So i replaced that injector today, it was the biggest pain in my ass. I tore it all down, replaced the injector and gaskets, then put it all back together. Then i went to pressure check the fuel system and it started puking fuel out of the number 4 injector. I had to pull it all apart again to find out that instead of seating the injectors in the fuel rail, then placing it down into the cylinder holes, I plugged the injectors into the cylinder holes then put the fuel rail on. When i did that it crushed every single O ring at the tops of the injectors, i had to find new O rings then do it all again. After all said and done, my truck has much more bottom end power. I'm doing an oil change tomorrow, then i will survey my oil every chance i get to see whether im still getting fuel in my oil.
