2007 - 5.9... are the injector troubles over??

[JHardwick]

I don't work my truck hard, and I just use it for around town usage, sometimes on freeway.

Is there a way to get the carbon/other deposits off the injectors without renting something heavy to tow? The only thing I can think of it to rent a tractor (or something cheap) and drag it up in the hills, etc.

If I did do this, about how long and how hot should I get it, 1 hr @ 1200 F EGT?

I guess I could mechanically remove the deposits by removing the injectors?

No problems with my truck, just preventive maintenance.

Shoulda bought the tool for the job, LOL.

I have read about the earlier HPCR 5. 9s with injector problems. I just bought a new 2007 with the 5. 9. Is there any info I need to know to keep them in good order? Have they been improved over the earlier engines? I have heard about "no prolonged idle". I would imagine that I should run the finer micron filter. Thanks

i have a 07 5. 9 and i have just started getting a pop when i let off the accelator. i have been gaining fuel in the oil with i believe is all comming from a bad injector. i am taking it back to the dealer next week to find the problem. i will post the results.

Well, I finally got my injectors back in the truck. All six needed to be reworked. It's like a new truck again.

What kinda symptoms would a bad injector give? My 06 has had a wierd rattle and has a very diffent sound than anyother HPCR dodge I've heard. and ia seems like it has a miss and the nosie has been getting worse and kinda reminds me of a 7. 3 powerjoke and my milage just hasn't been what i feel it should be.

Here's the original injector replacement poll. About 18% replacement rate so far. Been steadily climbing over the years.
