Low voltage #1 injector

While driving the family in my 06 F 250 PSD from Kansas City to southern OK. The truck started shaking and shimmying while in cruse control at about 2250 RPM. Stopped at an auto parts store and ran a scan tool and found a low voltage #1 injector code. Drove on to OK.
I had my FICM done by Ed at FICM repair.com 2 years ago, 40 Atlas tune.
First thing I did was check the FICM and it checked out good!
So I think it may be a bad injector!
Any opinions would be appreciated
Mike

Bad injector coil or harness chafing.

Look at the harness where it connects to the injector and follow it to the FICM. Look for any signs of chaffing. If not, get an injector. You can ohm the injector to see how it looks.

Is it very difficult to install an injector?

It isn't terrible. Not knowing your level of skill makes it hard to say.

Need to pull the valve cover and oil rail. There are a lot of good videos on youtube with how-to's. Most mechanically inclined people can do it.

Is there anything I should try once i've established that the coil and harness are OK? Additives Etc... Before i jump into a new injector. Or are these things just a waste of money?

Being in Kansas City swing on down to Grain Valley and visit Super Duty Service and ask for Anthony or Julie. They will help you.

Just a diagnosis, or did the injectors get swapped out already?
