the ford injectors work quite well and last as long as any other brand of diesel,IF you maintain fuel pressure. when the fuel filters plug or the fuel pump dies the injectors will croak very soon. unfortunately damage to the injectors occurrs while the engine still sounds ok, by the time you hear the engine starving the injectors are screwed. too bad ford won't add a system to monitor fuel pressure and activate a warning light, that by itself would have saved them millions in warranty and customer satisfaction. the best warranty is building it right so that you don't see the same components failing on every unit. its the designed in defects that drive customers away, that and replacing only the parts that totally fail instead of admitting what caused them to fail, fixing the real cause and any other parts that were hurt by the failure. ie change out 1 or 2 injectors when they failed due to low fuel pressure and then then in 2 weeks you're back to change another couple.if they fixed the pressure issue and all or more of the injectors they wouldn't have the same truck back 3 times for the same prob. oh and the customer would be a lot happier
