Thought I might dig this one back up. Had one come in with a terrible knock and ridiculous amounts of black smoke. After finding the injector that was the issue and verifying it still had compression (guy drove it quite a ways like this) I decided it was this trucks turn do get a set of injectors.
I spent the past few hours pulling down the passenger side I got to the #5 injector and guess what - the sleeve popped out. I was amazed how easily the injector popped loose, then go to pull it out and make one hell of a mess of everything when coolant comes shooting out....joy. I do have a question though, when I push the sleeve back in do I stick the injector in while I wait for the Loctite to cure?

I do.
I just leave the coolant out and let it sit overnight afterward. This way, if you're feeling confident (no reason not to), you can at least get the truck put back together (since getting to the injectors is the time consuming part anyway!!).
