid out of the combustion chamber before reinstalling the injector and glow plug, so be careful with this step. When reinstalling an injector, make sure you've got the brass washer on the end of the injector, saturate the injector in motor oil, and install in the head. Torque the hold down bolt at the bottom edge of the injector to 110 in/lb.
Another way to get the fluid out of the cylinder, and it's entirely up to you, is to reinstall the injector, but leave the glow plug out for now. Once all the injectors for one head are installed, and all glow plugs are removed, place the valve cover back in place, holding it there with two or three bolts. Don't worry about the valve cover gasket, you're not going to start the engine, the valve cover is for catching the fluid inside the combustion chamber. Once the valve cover is in place, the injectors are in, and the glow plugs are out, VERY GENTLY bump the starter, similar to getting the distributor cam to the top of a lobe on a gasser. Repeat this bumping of the starter a number of times, until everything is exhausted from the cylinder. I can't stress enough how small these bumps of the starter need to be.
When I did mine, I went down the line replacing O-rings, and left the glow plugs out. Once all injectors were re-installed, I put the valve covers back on for the "bump" of the starter. The I went back in, re-installed the glow plugs, re-installed the allen plugs at the top of each head, and put everything back together. I'm real **** about things, and take longer than I probably need to, and the project was an all day event for me.
I hope this helps.

Not if you're doing the O-rings as preventive maintenance. If you're doing them because of an O-ring failure, I wouldn't drive the truck until it's done. If you had an O-ring fail, you'd be spewing white smoke like a freight train, and you'd definitely know about it.
If you need part numbers for the O-rings, let me know. Definitely buy them from an International dealer. They'll cost you about $9 per injector there, about twice that at Ford.
I can't post my email address, but if you want to call me, my cell number is 253-315-1222.

Fuel Injector Removal
Disconnect the battery ground cables.
WARNING: RED-STRIPED WIRE HARNESS CARRIES 115V DC. SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY BE RECEIVED. DO NOT PIERCE.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to service the fuel injector. The fuel injector is serviced as an assembly. If the fuel injector is disassembled for any reason, the calibration of the fuel injector will be inaccurate. There are two different fuel injectors used in the 7.3L DI turbo diesel engine: a 49-state injector and the California injector (rate shaped injector). These two injectors must not be interchanged because the Powertrain Control Modules are calibrated to the specific injector. Before replacing any injectors, refer to the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) decal for proper injector selection. Failure to do so can cause poor engine performance, high emissions levels or damage to engine.
Remove the engine cover.

The reason why I was going replace the orings was because im losing approxamitly two quarts of oil evey one thousand miles. There is no sign of oil anywhere underneath the engine or even on the ground where I park it. Like I said, it a 95 with 172000 miles on it. Last oil change I switched to rotella t synthetic 15w 40. And ever scince then I started seeing an oil lose. But Quadzilla, you said that if I lost an o ring I would be bellowing out white smoke, which I am not. Maybe a some light blue at start up but only for about 2 or 3 minutes. So now my question is where else could the oil be going? Could the motor just be burning it up? Two quarts evey thousand miles seems like an awful lot of oil.
thanks for the help, its really appreciated.

How did you get the service c/d text into your post? Mine won't let me copy/paste the text off the c/d.
You didn't retype all that did you?

There are three o-rings on the injectors, so you may not be losing oil straight into the combustion chamber, it may be getting into the fuel system.

As was stated earlier, the O-rings serve the purpose of keeping three different vital fluids separate: oil, coolant, and fuel. My experience has been in having the bottom ring fail, which dumps excessive fuel into the cylinder, which then goes out the exhaust pipe in the form of steam, which looks like white smoke. A good point has been made though. That isn't necessarily the one that might have failed on your truck. If the one separating the oil from the fuel were to fail, you could get oil into your fuel, and burn it off that way.
