injector advice please
I got my poor truck in the shop right now for the HPOP hoses. Had an oil leak so got it fixed the tech tells me I have an injector code on the number 5 start it up surges and runs like crap. She run fine when I tool it in too. Is 1100 to much for an injector and should I change em all ? And why did it happen suddenly like that?

If it ran fine when you went in, then it should run fine going out. By changing the HPOP hoses, the tech is going to introduce air into the oil rail, and it will probably run rough for the next 50 to 100 miles. A single injector should cost around $200 for the part, and no more than 1.5 hrs labor.
H may have also knocked the harness loose at the valve cover.

Sounds to me like you need to get that poor truck outta his shop. I wouldn't pay more than $500 for a new injector installed. Then again, I'd probably buy a good used one and swap it out myself.
FYI, $1375 for stage ones here
