I ran the cylinder test on mine and it was just basically a straight line so im assuming that's good, no dips or spikes.

Yes a straight line is good. At the bottom of the screen you can disable injectors, Do that on one and watch the graph, that will show you what a bad injector looks like.

I've been working on large diesels for a long time. I have always found the best way to do an injector cutout is when the engine is under load, it really lets the faulty injectors shine. I have used AE, strapped my truck to the large tree in my front yard, performed injector tests and found a faulty injector that has plagued three dealers and me for three weeks. Just an idea for you.

Yes when ford replaced my last 2 bad ones I talked with the tech and he said he runs it at idle, and then sets the parking brake and puts it in gear and presses the gas also.. He said that will do more than at idle alone
