Thats a good point . If its a nozzle or broken spring ,he'll need to move it .. with the solenoid off , he can look at the poppet screw & clearance..

Don't worry Nate, when the time comes for injectors, Jim will get them! I've met Jim and he is a great guy!
I'm pretty sure I've found the problem. I think the #8 injector is bad. The other day with the VC off and engine running, it appeared to be putting out the same amount of oil as the other three. This evening, I pulled the VC back off and was unplugging the #6 and #8 injectors one at a time. The #8 injector made a difference when I unplugged it, but not as drastic of a difference as the other, then I noticed it was barely putting out any oil at all. I had to look real hard with a flashlight to see it barely running out of the spout. I've already pulled a couple injectors from the other truck, and I'm gonna put new o-rings on one and put it in and hope for the best.

No Rick I didn't. Changing that injector didn't make a difference anyway. The injector I took out was clearly not oiling hardly at all. The one I put in is oiling good, but it runs exactly like it did before. I can't find a torx/security bit to fit the soleniod screws. I've got some, just can't find them.
