Which injector is the problem?????
How do I figure out which injector is giving me problems? Truck still runs like poo the first mile of the day. Already checked FICM Batteries and charging system all OK. I am thinking that When I do my next oil change in 1k I am going to try the Rev X just because its cheaper than even 1 injector but just incase how do I check them?
Thanks again guys

IDK of anyone that got those injector codes for SGII to work or the cylinder misfire count by cylinder to work I havent tried
IMO SGII falls Short of Injector Diagnostic
what Scotty says is the BEST and easyiest with the AE
Have you scanned for codes yet??????????? this may point one out
A Ballon test might work
Just cuz FICM Volts are Good doesnt mean you can rule it out that just means the Power Side of FICM is Good you still Have the Injector Driver Side in question
Does your Oil Smell Like Diesel Fuel by chance???????

I have scanned it for codes with both my scan gauge II and my super chips and no codes found... As far as oil I don't know and there is a lightning storm right now so I'll have to check that in the morning.

AE and IDS are the two easiest way to diagnose an injector issue. A balloon test would help point toward a leaking injector....you could unplug the injector. But without knowing what you mean by "poo" we're just shooting ideas in the dark.
Personal, I don't believe in snake oils...but if it works and the problem goes away; more power to you and good luck.

When I start the truck in the morning, no matter how warm it is outside it takes about a mile for it to get moving even with a 5 min warm up. Today it was 72 degrees out when I left the house and it spit and sputtered until it warmed up then it ran great. From what I have read it seems to be injector sticsion. I know that was not spelled right but you get the idea. The hardest thing is that I usually don't drive this truck much except to pull or haul with but I threw my back out at work and getting in and out of a car kills me so I have to drive the truck everywhere I go and as you can probably guess workmans comp does not give you alot of extra spending money for new injectors so I am just trying anything I can to make it through till I'm back to work. Already bought the scan gauge and checked FICM all is well there and voltages are good. Any other thoughts would be great.

I agree... without ae, you can try and unplug injectors after starting. The pass side isnt that bad, drivers side will give a bit more trouble to get to. If it was me, I would let er run a bit longer than 5 mins if shes runnin rough. The injectors before and after the problem one (firing order) are working harder to compensate for the bad one (if an injector is your issue). Just let it idle until it smooths out. If you try and unplug the injectors, remember that you dont have to remove the silver clips, just push them down towards the harness and disconnect the plug. good luck
