No just make sure to replace the copper washer on all of them. It is easy to loosen up all of the injector lines and then move them out of the way to get to each injectors. Make sure all dirt and debri is clear of the injector hole so nothing false in and do not touch the needle on the new injectors.
Hope this helps, just take your time and make sure everything is clean.

You should also get new O rings on the injectors if the new ones don't come with replacements. Avoid bending the injector lines (steel lines) and make sure that if you have to remove the clamps on the steel lines that you put them back on.
Some Q-tips come in handy if you get a spec of grit in the injector connector.

The old seals typically just jamb on the end of the injector after its been torqued on, but there is no actual device to hold it in place before its installed. You can use a small dab of grease to stick the new washer onto the injector. Make sure you get the old copper seals out, and that the injector seat in the head is clean.

Might Be Worth a Pop Test
From the reading that I've done on this list it sounds to me like a pop off test is a good idea. There are many posts about new sets of injectors with one that was enough different from the rest to effect how the truck ran.
Might be worth a list search to get some more complete infomation.

Thanks! I've read the posts aboout the pop-off tests for new injectors. The injectors I have are remanned and from what I understand they should be ok in that respect. Thanks again.

RP27G8G, I am getting ready to put new injectors on mine. It is a 93 with 182k, and the injectors look to be original. I'm just curious how much of a difference you saw after installing new injectors. I am hoping for a significant improvement, as mine are apparently leaking pretty badly.
