how do you know? if an injector is bad CPU will throw a code. and injector will seldom wear out. they can get dirty but if that is the case you got bigger problems. to clean an injector you need to check and see if there's dirt in gas tank and if clean just remove injector and blow with compressed air.

most people overlook the airfilter - replace it every 3 months.

I had some tell me that my injectors should be replaced that the way my truck is acting. I have to start it at least 10 min befor i have any power to move. sometimes it idles like it has a cam in it some tomes not but once its warm it will lay aposi patch across the intersection and run like a raped ape. and it will get me 21 to 22 mpg. when I hook up my camper it will drop to 19 mpg. just running out of ideas

Perhaps if you shared with us what motor you have, we'd have a better idea of what bad injector symptoms might be, or what else to check before dumping money on injectors.

Might want to ask the fellows further down the main forum listing in the 6.0 diesel section then. The 6.0 has been known to have some stiction issues in the injectors. Some have had luck with products like hotshotsecret, others have not. When you say a little turn up on it, do you mean a programmer? If so, be sure to include specifics when you ask them, including any supporting mods like gauges, exhaust, studs, etc.
