Cup Question - Ignore this thread
When did you change your injector CUPS? Even if it was only one, what was your approximate mileage for the first cup failure?
NOTE: Due to input and further consideration, let's CLOSE this poll and go the the one title "Injector Cup Replacement - POLL" >>> https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ment-poll.html

Stemming from **** question, location so it can be compared(weather), original owner(maybe used as hotshot/car hauler)..etc. Reason being, my l99 soent about 6mon when new, in Az. The rest has been so cal. My 02 was an Az lifer until last christmas and has a 5er hitch..(resealed hpop thus far), (nothing for l99)...just spitballing/comparing Pete but neither has cup replacement

323k on the '01....has the cups from the factory yet.
I had a '96.....had the original cups when I sold it with 280k
Now injector o-rings....different story. About 150k on both.

Another "never". At least on anything I personally own[ed].
283K, 264K, 190K, and I didn't replace them in the 95K-mile heads during the last rebuild for the Crown Vic.
The 2000 has 283K on it and I've had 4 sets of injectors in it. Original cups. I got it at 196K.
The 1995 (264K) had 3 remans in it when I got it (the rest were original) and I installed a full set of reman AAs in it a few weeks ago. Original cups. I got it at 110K.
The engine in the 1973 has 190K on the original cups and injectors. I bought the donor at 181K but know the original owner.
The Crown Vic cups are now at 100K miles. The engine those heads came off of was used hard and abused....but it had an AIS filter so the valve seats were like new.
I've done five or six sets for other people. Then again, after owning many 7.3L Powerstrokes for many years and hundreds of thousands of miles, I've never had a cam sensor failure either.
We have 9 7.3L pickups where I work. They are all 180K-240K miles and again, no cups or cam sensors. Glow plug relays, oil cooler o-rings, and fuel bowl heaters are about it.

Never for me as well. I hope, with the right coolant and the good maintenance the truck has seen, it'll continue to be a non-issue. 285k miles.
Also, 40k miles as of this week on my "done by me" clutch job....hope it holds!!!!

We're getting too many variables to track without a nesting of multiple polls. I don;t have the time at the moment, but will mull over how to configure the polls. It would be a good exercise and could offer some fascinating information, but I'm not sure how much any of us will actually benefit from digging too deeply.
I thought of including "never", but that doesn't include a mileage statement. "Never " with only 100K miles does not carry the same value as "never" with >400K miles. I think I can close the gap with a second poll asking just "never" or "yes", and I'll start that one now as well. I am also in the "never" group and am currently at 304K miles.
