2. is there a test to find out if you have leaky inj drippy inj or bad spray.
3 Do you recommend rebuild a diy HERE (http://www.diy-injectors.com/) or getting new inj.

Injector are best left to the pro's. I went the DIY route on my first set of hybrids, and it was not hard at all to take them apart and "rebuild them", the instructions were clear and easy to understand. But afterward you have no way to verify flow, or balance between them. FWIW I would spend an extra $200 and have them professionally done.

I have worked on these trucks for years, injectors are something i leave to people that know what they are doing(not saying you dont).The only person i let do any injectors I have is ryan at full force diesel...He is the man.I have never had any issues with injectors that i send to him..Customer service is top notch with him..Give him a call you will not be disapointed.Dave is right, you want these things flowed and balanced.

Just sent my Injectors to Rosewood Diesel for stage two's.:evillol: There is no need for a core charge if you can have your truck down while they rebuild your injectors. They will only replace the parts that are needed. (with your permission) Removing and re-installing the injectors is not that difficult for the average DIY kind of guy.You can get instructions from Beans Diesel Performance. (Excellent instructions)

Rosewood Diesel: there price is right, service is excellent and all are flow tested before they leave there shop. I have heard great response from there customers on other forums.

Do a buzz test and cylinder contribution test first.

How do I do that? Is that a pop test to make sure cylinders are firing?

Do a buzz test and cylinder contribution test first.

Beware, this test will only prove that the injector solenoid and injector wiring is OK. It will not show if the injector is mechanically sound.

True but will help you know if you will need a solinoid when doing a rebuild.
