Injector Question

My 8.1l has been patiently waiting for me to put it in my crew cab. It has been sitting longer than I care to admit. So my question is, what do I need to do with my injectors? Clean them? Or replace them?

If cleaning is a legitimate option, what do you use/do?

Thanks for the help!

Re: Injector Question

Anybody? I filled my fuel line with lucas fuel additive before I primed the pump. Not sure if it helped, but mine started on the first try.

If they're stuck, or you think they might be, take them out and soak them overnight in Seafoam, it's always worked wonders for me.

Re: Injector Question

Well, both ideas sound good to me. We're about a month away from starting this, so I will prepare accordingly and if anyone else has any ideas, throw them on the table.

Thanks, guys I really appreciate it!

I plan on doing the same thing. Hopefully I'll have results by next week.
