Injector replacement opinions
Ok, I got my truck checked at Ford and they say that I have #1 injector that is causing the stiction problem I have been experiencing. My question is, since I have a 2006 with 121K on the odo and have some stiction issues already, should I just replace the #1 or should I just do the four in that bank, or send all four to Warren Injectors to be gone thru? If it had been the easier side I would just do the one, but seeing as the passenger side is the PITA of the two, and I dont really want to do it more than once, what would you guys suggest.
thanks

When I was faced with the same decision, I did all four. Hoping that the labor would be a one time thing for a good long time. You're looking at an extra $750 if you get a good price on the injectors. But that's just an opinion, and if it had been a different day, I might have chosen differently.
But one think I am firm on, is nothing but Ford reman injectors.

IMO both sides are almost equally easy to change injectors, I can remove the passenger valve cover without taking out the inner fenderwell/splash shield,
if it was me I would just change the suspected one

I'm fairly firm on the Ford remans too, after having 2 bad ones out of 8 buying them from a rebuilder. Unless you REALLY trust Warren injectors, I would go to your friendly Ford dealer, let them bend you over on the price and walk away knowing you have the BEST remans you can get.

I agree you can change the passenger without removing inner fender. It takes me little over two hours without air tools and taking my time good luck

I wonder what the FTE discount would make Motorcraft injectors from Tousley cost. Does anyone know?
