I will probably clean that also.
Update:
Since it won't start today I ran home took the valve cover off and 2 injectors are not spitting oil.
So now what time to pull all injectors and send them in to get rebuilt or what else can I do.

If they start spitting oil after it warms up, then yes, it's time for new or rebuilt injectors.
You could also try some of the rev x or hot shot secret, but the results seem better suited for the 6.0 injectors and don't have much luck on the 7.3.
If you go with rebuilt injectors, go with one of the reputable dealers that are recommended here. Stay away from places like Pensacola diesel who have great prices, but a long history of poor results.
And most of the rebuild guys will sell you rebuilt injectors and let you return your old injectors as cores so you're not down the time of sending yours in and waiting.

Jim at Rosewood is good. No problems with him.
I can't say you're dead set on needing injectors, but as you can tell from my posts, that's what it sounded like to me from the beginning.
I would recommend you starting the truck and letting it warm up to watch and see if the injectors not spitting oil start spitting oil and that coincides with the truck running better. That's a pretty reliable indicator of bad injectors.
You can also call Jim and get his input, or send him a PM on this forum since he participates here at FTE. Jim will have injectors on the shelf he can ship you and allow you to send yours in as cores after the swap.
