I went and got the ultrasonic cleaner, and using it now. The first two have been in for about 30 mins and still aren't clean, i'm using mineral spirits cuz thats what i had in the garage. Think i'm gonna go get some injector cleaner to see if that does more.

I always use Red Line fuel system cleaner. I think it works great. you can get it at any Kragen, O'Reily or Auto Zone for about Ten bucks. Also if I were you, I'd use compressed air in the fuel lines to blow out any remaining gummy gas. Just a thought. Also, since it's been sitting for a while before you bought it. Make sure you change all the fluids. Tranny, motor, Power steering, diff and coolant. It's just good policy as far as I'm concernd.

Thank you all sooooo much. It runs! I cleaned he injectors and blew out the fuel lines. The injectors where terrible, dirty as can be. The only bad thing is i used the old o-rings and now have a couple of leaks. Just bought more o-rings at autozone but they only had the lowers? they couldn't find any upper o-rings for the injectors. Does anyone know if there the same size? Any way i'll get it completed tomorrow. Thank you all for all the help, don't think i could have done it without you. I'll be taking some pics of my beast this week, so you can see her.
Thanks again
P.S. the wife loves her new ***erly cleaner

uppers and lowers are the same.

That's not true for the 4.7 motor BTW, but those O-rings are blue and black.

Glad to hear it runs. Its a great feeling to hear it run after fixing it. who needs a high school to diagnose your truck when you got dodgeforum.com, am I right? be sure no one drives it until you fix those leaks. after all, there gas leaks. the last thing you want, I'm sure, is the truck to catch fire and someone to get hurt.

yeah.. like my old colorado that decided to have a cracked fuel rail in 60,000 miles on an 06.. sprayed gas when the fuel pump priming and the hood open about 6 or 7 feet up like a fountain.. DEF not the safest thing to drive around.. but grats on fixing it.. and as everyone told you.. any other issues.. drop us a shout.

Thanks guys.
I fixed the leakes on the injectors, but it still has a miss. I still need to route the plug wires properly and i'm going to unplug injectors to find out if one is bad. Hopefully thats it!
