07 6.0 miss

Ok, driving home today my 6.0 started to miss on one cylinder. You notice it most idling in gear and at steady highway speed it kinda shakes the truck like an out of balance tire. No warning lights on the dash, no smoke, but down on power. Im thinking a bad injector but would like other opinions. If it is injector, what brand should I replace with, Ford OE or aftermarket?

you may still have warranty if your 5/100 is still in date and time. oem injector is the way to go.

136000 miles. Does this sound like a bad injector, or something else?

Thanks

No codes showing, but now my simple dead cylinder has turned into a gradual loss of power until it actually stalls out. Restarts after a couple minutes. I guess a simple bad injector is out.

Found a local mechanic with a Snap-on scan tool. #3 and #5 injectors bad. So now, who best to buy injectors from?

Cheezit is right on the Money Here Get them from FORD

Its been Hit-N-Mis on getting a Good Injector from an After Market Retailer

ODDS are WAY WAY SLIMMER to get a Bad Injector from Ford Guys have had the Best success OEM

Its not a Part you want to keep having to go back in to change
