When you are under the valve covers, go ahead and retorqe the injectors and rocker arms.

Don't buy a kit, just buy the parts you need. People package junk aftermarket stuff together so you have to buy it all. Stay with the OEM, and only replace what you need like they said.

Ok so here is a update i pulled the driver side valve cover off and connector did not seem loose but i am gonna try doing the 50 cent mod and see if it pays off. the harness itself looked in good shape but the dealership said there was a short can that be right if the mod doesnt work? or would it more likely be the IDM?

Pull the connectors apart and look at the pins. look very closely for burn marks. look at both plugs. outside the valve cover and inside the valve cover. also check to make sure all the injector connections are clips on securely.
Like Les said, good time to retorque the injectors and rockers.

If you need wiring harnesses or gaskets, go to the nearest International truck dealer and buy them there...same part as the Ford, only cheaper because it is not packaged in a plastic bag that has a blue oval on it (like, HALF the cost!).
Wiring harness -- Intl 1830844C93 (about $30)

I pulled the driver side again and check the harness fully and the gasket and everything looked perfect....I think I may replace them just to make sure but I am not quite certain yet. Any other suggestions
