Injector/Turbo replacement
Just took my 6.0L in for maintenance at an indepndant shop. It has 99K miles. I was told I have 2 bad injectors (poor performance on cold engine). Since it is still in waranty (barely)he suggested I replace the injectors now at a ford dealer. I also asked him about the turbo since I heard others have lots of failures with this. I have not had any problems and have my original still running. He said to try and have the dealer replace the turbo under warranty too, even though he could not find anything wrong with it. Does anyone recommend for or against replacing a turbo that has no apparant problems? I have heard horror stories about ford replacing turbos with remanufactered units, only to have them fail a few thousand miles down the road. Is this something I should mess with?

Somewhere here I read a post of the service instructions Ford uses for the 6.0 turbo. The first attempt is usually cleaning the turbo, as I recall. There was an upgrade to the turbo at the end of '05, so not sure when yours was built. The upgrade was extra machining done to prevent sticking vanes. If they'd upgrade you to that unit, it would be nice as there's been very few reports of vane problems on those trucks built after the changed turbo made it into production...
