Injectors
Need help!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in the process of replacing all (8) of my injectors. Problem started when I was hooked up to our camper and pulling up a slight incline I lost power. Going from 60 down to 15 within 1/2 mile. dealer replaced 1 injector and said that I was good to go. Not hooked up again with the same problem. What would cause the injectors to go?

If you have a 6.0 I would imagine that you may have a multitude of issues that could cause injector failure. A FICM failure, fuel starvation, or internal leak could cause this. A shorted wiring harness can also cause erratic missing. Better get it to a competent repair shop. You can't throw parts at a 6.0 to fix it unless you want to spend megabucks.

If you are dealing with a tech that does not have an IDS you may want to find a new one. In order to do diag correctly you have to have one. You may want to also take a fuel pressure reading. Like I said. You cannot through parts at a 6.0 and expect success. It appears you already bought a fuel pump for nothing.

At this point it would be worth a C note or two to have a real Ford diesel mechanic do your diagnostics. Fuel press, ficm and a few other items can take out inj. If the ficm is bad that could also be the sole problem. Get the right people on the job. Expensive up front but cheaper in the long run.
