So if you've been following along I recently had a black fuel filter, I figure rather than roll the dice on just external o-rings, and since even just that is a crap load of work just to tear into it that much... And also because I gelled up and limped a few miles down the highway to a stop I would feel better about having my injectors refreshed and gone thru by someone that knows what they are looking at. So I've started my list of while I'm there items
What else am I missing on wear items to change while pulling injectors?
Already confirmed with rebuilder they come back with all new orings and copper crush washers.
Had an email or two with GH about their limited tunes (3 actual tunes, 3 I'd call settings) even available for the TS6 with single shots, they only have "street" for singles vs 2 types of 'street" tunes for splits, which sucks because my setup currently likes towing our 5th wheel in both streets, as well as 1 and 3, and I have no use for their Extreme tune that comes on both injector versions
Once everything is in I hope to be ready to dive in head first in just 27 days from this morning. I'll be starting a thread for that adventure soon. Just wanted to get ideas on what else to get on hand beforehand from the regulars on here
- Reseal the original oil cooler orings; Clay already delivered
- Fresh oil; already received my 5g pail of triax sideways in a box...
- ELC; to flush out the last of my, cough cough, factory fill of coolant... Yet to be picked up locally
- All new cooling system hoses; yet to be picked up/ordered, next day off, already have the updated upper Gates hose in hand
- Glow plugs from Clay
- All new boost boots from Clay with the glow plug order to replace my aging originals
- Finally replace my original HPOP hoses with the CNC fab ones I got last summer
- New fuel filter, also with next RiffRaff order
- Send in TS6 to GH for 160 single shot tunes
- Debating pulling IDM to send in to have gone thru and maybe HF/HV mod done for peace of mind while it's all down
- Finally drain and refill the rear diff, with lube locker gasket that's been sitting next to Mobil gear oil for a year
- All 16 new injector hold down bolts; ordered 1 each from Clay already, going to see if my Highschool friend at Fastenel can find an exact match but in 12.9 grade vs 10.9 has a max torque value of 133in#; would feel better with a higher torque value on them since I go fo a wee bit higher than stock 120in#

- at least rebuild filter drain valve if not full filter rebuild
- billet t-stat housing and new Motorcraft t-stat.
- remove clamps from fuel lines in valley
- AIH delete plug
- billet compressor wheel, up-pipes, etc (maybe already done?)
- I like to remove the water pump outlet to R&R the oil cooler. Good plan to have an o-ring for that
- add a 3/4” PEX barbed ball valve to heater core supply? Need a CoolShot? (I have a few left from bulk order last year)
- $0.52 mod
- I didn’t see any PAINT on the list!!??

- RDP plenum inserts and upgrade those (4) clamps.
Done long ago
- at least rebuild filter drain valve if not full filter rebuild
Done with flourosilicone o-rings
- billet t-stat housing and new Motorcraft t-stat.
On shelf
- remove clamps from fuel lines in valley
I insulated it years ago
- AIH delete delete
Running my water meth kit thru that
- billet compressor wheel, up-pipes, etc (maybe already done?)
That was my introductory drug to PMS
- I like to remove the water pump outlet to R&R the oil cooler. Good plan to have an o-ring for that
Will have to look into that
- add a 3/4” PEX barbed ball valve to heater core supply?
Will transfer mine to the new hose
Need a CoolShot? (I have a few left from bulk order last year)
Not a bad idea, thought all were sold off
- $0.52 mod
Since I did it years ago would inflation make it a $1.70 mod?
- I didn’t see any PAINT on the list!!??
That was done years ago too

You and I have texted about this many times and you know my further suggestions or ideas. Jason has mentioned a few below, which I know you have covered in method or in reality. I am looking forward to your thoughts on the injectors of your choice and feel that your thoughts will be a big factor for what I end up choosing. You and I have a lot in common, including the use of our trucks.
I wish you the best of luck sir and apologize for not being there in person to help.
That is what I figured, but didn't want to assume I was on target. Thanks for sharing the story with us Dan.

@SDElwood How long is your GN? I’m heading out to Fayetteville next week to buy a new one. I keep going back and forth between a 24' or a 26’. He’s got a 30’ with a 20K GVWR that he says he’ll make me a killer deal on but 30’ makes getting in and out of places a potential issue.

Good day to everyone!
Still waiting on generator plumbing parts to be delivered by USPS. They are somewhere between my home and ATL, which is 2 hours south. But, they have been there for a week. I have other things to keep me busy, but I am looking forward to finishing the generator conversion.
@SDElwood was your journey a good one and you returned with more than you left with, or did you have to pass?

My new concealed carry permit arrived in the mail today, good day!
$30 and 5 minutes at the county probate office and done!
Also transferred older whole house generator gasoline to the riding lawn mower. Put more insulation up in the basement joists and now it is beer and chilling out time.
