Fuel injector replacement, needed at what mileage?

[TriX5]

Thanks guys, great info, perhaps best to have the current items checked first and then decide to keep or replace. I had replaced the seals on the injectors a year or two ago, they seem quite durable.

This morning I sent JCL Injectors in Darlington an email requesting a price for a cleaning and testing as they do not have anything on their website. Darlington and Severna Park are both less than an hour away from me so that works.

I can’t recall what it cost me when I had the injectors cleaned and tested. I needed a rail and the injectors cam with, so I figured it was worth doing for my motor swap project. Let us know how it works out.

My '02 had 389,000 miles on the original injectors when I sold it. I only ran Shell gasoline and never used any fuel system cleaners.



Currently have 130,000 miles on my '16 F15 and 105,000 miles on the CEO's '14 F32 with no fuel system issues, again though, only running Shell gasoline.

The Darlington outfit never responded to my EM. (Not surprising around here). Severna Park quotes $120 on their website. I am running out of time to mess with that and given the feedback on this board I guess another 100k on the original set should not be an issue.

Last night I put the lower oil pan on and the passenger side drive axle support. This morning I picked up the O-rings for the oil filter flange. That will be the last bit of maintenance before putting the front diff on the upper oil pan and setting the engine back on the sub-frame. Tomorrow I am expecting the GAS timing tools for the cam reluctor rings. Let's see how far I can get in the next 48 hours.

EDIT: Not too bad for an afternnon's work. The engine is back on the sub-frame and the transmission is mated with the engine once more. Always so much fun to put the bolts in the flex plate..... The GAS jigs for the reluctor plates came in the mail at 6pm so that literally took me 3 minutes to set up.

Tomorrow I will put the transfer case and the cross brace back on. Then the upper timing covers and valve covers will find their way back on the engine. Finally, the power steering pump and the belt tensioners will go back on. Getting the engine lined up under the car will probably not happen until Saturday which is my last day wrenching until after a holiday trip with the wife and kids.
