11870 +/- I just had a fuel pump start going out about 3 weeks ago. I didn't have a fuel gauge to monitor and I lost #1 injector. I have a gauge now. I'm Hoping it didn't hurt any more.It runs smooth at idle and speed. New filters and oil change with Hot Shot.

Im going to get FORSCAN and run a cylinder contribution test soon to see if an injector or two are out of balance with the others

HP junkie- most made it to 230k
TxMav- two made it to 140k, the rest are still going at 209k
ToolmakerRob- still going at 270k
Visurveyor- 1 replaced at 110k, rest still going
Jmaskew- still going at 267,500
Kemicalburns- still going at 154k
LOOnatic- still going at 195k
hink10- replaced at 240k preventively

Side-bar, does the free version of ForScan allow this? I had gotten ForSCAN and the Wifi Adapter for my Ecoboost and didn't know it did 6.0 things too. That's awesome if it does as I was looking at getting IDS or a clone.

It won't do a full contribution test but it will pickup contribution/balance codes thrown by a 6.0. I had a bad injector from a pump going bad and it showed a contribution/balance code for that cylinder.

Thanks to all for the replies, and huge thanks to Jack for creating the chart!
And I’m starting to feel a little better that my injectors won’t crap out on me before summer
