Yes, pretty much all stock, I don't have any upgrades at all... Except for the replacement of failing parts...some people said I should "bullet proof" the engine, I don't even know why they name it like that some body explained to me an basically is rebuilding the engine... I asked the dealer about this and they don't have a solid answer on this they just tell me the engine is fine......

Hello Ben, and welcome to the forum. We are glad to have you as a member!

Impressive with racking up the mileage in 2 years!

First off, I wouldn't worry about the "bullet proofing" aspect yet. Many of these trucks are running out there with out deleted or major enhancements that are non stock. Also, the term "bullet proofing" is a loose one as it means many different things to different people. In fact I don't even like hearing it anymore cause of how different it is to everybody.

Anyways, we need numbers from a live data scanner. This is going to begin to help with trying to pinpoint a problem if there is one.

Oh, and you should have a live data scanner anyways, to help keep the health of your truck optimal.

Also, what was the reasons for the injectors being replaced?

314k, eh? impressive and encouraging!
You need to get live data before anyone here can be of much help.
there are several options for monitoring. This is the cheapest and can be done for as little as 25 bucks...
