Possible injector trouble

Does anyone know if any injector problems would be covered by warranty or do they consider this not part of the power train?
I have my 03 6L sounding like a 7.3, sometimes a CUMMINS on cold morning startups, but once warmed up it runs smooth. Has to be a bad injector, anyone have a idea?

injectors are under the 5/100000 warranty. it could also be the icp sensor leaking oil shorting out the readings.

I've had great success with it. I've done 4 in the past week, and it's been below freezing each morning when I've cold started them... all ran great.

Not to my knowledge. It only addresses the cold start issue. So far, I havent seen any downside. Now, before you run right down to get your cold start fix, remember, all the other "upgrades" will be included.

I'll have to run it down. We dont have it at our fingertips either. When one gets flashed, the message shown is "a later calibration is available, do you want to reprogram? yes or no?" After recalibration it has "IF REQUIRED, affix recalibration notification under hood" The only numbers shown is the part # for the pcm.
