service life of injectors is about 250,000 to 300,000 miles. according to Alliant Power.

I've got 255k on 7 of my original 8 (had one replaced at 200K miles) .

keep on truckin.

I have 300,000+ on my original injectors. I have always used an additive , About every 3 months I add a whole bottle of Power service (grey). Truck still runs fine. I also would like to know how hard it is to replace them though as I would like to upgrade mine. ps. I got 385,000 0n my 6.9's original injectors using the same regime
