7.3 Injector Question

Just a question prior to me dropping $200+ on an injector/s. I have done some TS of my own and want to talk with some technically educated people to see if I am totally off base. I have a dead cylinder in my right bank (I hear a faint knocking sound). I believe it is the #5 because when I hold my laser thermometer to the exhaust manifold all cylinders progressively get hotter except #5 is 10 degrees cooler than #3. The engine light is not illuminated on the instrument pannel, however, I do believe that the only way for the light to come on is for the something electrical to be bad (wiring harness, etc.). I am also under the impression that there will not be a code to tell me that there is an injector not firing. Please let me know if I am completely wrong and if there is anything else I can do to TS this problem. Oh BTW, my fuel mileage has dropped from 15.5 to 12.3 since this has started (another reason it leads me to believe it is an injector/s problem). Thanks for any help possible. JYD
