1997 F350 Crew Cab People ask me what i do for a living, I simply tell them ''I AM CRISIS MANAGEMENT COUNSELOR SPECIALIZING IN THE HVAC FIELD''
Mine seems to have lost a bit of power and I have a bit of a knock as well. Can these o-rings be replaced? I can't afford new injectors right now.sounds like a inj o ring failed
Can injectors be checked in the truck or do they need to be pulled? Am I in La La Land thinking my injectors are any good at 320,000+ miles?

Is there a way to test to see what injector it is or do you change them all?
You would usually re o ring all of them. If your going to pull the valve cover to do 1 you might as well do all 4 then all 4 on the other side. If your over 200K miles I would get them rebuilt or upgraded to stage 1's or 2's ect... I had new o rings put on my 95 at 200K and it deffinatly helped but looking back stage 1's would've cost $1000 at the time since the engine was out but now if I want to put stage 1's in I'm looking in the $1800 range. If you go to Bud at OC diesel he'll run a buzz and contribution test on them.
