I got the reman Full Force stock injectors. I really wanted single shot injectors, but I don't know how long I'm going to keep the truck, and I already had two "new" injectors with about 70k miles on them, so I figured I'd try the remans. I'm more than pleased with them so far. I have a DP with 80e and 60t. And the GP is Motorcraft.

The one glow plug was hard to get out huh.. If I were you I would go back in and replace the other 7. I know it's a lot of work but if the tips swell over time they won't come back out through the hole and you will have to pull the head to remove it.

This is good confirmation for me.
When I first read this thread, I thought "injector poppet" as well. My F250 has been running this way for about 4 years now, and it is indeed a light switch effect when the tired injector kicks in. Sometimes, in the winter, I have to extend my 9 minute drive to the office by about 2 minutes so I can make sure that it finally kicks in before I shut it down to sit all day in the parking lot.
I know what the issue is, but continue to drive in denial (laziness). I should go ahead and pull the covers to find culprit and replace it before this winter. I already know I need to replace both batteries, so I might as well hit it with an even smack to knock both issues in the head at once.
