OK, dealer just called, here's the deal, i've got 3 leaky injector o-rings as well as an IPR valve that had a leaky oring. He recommends replacing all 8 orings, and the valve which costs $1,500, because it's 11 hours in labor. I asked if i should replace the injectors while i'm in there and he said he wouldn't bother, he's got a 2 7.3's both with stock injectors and one with 269K miles. He did suggest i replace the glow plugs while i'm in there and get rid of the napa glow plug relay because it was getting really hot, to the point it was starting to smoke. The total for the relay and plugs was around $300. He said he ran the international relay and lasted about a year, and he's back to the ford mastercraft relay and it's been 2 years and still going strong. The other option he said he would recommend is the BG Injector flush, it's roughly $150, and they pour a solvant in the tank, and run the truck at high idle for 30 min or so to flush everything out. He said it works great and he gained almost 2mpg more on his trucks and better throttle response.
He also said DO NOT SELL that 7.3, the only reason he has a job is because of all the 6.0L's he's working on
So what do you guys think? I am laid off so money is tight, and i do have some time, but is this going to be a project that's over my head? He said there's a certain way you need to drain the HPOP and it's a rather complex job.
