when i put in new injectors do i need to bleed them or will they bleed them selfs.if i need to bleed them what is the best way thanks

When I did mine I swapped the driver's side injectors first without disturbing anything on the passenger side. With the drivers side injectors completely installed I started the truck to make sure all injector lines were working on the "new" side. Then I tore into the injectors on the passenger side, removing the turbo, etc.

I didn't disturb the injector lines any more than necessary so they were still mostly full of fuel.

Both times I started the truck, it started with no hiccups so I think the answer to your questions is no, you don't have to bleed these injectors after installation. I think you do want to make sure you have a working lift pump so the IP isn't doing double duty while trying to purge the air from the injector lines.

I did my injectors all at the same time. Did passenger’s first (the hard side) then drivers. I always like to do the hard stuff first. Get the loomed hoses out of the way on the driver’s side. Or cover/wrap them in something. The passenger’s side I was injury free, on the driver’s side that loom cut me all up (little nicks all over). My truck kinda stumbled on first crank but fired right up. My guess was it was just getting the air out of the injectors on the initial crank on the new injectors.

If you pull the turbo make sure to prime it before cranking. Just pour some oil in it so there is not a dry start on it. I have had more problems with my oil return line than anything else.

Did you say poor oil in the turbo?
what kind of damage could a dry start cause?
Thanks

Just in the oil line port on top of the turbo before you attach the oil feed line. Dry start can hurt/damage bearings it doesn’t take much oil to lube. Just make sure there is some in there.
