Showing 15 ohms on inj 2...compared to inj 4 and they are consitant. I have #2 unhooked atm while the truck is running and it makes no difference in idle if I plug/unplug/plug back in. I'm gonna go see if I can get a fuel pressure tester at the Zone. I'm gonna leave it unplugged for now so Im not washing out the cyl...

Good choice, stop at the drug store on the way and get some M.O.M so you can take care of that ****ing firm problem

LOL, no doubt. Of all typos to make...

Tried to fix it and couldn't, was too late haha

Well I found a tester (loaner tool) and as nice as it was, it didn't have the adapter hose that I needed. I'm gonna go try another parts store. Had to run back home and get my wallet...whata day. Had today off for some recovery time from a monor surgery (major to us men) but it aint so bad. Just trying to get done what I can while I have this day. So please stay posted and thanks for all the help

Got it...damn boogers.

O-rings, do they go on the inner groove or out on the nipple? They're getting left behind as they come out.

Im gonna swap 2 and 4

EDIT...before dropping back into the manifold I turn the key on, with nothing electrical plugged in. One injecter has a steady drip. Guess thats no good

No , that's not good. Get new orings at the parts store btw. Don't try and reuse them, they will just leak.

Dug through a pile of injectors and found a very close match ( I bought a new one as well...just in case)

Runs ALOT better. Still not 100% but is better by leaps and bounds. I believe if I found the TSB and maybe dig a little deeper into the #5 misfire that it'll be gooder than almost new. I'll clear the codes tomorrow and see what shows up. But for now it runs better, shifts better and only has a slight vibration in OD. I can deal with it till it warms up outta the single digits

Thanks for the help on this go 'round
