Fuel Injector Question
Hi everyone, I've used this site to research many repairs but never registered.
Anyhow, I had a question I hope to get some input on.
I am replacing the intake manifold on a 2004 Eddie Bauer 5.4 Expy, I have the new one installed and ready to proceed with the rest of the reassembly.
I installed new plugs and COPs and I am about to install the fuel rail/injectors and was wondering if it is better to replace them in a case like this?
The truck has 220,000 miles on it and they very well could be the original injectors.
I found a Bosch set on Ebay for $150-ish so just wondering if it is advisable to do so as preventative maint.
Thanks for any responses and for your time.

Fuel Injectors
Hi Tachycardia,
How did the install come out?
I removed mine,soaked them in berryman chemtool for a couple hours. Then I made some wire leads that i attached to the inectors 1 at a time. I refilled the injectors then connected the wire leads to a 12v battery and let them squirt it out. I then reloaded and repeated while pushing compressed air through them while powering the injectors. Finally I wire brushed the bottoms of the injectors to be sure the tiny holes were clean, then installed new o-rings top & bottom. Haven't finished putting it all back together yet but expect them to work like new.
