Ok finally got new injectors...you guys got any tips or tricks to make the instalation easier?
also got the 4" exhaust from ssdiesel so hopefully thats pretty straight forward.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

I'd take some anti seize lubricant and use that to hold the washers on the tip of the injector. Also you could use an impact and a 1 foot extension to do the driver's side.

Thanks in advance for all the help.I suggest using the search feature. There are many threads with tons of advice on replacing injectors.

I would put the new downpipe in while the turbo is off.

When I did my SSD's 4" exhaust, I had to trim about 1 1/2" from the back of the down pipe (to clear the crossmember). The provided clamps don't really clamp well ( might have seen better results using an impact) shoot I tried using 4" stainless band clamps - they didn't hold either. It helped alot having the dump bed up, so mine went fairly easy. The provided hangers are still in the box - I made my own out of 1" flat bar stock. It ain't goin nowhere. Side note, my stainless exhaust is starting to rust. NOT happy about that!! Hope this helps,
