Hmmm...
and I have the c-94's and have had them since April of 03 and no problems after 32k+ hard miles...
maybe it's another variable ???
Couldn't be hard driving because I don't think ANYONE drives harder than me...
Well, maybe Choctaw Bob

I did buy the truck used.......lol....had 9 thousand on it.
New injectors list price is 280.00 I never pay list, IH always has lower prices and then the Deisel shop near me has good prices on new injectors.
I have the latest flash, since I didn't really care about the recall, I knew he would flash the computer, my Tech guy likes me....
....well he likes the truck.Now if you read Fords article, some engines up to May of 2003 will have the injectors. So the only real way to know is to put one in your hand.
I am not concerned, just wondered what others felt about the issue.
I love the 6.0 and this web site. I'll read more than post from now on, since I am a newbie.

I have an 04 6 liter with 11k on it. I started having intermittant episodes of power loss . Engine sounded like it was running on half the cylinders. Mechanic said it needed than oil change since I was at 6200 mi. Did that and the problem still persisted. Finally the compter trew 4 codes indicating 4 injectors have intermittantly failed. Now he will terst the fuel injector control module. He think this is the culprit. I mentioned chaffed wires, but he says he almost never sees that problem. I've got my fingers crossed. Anyone had this issue come up? Otherwise my truck is awesome with awesome towing power. Miliage sucks. Under 16 right now. Will that improve with time? Anyone?

The MPG will not be up if there is a problem...

No Start or Constant Engine Misfire:
There are several things that can cause this symptom, including a failed FICM (fuel injector control module). In cases where the FICM is at fault the condition should be present at all engine temperatures, and codes P0611 or U0105 may be set. If codes P2614 or P2617 are stored the cause is more likely to be a wiring chaffing issue. The harness will need to be pushed and pulled to determine if the harness is shorting out. WDS should be used to verify the injectors can be commanded on (injector buzz test) and that the FICM is powering up (datalogger PIDS FICM_VPWR: ignition power; FICM_LPWR: FICM logic power from relay; FICM_MPWR: FICM output power to injectors--47-50 volts). If an injector does not click during the buzz test, a test light can be installed between the injector connector terminals 1 and 2 and checked for illumination when re-running the test.

Wire Chafing Issues:
A variety of driveability issues can arise from chafing/shorting wiring, such as crank/no-start, stall, running rough, misfire, buck/jerk or lack of power. The most common location for this is the valve cover/cover bolts near the FICM or the intake manifold bolts where the harness routes under the air intake hose. The harness should be rerouted and any chafe points insulated with rubber vacuum caps. Other chafe problems can occur where the sensor harnesses route around the valve covers, thermostat housing, idler pulleys, glow plug relay bracket, and near the accelerator pedal assembly (adjustable pedals), and also near the PCM by the battery and near the relay box brackets at the left rear corner of the engine compartment.
