I'd check armature clearance while you are in there. Anything less than .002 is a bad injector. If you can't afford new injectors you could get a armature shim pack to get you by. The down side is you could wear the injector beyond fixing

Lol! Thanks Aaron.
Thanks for the idea Mike. I will check clearances. It's not that I couldnt swing 1200 for Rosewood right now, but for a truck that MAYBE is gettin driven 1000 miles a year (use to haul wood and winter time 4wd to get to work 2 blocks away if needed) and just starting to build living quarters in my shop, I hate to spend it on this right now.

I checked armature clearances today. I'm at .0025, so I ain't doing anything with them for now. Fuel bowl/filter was clean, so not worried about orings either. I'm now guessing maybe these injectors have been worked on before. With 374k it's kinda hard to believe they haven't. I'm just putting the harnesses on and running with it.

With proper maintenance I have heard injectors going 400 k +

If your doing SD uvch's I would highly recommend the 50 cent mod. I just did the drivers side on mine, still have to do the passenger side though. It's much easier now than later lol. And at only 50 cents it probably the cheapest mod you'll ever do on the truck lol
