so I guess you are saying that it depends on how the truck is running?
To a certain extent. There sure can be other causes but in my case I was pretty sure it was injectors which it was.

How about the injector Pump? Did you have to replace that yet?
I would never replace mine, I'd get my existing one overhauled at an authorized Stanadyne pump shop which I did. Mine gave me trouble prematurely at fairly low mileage. In fact the pump shop owner asked me if maybe somebody had set the speedo back, which they hadn't, I bought the truck brand new right from the dealer. I'm convinced mine went out early at less than 100,000 because I fueled up once on a trip and the fuel was the color of diesel, but smelled more like gasoline. I questioned the station owner but the most he'd admit to was that that diesel tank had once been use for gas. I've got 165,000+ on the pump since he overhauled and calibrated it and hopefully I don't have to touch it for years from now. He said clean fuel, no water and they about last forever.
